Camera FAQS
How does my phone connect to the camera?
The camera emits its own Wi-Fi signal, so you won't need an external Wi-Fi network on court.
The camera uses Wi-Fi Direct: a common, fast, and secure connection protocol for devices that require their own network.
Will the camera work without the app?
At this time, the app is required to launch a session and interact with the camera.
We are working on a "standalone" mode, mostly for line calling purposes, where the system will automatically launch a session without an app.
Does the camera need to see the bounce to make a call? Is it image-based or trajectory-based?
The camera calculates the whole 3D trajectory of the ball based on a combination of visual data, aerodynamic models and additional information.
While seeing the bounce can improve the accuracy of the call, it isn't necessary to produce an estimate.
Can the camera tell the difference between left- and right-handed players for forehand/backhand classification?
Yes. Players will be asked at sign-up whether they are left- or right-handed.
Additionally, the camera's AI differentiates a forehand from a backhand regardless of the hitting hand.
Will the camera identify a serve and call the lines accordingly?
Yes. Serves are called as serves, and ground strokes as ground strokes.
Does the camera register volleys?
Yes. Volleys are registered as strokes without ball placement, and their speed / net clearance are taken into account when calculating session averages.
Can I use the camera's speakers to play music while playing?
Not yet. But it is one of the priorities in our features pipeline!
