Motion Controlled Camera Using MESH SDK

Do you want to automate your camera to capture your pet's best moments while you are not home? The MESH Motion Sensor makes it possible for cameras that support SDK. For example, we have placed a MESH Motion Sensor next to cat food and cat toys to capture the moment the cat is eating or playing.

How does it work?

Using a camera which supports SDK will allow you to use the MESH SDK feature to import or export Java code using the MESH SDK page. The MESH Motion Sensor is "Detecting" the pet moving and translates this movement as a signal to the camera to capture photo within its range.

Suggested:

• 1x MESH Motion
• Sony Camera Model (HDR-AS100V) or any other model that support SDK.
• WiFi
