Preloaded AI Algorithms

The Brain-Box includes preloaded computer vision algorithms that run entirely on-site, without a cloud service or external API. During a mission, the selected algorithm analyses the live camera feed, identifies matching objects, draws detections on the feed, and records useful metadata for later review.

In mission setup, set Capture to AI Video, choose the algorithm and target object class(es), then set a confidence threshold. The Brain-Box processes the video feed in real time as the drone flies: detections are annotated and stored with metadata for immediate review.

AI detections displayed on the live drone feed during a 360-degree waypoint mission

Detection Data

Each detection stores the following parameters:

• IDA unique identifier for the detected object.
• Confidence %The algorithm's confidence score for the detection.
• LatitudeThe recorded latitude of the detection.
• LongitudeThe recorded longitude of the detection.
• SpeedThe detected object's speed, when applicable.

Gallery

The Gallery stores all imagery and video captured during missions on the Brain-Box internal storage. When you first open the Gallery, you are presented with a timeline view showing all recently captured media organised by period: today, this month, last month, and so on. This gives you quick access to the latest media without needing to navigate into a specific project.

To view media for a specific mission, click on a project in the left-hand panel. The gallery will filter to show only the media captured during that mission.

This is Level 3 connectivity in the three-tier access model. Useful for remote managers or fleet supervisors who need visibility without a direct network connection to the site. See Connectivity Levels for the full breakdown.

DockWatch Trailer Trailer Only

If you have purchased the DockWatch Trailer, the Trailer page provides access to trailer-specific cameras, sensors, and climate controls.

DockWatch Trailer page: camera feeds, sensor data, and climate controls

Air Traffic Monitoring

Both hardware configurations include air traffic awareness, though the source and range differ:

Air traffic overlay: detected aircraft shown with position, altitude, and track

Air traffic controls: 1: Air traffic toggle, 2: Air traffic filter (ft), 3: Flight information visible after left-clicking a plane icon on the map

In this second air traffic example, the numbered markers highlight the main interactive parts of the feature. 1 is the quick toggle used to show or hide all aircraft overlays on the map. 2 is the altitude filter in feet, which helps reduce clutter by limiting which aircraft are displayed. 3 shows the flight information panel that appears after you left-click an aircraft icon, giving the operator a clearer readout of that aircraft’s details without leaving the map view.

The air traffic overlay is toggled on/off using the icon below the connection status bar in the top right. The overlay also includes a configurable altitude filter in feet, and left-clicking a plane icon on the map opens the flight information panel for that aircraft.

API Integration

API Integration enables custom connections between SAI-HUB DD and third-party systems, including cameras, environmental sensors, and other site equipment.

• CamerasConnect additional visual monitoring sources to a tailored workflow.
• SensorsBring data from environmental or operational sensors into a custom integration.
• Custom SystemsExchange data with other site software or hardware through a project-specific API connection.
