{{}} + 1. Configure a camera

+

First, create a robot if you haven't yet.

+

Then add a camera component, such as a webcam.

+
{{}} + 2. Configure the data management service

+

Next, add the data management service to be able to configure how your camera captures and stores images.

+

Then configure data capture and cloud sync.

+
{{}} + 3. Capture data

+

With data management configured, capture image data from a camera on your machine. Captured data is automatically synced to the cloud after a short delay.

+
{{}} + 4. View data in the Viam app

+

Once you have synced images, you can view those images in the Viam app from the Data tab.

+
{{}} + 5. Filter data by common search criteria

+

You can filter synced images in the Viam app using the Filtering menu under the Data tab in the Viam app, using search criteria such as robot name, location, date range, or component name.

+
{{}} + 6. Export data

+

You can also export your data from the Viam app to a deployed machine, or to any computer.
