Our Brand Story

The Archon Vision story began during a transformative wildlife photography expedition in Yellowstone National Park in summer 2022. Our founder Benjamin, a seasoned engineer with extensive experience in optical systems, faced a persistent challenge that plagued outdoor photographers worldwide: the inability of traditional camera equipment to maintain stable tracking of fast-moving wildlife, resulting in countless missed opportunities to capture nature's most extraordinary moments.

Inspired by this experience, Benjamin assembled a team of visionary engineers and AI specialists from leading tech companies. Through months of intensive research and development, they pioneered breakthrough intelligent tracking algorithms capable of automatically identifying, predicting, and following moving subjects with unprecedented accuracy and stability.

Recognizing the transformative potential of this technology, the team officially launched Archon Vision in California in December 2023. The name "Archon," derived from ancient Greek meaning "guardian" and "observer," embodies our commitment to helping users capture and preserve life's most precious and fleeting moments in the natural world.

Today, after intensive development and market validation, we've successfully launched our flagship product line: Hound SE, Hound Pro, and Hound Ultra, each engineered to meet distinct user needs and performance requirements. With growing recognition in the North American market and continuous innovation in AI-powered tracking technology, Archon Vision is positioned to become the definitive leader in intelligent outdoor surveillance solutions.

Our Mission

Through advanced visual technology, create a safer, more convenient, and smarter outdoor experience for users.

Our Vision

To become the world's leading intelligent tracking camera solution provider with our official 2026 market launch, enabling everyone to easily capture the wonderful moments in life.
