Early prototype
"trajectory trigger"
employs a 6 DOF IMU
for position sensing and
target tracking.

In 2008, Serveball's founder invented the world's first intelligent throwable camera capable of panoramic photography, 360° spherical image capture and stabilized video capture. Today, as this fledgling space begins to take flight, we're engineering state-of-the-art technology for the decade ahead. Simply put, cameras and sensors are going airborne.

Serveball is the leading technology developer of throwable cameras and wireless systems capable of processing stitched landscapes, stabilized video panoramas and full 360° spherical panoramas for reconnaissance and recreation.

Our patented Squito camera, in development for manufacture and license as a consumer product, is a throwable panoramic video camera with embedded position sensors and high-speed, wide-angle cameras.

Squito is built on an extensible platform, customized for recreational sports, fly-through video, aerial POV, Steadicam® and dolly-free tracking, and infrared and thermal imaging.

Our portfolio of patents issued and pending at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office describe a broad range of thrown or projected cameras capable of using real time location, orientation and sensor information available over the course of an airborne trajectory.

Throwable cameras for work and play, and for saving lives.

Serveball throwable camera technology has unparalleled potential, for recreational users and professionals alike. Action sports. Cartography. Real estate. Architecture. Photography, videography and filmmaking.

As a reconnaissance tool, Serveball's patented technology meets critical operational and performance standards, performing reliably when airborne and at the front lines of search-and-rescue, first responder and tactical operations.

Can a Serveball camera survive repeated high-g impacts? Absolutely. We've teamed up with renown manufacturing partners including Tektite Industries and RAM Mounts to ensure that Serveball camera housings, components and accessories provide years of rugged reliability.

Because SLAM, cloud computing and big data aren't buzzwords.

Defining a new generation of cameras, we're at work building the world's first throwable camera network, in which a deployed camera shares data, not only with a wireless client such as a cellphone or tablet, but with network devices including other network cameras, remote image database servers and cloud-based image processors.

360° Panoramic Video

Our plug-and-play architecture provides tremendous opportunity for sensor customization. Whether an application requires next-generation IR imaging, audio or onboard atmospheric sensors, a modular approach provides simplicity, affordability and reliability.

Anticipating state and federal UAV legislation regulating wireless airborne imaging applications and collection of privacy-sensitive data, Serveball's patented technology stands alone as the only throwable imaging solution developed in the U.S.A. Our products are U.S. CBP certified, made in the U.S.A.

We've been pioneering new markets for 25 years, always leading with world-class brands, top-selling products and solutions. Please contact us for more info about Serveball, Squito products, IP licensing and partnership opportunities.
