Limited edition
We've secured parts for a small production run. We're unsure if and when further batches will be made, so sales are limited to 1 unit per buyer and 1 unit per shipping address. Orders of more than 1 unit will be cancelled and refunded.

Why choose BELABOX BEE over a DIY BELABOX setup?
  • ready to use out of the box, no tinkering involved
  • internal capture card, no more errors caused by capture cards being picky about USB extension cables
  • use up to 4 USB modems, 1 WiFI connection and 1 Ethernet connection out of the box, without having to resort to powered USB hubs
  • high input voltage tolerance, no more undervoltage warnings
  • HDMI input signal detection, if the camera turns off or the cable disconnects, the stream will go to BRB rather than showing a black video
  • about 10% lower power usage than using a DIY Jetson Nano devkit setup* - so longer battery life
