Home-cage video monitoring

See every cage without walking into the room.

Cameras on your racks let your team make routine checks from outside the room, the building or the containment suite.

SwiftSENSE in the platform's Recordings page: three mice found and followed on a rack's side camera, by day and with the lights off, then the cage's activity. The camera name and the activity numbers are demo data.

What it does

SwiftSENSE cameras mounted on a rack, one behind each cage.

Remote health checks

Staff open the rack's live view from a desk, another building or home, and record what they see.

Activity and behavior from video

The same footage measures activity, and custom behavior AI tracks what your study needs.

Shown: three mice followed with the lights off, on an infrared camera.

SwiftSENSE Edge, on your site

Questions

Can we use video monitoring without the rest of the platform?

Yes. SwiftSENSE stands on its own. SwiftSENSE Edge records and keeps the footage on a computer at your site, with an offline configuration for strict IT settings.

Does it replace hands-on checks?

No. It moves the routine look to a screen. Anything that needs a hands-on check still gets one, under your facility's approved procedure; your IACUC decides which checks can be remote.

Where is the footage kept?

With SwiftSENSE Edge, on your own storage at your facility. Cloud features, including optional AI, are a separate choice.

Who can see the cameras?

People your organization gives access to. On an offline setup, your IT team controls who reaches the workstation.
