Cameras

Your cameras. Steve on watch.

Point a camera at your storefront, the factory floor or the loading dock, and Steve keeps an eye on it for you. He counts, watches and finds the moment you need.

Steve counting traffic on a public camera on the Sydney Harbour Bridge: each car, van and bus boxed and labelled — **Steve, counting:** 8 cars · 1 bus · 1 truck *Public camera · Live Traffic NSW*

Count what passes

Cars, trucks and people walking past the store, counted as numbers whenever you ask.

How busy was the store front this afternoon?

Watch a zone

Mark the dock or the gate. Steve texts you by iMessage or WhatsApp when something shows up.

Text me if a truck is at the dock after 8 pm.

Find the moment

Describe it and Steve pulls the closest matches from your camera's saved events.

Show me the delivery van from yesterday.

Private to you

Your cameras are seen by you, the people you add and Steve. Public cameras show places, never people.

A house concept as a 3D model, standing on a real lot in the California desert on thinkview

House concept is on the ground

Design it. See it there.

From Steve's desk to the real world.

Steve designs it in thinkjoin: a house, a booth, a storefront, a product. Then he stands the 3D model on the ground at the real address, so you can fly around it on the live globe before anything gets built.

Ask Steve to design it"Make me a two-story house for this lot."
He builds the 3D modelReal geometry, at real size.

The port looks clear: 3 ships waiting at anchor, 35 at berth. The roads aren't: SR-47 is fully closed at Harbor Blvd for bridge work. Here's the live view.
