ONVU Technologies, a global technology group focussed on smart video, IoT and cloud applications for the surveillance and education sectors, has announced the direct camera-to-cloud connectivity of its C-Series camera platform.
ONVU Technologies develops technology to answer genuine challenges. Whether that is creating business intelligence insights and providing safer environments for a variety of sectors, or helping teachers create better student outcomes by leveraging IoT devices in the classroom for insight and CPD, ONVU Technologies are at the forefront of camera and cloud connectivity. This announcement is a big step forward and a key enablement for its business units’ future plans.
The ONVU Technologies C-Series camera range now embeds all its cloud technology within its elegant and compact form factor and extensive software system resources which include machine learning and AI capabilities, this negates the need for an external gateway box to facilitate the connection to the cloud.
This takes ONVU Technologies’ IoT device capabilities further than ever before and enables its business units to deliver better solutions to its customers. The impact and benefits will be felt first by educational institutions, such as schools, who have chosen the ONVU Learning solution, further enabling them to empower educators with a more advanced and simpler to install product.
One of the key components of the ONVU Learning solution is the ability to capture and store 360-degree video footage of lessons and securely share via the ONVU Learning cloud powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS). Viewing these clips helps teachers gain a true picture of the classroom learning experience identifying specific points for reflection and allowing them complete autonomy over their professional development given their school’s frameworks.
This announcement means that from now all ONVU Learning solution’s subscriptions will ship with only a camera and studio quality microphone. The primary benefits of this are; using less power, reducing cost and less cabling and equipment in the classroom. Most importantly this makes the installation of ONVU Learning an even easier process for the school.
“This is such an exciting time for ONVU Technologies,” says Jon Marsh, senior vice president of technology, ONVU Technologies. “Our foresight in selecting Qualcomm to partner with for C-Series and the choice of AWS to enable our dynamic cloud platform has already paid off, as we reach this key milestone in our IoT future. It’s exciting to see technical advancement make such a real-world difference to our ONVU Learning customers, removing even more barriers to schools adopting this empowering approach to CPD.”
“The next stage of evolution of the C-Series platform as an IoT device platform allows for a relatively seamless transformation of the modern-day classroom to give teachers more flexibility around their environment,” says Siddartha Franco, director, business development, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “This collaboration between ONVU and Qualcomm Technologies will integrate on-device machine learning and artificial intelligence into the classroom, increasing accessibility to this technology for teachers.”
