Live View

Live View is the screen RapiD Vision opens to by default (the Home item in the navigation menu). It shows a live tile for every vision system currently connected to the client.

Layout

Each connected system gets its own tile, arranged automatically in a grid. The tile's header floats over the camera feed as a set of dark pills:

  • Top left — the system's Machine name and active Configuration, with a Standby or recording chip when that applies.
  • Telemetry — a summary of the system's diagnostics (camera/light/sensor status, temperatures, network usage, detections per minute, and similar health indicators). The values have a fixed width, so the header no longer jumps around as they change.
  • Top right — the actions menu and a collapse toggle, to shrink a tile you don't need to watch right now down to a small chip.
  • Bottom left — the Active Batch and the active Sorting Recipe.
  • Bottom right — on a 3D feed, the colour-mode and Plane pills for the point cloud.
  • An AI prompt box, shown only when the active detector supports text-prompt detection.

Above the tiles, a command bar has a Refresh button, a Stream selector (see below), and an instance selector for choosing which connected system(s) to show. Long machine names are shortened with an ellipsis there; hover over one to see it in full.

Stream Types

Use the Stream dropdown on a tile to choose what it displays:

Stream Shows
Live The top camera's live feed. Scroll to zoom, drag to pan.
Live bottom The bottom camera's live feed (only available if the configuration uses a bottom detector).
Live multi Top and bottom camera feeds side by side.
Detections A per-lane view of detected products/spots with their measurements (position, length, sorting output, angle, weight, volume, height, area, and any matched custom color).
Diagnostics Live charts instead of video. Choose a Graph type and Time period from the extra dropdowns that appear for this stream.

Tile Actions

Select the ⋮ menu on a tile for:

  • Restart Machine — restarts the vision system, after confirmation.
  • Trigger Batch — manually ends the current batch and starts a new one.
  • Reset Ecomode — clears eco mode / wakes the system up.
  • Change Configuration — jumps to Vision Configurations.
  • Change Sorting Recipe — jumps to Sorting Recipes.
  • Record Video — opens the Record Video dialog.
  • Data Collection — opens the Data Collection dialog (Admin role only).

Recording a Video

  1. Select Record Video from a tile's ⋮ menu.
  2. Choose the Camera (Top or Bottom) and a Duration (30, 60, 120, or 180 seconds).
  3. Optionally enable Include detection overlays to draw the configured detection overlays into the video, instead of recording the raw camera image.
  4. Select Start Recording. The tile shows a recording indicator and countdown; select Stop Recording to end it early.
  5. Once the recording finishes uploading, choose where to save the resulting .mp4 file.

Collecting Training Images

Data Collection is a commissioning tool for admins. It saves raw camera images to the cloud at a fixed interval, so they can be used to train an AI model later.

  1. Select Data Collection from a tile's ⋮ menu.
  2. Choose the Camera (Top, Bottom or Both), the Interval (seconds) between images, and the Maximum number of images.
  3. Leave Only save frames with a detection on (the default) to skip images of an empty belt: the device then saves at most one image per interval, and only once a frame has a detection in it.
  4. Optionally turn on Start at a later time and pick a Start date and Start time, up to 7 days ahead. Until then the dialog shows Waiting, starts at … and no images are taken.
  5. Select Start data collection. The dialog shows how many images have been saved, and how many failed to upload.

The images are stored in folders of 100. Data collection stops by itself at the maximum, when you select Stop data collection, or when the device restarts.

System Notifications

An expandable System Notifications panel in the bottom corner lists active alerts for the connected systems. Each notification has a resolve button once you've addressed it.

Standby

When the belt runs without products for a while, the system goes into standby: the feed keeps streaming, but inference slows down until the next product arrives. The tile's header then shows a Standby chip (tooltip: Waiting for product), and the system shows a blue STANDBY chip on the Home page. Standby is not shown during eco mode or an emergency stop.

How long the belt has to run empty before standby starts is set with Standby after no product for (s) on Options ▸ Advanced.

Settings Mode

While the Options page has its Filters or Camera tab open, the device is in settings mode: processing is paused and nothing is sent to the robot. If a device is left in settings mode — for example because the app was closed or lost its connection while on that tab — every page except Options shows a banner (Settings mode is on, processing is paused.) with an Exit settings mode button, and the system shows a SETTINGS MODE chip on the Home page. Settings mode is never saved, so it also ends when the device restarts.

Cabinet Open / Eco Mode

If a system's cabinet is open, or it's in eco mode, its tile replaces the video with a status message instead of a live stream until the condition clears.

The appearance of detection overlays (bounding boxes, contours, colors, and similar) is configured separately, from the Style section of Options ▸ Advanced. Camera exposure, gain, and lighting are configured from Options ▸ Camera.
