      Using the WaveCam app

      WaveCam™ is a fully autonomous camera paired with the device to bring images and sensor data together.

      You can overlay sensor data with video frames and see both together at any point in time. You can create a time-lapse video that captures images and sensor data immediately preceding and during some event. The time-laps videos can be downloaded and sent to users.
