Inventory monitoring systems are configured for mounting within enclosures such as refrigerators, cabinets, closets or sets of shelves. The inventory monitoring systems include cameras, illuminators and processors provided within housings that are formed from plastics and mounted within an enclosure. The cameras capture images of items entering or departing the enclosure, and other data regarding conditions within the enclosure. The images or data are interpreted by either the inventory monitoring system processors or an external computer system to identify an item depicted therein, to determine whether the item has entered or departed the enclosure, or to otherwise identify conditions within the enclosure. A record of inventory or other conditions within the enclosure may be updated to reflect the entry or departure of the item accordingly, and information regarding the inventory or the conditions within the enclosure, as determined by the inventory monitoring systems, may be utilized for any purpose.

Devices for monitoring inventory within enclosures

Described herein are systems and techniques for concurrently transmitting ultra-high-definition video data from multiple ultra-high-definition cameras to a single computing device without exceeding the bandwidth of the communication protocols on board the device. The systems use a serializer and deserializer configuration to serialize the multiple ultra-high-definition video streams and concurrently stream them to a deserializer located at the computing device, where a dual or quad deserializer is used to return the video data to a parallel format, the video data useful for making one or more determinations about an environment around the system.
