If you feel like a cheapskate when purchasing a Raspberry Pi 5 16GB for only $305, there’s now a solution to avoid embarrassment. Meet the $3,640 AIS-1000 AI Surveillance Station, pairing a Raspberry Pi 5 with a Hailo-8L AI accelerator and a 1TB NVMe SSD, all housed in a metal enclosure.
Jokes aside, the device from Planet Technology is real, and users mostly pay for NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) and TAA ( Trade Agreements Act ) compliance for use in AI-enhanced surveillance applications for government, critical infrastructure, or other high-security applications.
