Our vibration analysis solution WaveCam is the perfect tool for non-contact and high-resolution vibration measurement for experts and beginners. WaveCam amplifies motion invisible to the human eye. Analyze your vibration data in the time and frequency domain to monitor machines, buildings and structures.
To get started, all you need is a camera and our software to process the data. Save the time handling lots of cables and sensors, or setting and measuring single measurement locations consecutively. Every single pixel will serve as an individual sensor allowing you to monitor vibration and track every motion.
Some of your advantages with WaveCam:
Vibration measurement data extraction requires uncompresed video files that can be recorded with all available high-speed cameras as well as smartphone cameras. We recommend using
a high-speed camera by Chronos.

WaveCam – Video Vibration Analysis on a Wind Turbine
What is visible on a small scale - as in the measurement on this Lego wind turbine - also works for real wind turbines. Measurements on energy plants can be carried out easily, quickly and without complex preparations. Motion magnifications through our WaveCam software make it possible to visualize vibrations in a way that the human eye cannot see.

Vibration Analysis on Bridge Model
By studying a bridge model's dynamic behavior under different forces like traffic loads and wind gusts, we gain crucial insights into its structural integrity and resilience.
Using our advanced simulation software WaveCam, even the tiniest fluctuations in the bridge's response can be detected.
This innovative approach not only allows for a more thorough understanding of a bridge's natural frequencies and mode shapes but also facilitates early detection of structural anomalies or damage.
