Case Studies
Some examples of commercial projects using FlashAir.
Digital Signage Device
More and more stores are using small signage devices with SD cards to promote products.
By replacing the SD card in the signage devices with FlashAir, digital content can be updated directly
from headquarters
or management via the Internet.
Fixed Point Camera (Time-lapse Photography)

By combining
FlashAir and a battery-operated camera you can avoid a cabled environment altogether and record the captured
time-lapse
images over WiFi. The FlashAir can also save battery consumption by only activating WiFi when the camera
captues
a new images.
