As an easy-to-use camera management platform, CloVis Central enables remote monitoring, configuration, and control of multiple cameras. In turn, this provides intelligent solutions for managing visual data across various applications. Paired with the e-con Systems’ CloVis Central simplifies the camera management process, it empowers you to focus only on models/algorithms for your specific needs.
Smart cameras have a lot of applications, from retail automation to patient monitoring. However, developing a smart vision solution is easier said than done. One could even argue that it’s much harder than one may imagine! First, you have to find the right camera hardware. Next, you must pick the ideal cloud platform. Then, you should get your hands on the best-suited algorithm model.
Sounds difficult?
Now, you can “go to market” blazingly fast!
Hence, to make things tremendously simple, e-con Systems has developed CloVis Central – an advanced Device Management Platform.
Let’s get up close and person with this breakthrough platform.
Introducing e-con Systems’ CloVis Central
As an easy-to-use camera management platform, CloVis Central enables remote monitoring, configuration, and control of multiple cameras. In turn, this provides intelligent solutions for managing visual data across various applications. Paired with the e-con Systems’ CloVis Central simplifies the camera management process, it empowers you to focus only on models/algorithms for your specific needs. Importantly, it supports users as they deploy models from anywhere and anytime – leading to major time and cost savings.
CloVis Central’s design is also based on FCAPS (fault, configuration, accounting, performance and security) – a state-of-the-art network management framework. It can act as your camera command and control center, empowering you to realize your vision in a few simple steps.

How Clovis accelerates the time-to-market for products
Traditionally, achieving high accuracy in AI models requires large amounts of pre-collected data, which will be a delayed process. However, e-con Systems’ CloVis Central disrupts this by enabling real-time data collection from various stores through centralized camera control. This data stream feeds the AI model, thereby reducing training time.
CloVis Central uses the cloud for AI deployment. This eliminates the need for individual store installations and reduces overall resource requirements. It also brings the products to market faster with high-performing AI models.
e-con Systems’ RouteCAM_CU22_IP67 – our latest GigE camera
RouteCAM_CU22_IP67 is an IP67-rated Full HD Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) camera, based on Sony® STARVIS™ IMX662, 1/2.8″ CMOS image sensor. This camera is compatible with e-con Systems’ CloVis Central platform. With the ability to can stream compressed 1080p video at 60 fps, it also adheres to IEEE 802.3af compliance and includes PTP synchronization support.
