One Board for an 8-Camera Site: The Interceptor as Switch, Recorder, and Storage

Thu, 15 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A typical small camera site, like a dental office, a storefront, or a storage facility, looks something like this:

A PoE switch for the cameras. An NVR or a small server to record them. A few drives. Power bricks and patch cables tying it all together. It works, but it’s three boxes doing a job one board could do.

The Exaviz Interceptor is that board. The Interceptor Carrier Board holds a Raspberry Pi Compute Module, five SATA drives, and a 4-port Gigabit switch. Add one Interceptor PoE Board and you have 8 PoE+ camera ports. Your recording software runs on the Compute Module, right next to the ports that power the cameras.
