Field Installations

We transform existing home-cages to Digital Home-Cage Monitoring

Systems via retrofit.

Our DigiFrame is a Plug&Play, retrofit solution. Simple to install without tools and based on standardized observation modules (cameras). We developed home cage and rack supplier specific adapters to fit market leading home cage vendors. We are specialized in delivering remote obervation solutions, based on open, ventilated (VC) and standard home cages within the laboratory environment for rodents.

Installation examples

Standardized Observation Units: Own IP and development. AF + IR filter for 24/7 recording

The standardized Compute Unit is maintenance free and streams data of two home cages and up to four cameras per home cage.

Easy to adjust: Simple tool to change observation area and focus.

Dimmable dual (IR and day light – DLS) mounted over the filter element: invisible to monitor 24/7.

Observation Units using standardized HDMI connectors.

Plug & Play to ease: installation, service and maintenance.

Adapters for major home-cage vendors:
Easy transformation to DHCM.

The iMouse system enables our scientists to monitor experiments remotely for the first time.

Digital data recorded from the home cage and can be shared and processed afterwards. This ensures a holistic monitoring/ observation and allows transparency within the research. Results become visible, which were not visible due to the previous low observation density.
