About Exaviz

Short: Exaviz designs carrier boards for Raspberry Pi Compute Modules that put PoE switching, video recording and storage on one small board.

Boilerplate: Exaviz designs carrier boards for Raspberry Pi Compute Modules, so one board can do the work of a PoE switch, a video recorder and an edge server. Its Cruiser board for Raspberry Pi CM5 has eight PoE+ ports and powers up to eight cameras straight from the board, with no separate PoE switch, plus a 2.5GbE uplink, NVMe and two SATA drives on a 170 x 120 mm board that fits Mini-ITX cases with standoff spacers. Its Interceptor board has five SATA ports and takes up to two PoE Boards for 16 PoE+ ports (10/100), for compact NAS and NVR builds. Exaviz boards run standard Raspberry Pi OS, Debian or Ubuntu with Exaviz packages from apt.exaviz.com and need no Exaviz account or Exaviz cloud. Exaviz is an Indiana company.
