2. SensePRO

SensePRO brings you a product, which will make your action camera (e.g. GoPro) more intelligent and easy to use. The main motivation behind our product is to enable your camera to automatically capture the most exciting moments of your adventures. We also want to make sure you never run out of battery and therefore never miss an exciting moment. Action camera users are worried about the remaining battery and disappointed with missing exciting moments of adventures due to empty battery. They are also tired of spending hours browsing through thousands of pictures or cutting hours of video. SensePRO can solve these annoying problems. The idea is simple – action cameras can be controlled through a number of tiny sensors, which would trigger video/photo capturing in response to changes in the surrounding environment. Hardware sensors are already small enough to be assembled into a small tiny black box, which is attached to an action camera and can fit into official housings
