Perception Box
Platform as a Service Offering
The SWARM Perception Box is a managed black box, meaning you do not need to manage hardware/OS/driver/security patches, but you also cannot access the system.
For getting started, you require the following 3 Steps:
1. Installation
Below you can find instructions on how to install the specific products we are offering. Additional requirements for specific use cases, can be found in the Use Case Section of our Documentation.

​
Installation
- 1.Connect the P101 with power via PoE
- 2.Connect the P101 and the camera to your network with ethernet cables.
- 3.Ensure that IPs (and DNS, gateway) are issued to P101 and camera by the DHCP service.
Once the P101 is connected to power and network with Internet connectivity, the Perception Box should be online in your SWARM Control Center.
If you need to set a static IP configuration for the ethernet interface, please contact our support.
