Updates on Roc Camera:
- Domestic orders shipping starting in May is our current estimate (may still slip)
- Software work has been focused on bug fixes in video streaming (a lot of gstreamer / WebRTC / RTSP / H.264 codec fixes we’ve been slogging through)
- Also want to make sure it’s GPU hardware accelerated
- Hardware side is done
- Currently wrapping up optimizing for manufacturability
- We've printed all the lenses
- Next we'll print all the other individual components in batch one by one
- Then after, we’ll tackle assembly
- All our boxes that we ordered months ago have all arrived
- Then need to get all the stickers that go on the devices
- Then we will be shipping them out

Updates on Roc Camera
- We're close to manufacturing. By 'Manufacturing' we consider it to be 2 parts: Printing & Assembly
- Integration / QA is gating printing / assembly - one of the decisions we made early on was to not do QA at the very end, but try to do it through the entire process. You can't improve quality when the product is coming off the line (Thanks W. Edwards Deming)
- We've assembled ~3 beta devices so far
- We've recently made some improvements to our latest v0.8.10 hardware - which improves the way in which we manufacture / assemble our devices
- But until those hardware changes are re-tested again through our printer settings, we're not ready to start the production prints
- We thankfully sourced almost all our components before the tariffs hit - so we're good there
- End of this month / early next month is when we are shooting for some of our first Roc Cameras coming off the assembly line
- And by assembly line I mean my garage
- Thank you for your patience
- Can't wait to get you one

It’s coming together

Man. That last 10% is like dragging yourself through the mud

We have made so many mistakes so far with how we’ve been building roc camera - (I’ve already I’ve lost count…) but wouldn’t change what we committed to (doing it in house) for the world.

Just realized I think I’d have trouble trusting Roc camera if it was manufactured anywhere else.

Can you have Roc Camera prove the secure manufacturing of Roc Camera?

By "manufacturing" you mean "by hand"
By "America" you mean "my garage"

Then yes, we're manufacturing Roc Camera in the USA
