Every iteration of our cameras comes from rigorous field testing and invaluable customer feedback. In 2021, the countCAM2 evolved into the countCAM3, with extended runtime, scheduling functionality, and the removal of external phone or tablet apps for operation.
Fast forward three years, and the countCAM3 merged with the countSTICK to become the countCAM3+. Then in 2023, the countCAM4 took the stage, building on its predecessors while introducing significant enhancements:
- Durability redefined with the countCAM4 Boot and integrated rain shield.
- Rock-solid internal components secured for resilience in the field.
- Industrial-grade download ports for reliable connections.
- Extended runtime—up to 100 hours.
- Battery indicators, both physical and in-dashboard, for smarter monitoring.
- A wider-angle camera, capturing even more of the action.
But what really sets the countCAM4 apart is how it handles the unexpected.
Recently, a customer reached out about a cracked housing. Why? The camera had fallen 30 feet onto a street, been clipped by a car, tumbled down the road, and—just to top things off—was run over by a school bus.
How do we know this? The camera recorded the entire sequence, functioning through every impact. Despite the cracked housing and a slightly out-of-focus lens, all internal components remained fully operational.
Thanks to our Repair Program, we were able to rehouse the device into a new countCAM4 shell and boot at a fraction of the cost of replacing it. Not only did this result in a satisfied customer, but it also provided a real-world demonstration of the extraordinary durability we strive to achieve.
So, what happens when our camera gets run over by a bus? It keeps working—because that’s what it was designed to do.
