Where our work meets yours.Hardware and software, built together.
Hardware. Software. People.One team, focused on better inspection.
How we build
What Overview does
Built together. Put to work together.
Industrial AI cameras
We build camera systems including the OV10i, OV20i, and OV80i, combining image capture and onboard processing. They help production teams check parts and assemblies at the inspection points that matter.
Our browser-based software lets teams configure inspections, train AI models, and review captured images. Classification and segmentation tools help identify defects and show where they appear, with capabilities depending on the system.
Our applications team helps scope inspections, select cameras and optics, and validate setups in pilots. Training and integration support help manufacturers, integrators, and machine builders move toward repeatable production deployments.
Overview’s camera interface runs in your browser. By comparison, Cognex’s In-Sight 2800 setup guide instructs users to install In-Sight Vision Suite on a PC, making setup software a concrete point to compare.
No required software subscription for OV20i and OV80i
The OV20i and OV80i product specifications list no required software key or subscription. That lets teams plan around the inspection hardware purchase; the configuration, services, and commercial terms are set out in the order.
The OV20i lists capacity for approximately 300,000 images on its 256 GB storage. Teams can review captured images in the browser to investigate inspection decisions; actual capacity depends on image size and configuration.
The OV20i provides two digital inputs and two digital outputs, with EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and OPC UA listed in its specifications. Those interfaces help connect inspection results to plant controls, with integration scoped to the application.
For new inquiries, our contact page sets a response expectation of one business day from a vision engineer. From there, our applications team can help define the inspection, evaluate a pilot, and support deployment.

Built for production teams
Who uses Overview
Automotive and component quality teamsChecking assemblies, welds, connectors, and part condition on production lines.
Electronics manufacturing and automation engineersInspecting connectors, pins, PCBs, and other small features for defects and assembly errors.
Packaging and food production teamsVerifying seals, closures, printed codes, and product appearance.
Systems integrators and machine buildersAdding vision inspection to new equipment or upgrading customers’ existing lines.
When you’ve worked on a production line, quality isn’t an abstract problem.
It’s the part that needs a second look. The defect that’s hard to describe. The inspection that has to work under the conditions you actually have.
Our founding team brought together experience in Tesla manufacturing and large-scale software infrastructure. Overview grew out of a simple conviction: the people responsible for quality deserve better tools.
YY Combinator Winter 20192019
We joined Y Combinator in 2019 to build a company around that problem. Today, we bring cameras, AI, and inspection software together in systems built for manufacturing.
The ambition has grown. The focus is still the factory floor.
What we’re working toward
A world where no defect goes unseen.
Our mission is to catch every manufacturing defect in the world. We’re working toward it one application, one production line, and one customer partnership at a time.
The people behind Overview
Different backgrounds. A shared obsession.
Manufacturing, software, and AI. Brought together to make inspection better.

Contact us by form, email, or phone with your part, defects, line speed, and integration needs. A vision engineer responds to new inquiries within one business day.
Scope the system with our engineers
Work with your Overview contact and applications team to define inspection points and choose the camera, lens, and lighting. We help establish the initial inspection recipes and criteria for testing.
Validate a pilot, then deploy
Test the setup against representative parts and conditions before rolling it out. Pilot, delivery, and production timelines depend on the application and are confirmed with your team during scoping.
Train your team and stay supported
Get help with setup, training, and integration as you move into production. Your sales contact can connect you with an applications engineer; technical support is available by email Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Pacific.
Overview builds AI vision systems that help manufacturers detect defects and verify assemblies. Our offering combines camera hardware, inspection software, and application engineering support.
Who are Overview’s systems for?
We work with manufacturing quality and automation teams, systems integrators, and machine builders. Applications include automotive components, electronics, packaging, and food production.
How much does an Overview camera cost?
Published camera unit prices are $4,450 for OV10i, $9,450 for OV20i, and $13,450 for OV80i, in USD. Accessories, configuration, and services affect the full project cost; check the shop or request a quote for current pricing.
Is a software subscription required?
The OV20i and OV80i specifications list no required software key or subscription. The quotation and applicable terms define the products and services included in your purchase.
How long does it take to get started?
A vision engineer responds to new inquiries within one business day. Pilot and deployment timing depends on your parts, inspection requirements, hardware availability, and integration, so we confirm the schedule during scoping.
Can Overview connect to our production equipment?
For example, the OV20i specifications include digital inputs and outputs plus EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and OPC UA. Our applications team helps scope the connection to your controls and validate the setup for your line.
Who helps us after installation?
Your Overview sales contact can connect you with the appropriate applications engineer or support contact. Technical support is available at support@overview.ai, Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Pacific.
