You might wonder what is the difference between the nodes and the server.
The Nodes and the servers are entirely different generations of product, with different features.
The servers are the 2d generation of Augmenta product and have been entirely redesigned from scratch.
Nodes | Servers | |
Generation | 1st generation | 2d generation |
Architecture | Distributed* | Centralized* |
Sensors | 4+ USB 3D camera and 2D LiDARs | Network sensors only
(20+ 3D cameras and 2D/3D LiDARs) |
Main limitation | 6m ceiling height max | 12m ceiling height max |
Indoor / Outdoor | Indoor | Indoor and outdoor (IP67 to IPX8) |
Network | Deploy your own network (switches) | No network equipment needed, 1-to-1 direct sensor connection to server (by default) |
Price | Cheaper for small projects | Cheaper for big projects |
Interface | 2D web interface (per node) + 2D software (fusion) | One 3D web interface |
Content | Compatible with all plugins | Compatible with all plugins |
Features | Detection, Tracking | Detection, Tracking, Volumetric capture, Zone triggers |

Conclusion
The servers have been designed to manage challenging and small to huge projects in potentially hard environment conditions, while overcoming the limitations of the nodes. The nodes are suitable for small to mid-size projects.
Distributed versus centralized architecture
