Capture layer

The capture layer behind recurring railway intelligence.

RailEdge Camera is the practical starting point for repeatable inspection data. It supports visual capture, GPS and railway location context, onboard storage, connectivity, and motion sensing so scheduled train movement can become a recurring evidence channel.

Forward-facing visual capture from operating trains.

GPS, connectivity, storage, and IMU context in one edge layer.

Selective upload paths for useful media rather than unmanaged raw video.

Operator value

Why railway teams care.

Operators can evaluate inspection capture without commissioning a dedicated inspection train or changing the core operating model.

Investor value

Why this can compound.

Retrofit hardware turns existing train movement into a recurring data collection channel, supporting a capital-efficient path to network coverage.

Workflow

How RailEyes RailEdge Camera fits into the RailEyes platform.

Install the camera unit, power supply, antenna, and mounting system under operator oversight.
Record video, GPS, thumbnails, and device telemetry during scheduled operation.
Upload metadata and selected media with retry logic for weak connectivity.
Delete low-value or expired local recordings while preserving segments of interest.
