Markerless Mocap Hardware & Camera Requirements

AR 51 is a markerless, camera-based motion-capture system: an array of machine-vision cameras feeds a GPU AI server that reconstructs skeletons in real time. This section covers the hardware you need to run it — the camera systems (the 1.3 MP, 5 MP, and 9 MP tiers), the AI server, calibration tools, and the network gear that connects them. Requirements are organized by capture-quality tier, so you can size either a single-PC or a multi-PC deployment.

By the end of this section you'll know which camera tier and server your deployment needs and how the pieces connect.

Camera systems at a glance

Every tier is multi-PC — add as many capture servers as your capture volume needs.

System	Frame rate	Cameras per server	Best for
1.3 MP · PoE	90 fps	up to 12	Budget setups, smaller capture volumes
5 MP	120–240 fps	up to 12	Standard real-time production
9 MP	120 fps	up to 8	Large capture areas, higher fidelity
