Goes anywhere, tells you anything.
Machaira is a small battery camera you can put anywhere. Onboard radar and object detection qualify events, reducing unnecessary upload and battery usage. Gen AI in the cloud performs sophisticated analysis, providing contextual alerts and reports. Machaira is designed to be deployed and managed at scale for large areas or distributed assets.
- 01Attach cameraPress the button - the camera connects and registers.
- 02Tell it what mattersIn plain English, like briefing a colleague.
- 03Get told what you needAlerts and reports to the right person.
News without the noise: smart sensors and tiered AI.
Onboard sensors and object detection combined with generative AI provide long battery life with well-qualified and insightful alerts or reports.
- 01
Something moved
PIR wakes the radar.
- 02
Worth a photo?
Radar checks size and position first. If it still looks interesting, we take a photo.
- 03
Worth uploading?
Onboard object detection checks it's the thing you're interested in: a person, a car etc.
- 04
Worth reporting?
Generative AI confirms the object and provides contextual insight. A passer-by or a burglar?
- 05
Who needs to know?
The right person gets a push, SMS, email or webhook with the image and a readable account of what triggered it.
See it on your problem, then shape the camera to it.
Pick a scenario, watch the camera decide
Twenty-two scenarios across seven sectors, motion-triggered or timer-triggered. Step through the pipeline on a single fixed scene, see how the camera and rules would be set up, and the alert you would receive.
Open the explorer →Camera configuratorTrade battery life against response, night and size
Change the battery, imager, illumination, radar, edge AI, comms and the solar option, then the wake sources, schedules and event rates. A monthly energy model tells you how long it lasts and how fast it answers.
Open the configurator →Scenario advisorDescribe your problem, get a proposal
Talk or type. A few questions from our AI solutions engineer, then a camera design and an alerting rule written for your scene, ready to open in the configurator.
Start the advisor →Deployment storyboardSee a camera go into the field
Eight frames from a Defence deployment: a tree, a strap, one button, a confirmation on the operative’s phone, and the camera appearing in the operations desk’s hierarchy. Then five more in an afternoon.
Watch the deployment →Six sectors. One camera.
Ask it the right question, and Machaira fits wherever eyes on a remote scene would help.

What the incumbents can't do.
The market has wildlife cameras that can't think and enterprise cameras that can't deploy. Machaira is built where the real work is, in between.
| Capability | Consumer wildlife | Enterprise fixed | Machaira |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connectivity | 4G | 4G or wired | LTE-M, with LoRaWAN and satellite to follow |
| Understanding | None | Basic object detection | Vision-language model, your own criteria |
| Alerts and reporting | None | Per camera | Cross-fleet, rule-based, quantified |
| Battery life | Weeks | Days without mains | A year and more on battery; solar option |
| Setup and management | Per camera, SIM hassle | Specialist install | One button, batch, hierarchical |
| Integration | Difficult | Systems integrator required | API and webhooks |
| Form | Discreet, separate panel | Large, obvious | Small, monolithic, useless if stolen |
Put eyes, and a mind, anywhere you need them.
We are working with a small number of partners on early deployments. Tell us what you want to watch and we will build a demo against your actual scene.
