AWS Panorama Appliance

The AWS Panorama Appliance is another hardware device option that can integrate seamlessly with your local area network, and can run multiple computer vision (CV) models on multiple concurrent video streams. The AWS Panorama Appliance is a ruggedized IP62 rated edge appliance, which makes it suitable for deployment in many types of environments as it is dust proof and water resistant.

The AWS Panorama Appliance has one HDMI port for connecting to a video monitor to see inference output, and two GigE Ethernet ports to provide redundancy, to connect to two subnets, or for load balancing. The device is about a half rack unit wide, meaning two units can be placed side by side on a standard rack shelf on a server rack and fastened to the rack using the included screws.

AWS Panorama Device Setup

Extract powerful insights from your existing onsite cameras with AWS Panorama devices.

AWS Panorama devices are easy to set up following these steps:

Step 1: Unbox

Say hello to your Panorama device of choice!

Step 2: Plug in and connect to devices

Log in to your AWS account, and install one or more AWS Panorama devices on the same network as your on-premises cameras. Provision your AWS Panorama device for connection to the AWS Cloud and to connect to network cameras.

Step 3: Run CV on camera streams

You can use your own custom CV applications on the AWS Panorama device, or work with AWS Panorama Partners for use cases such as optimizing in-store experiences, improving restaurant operations, and gathering critical supply chain input. The inference results can be displayed on a monitor, or sent through MQTT messaging to a variety of local or cloud-based endpoints or systems.
