A new web client, "SoraCam Viewer" (Early Access), has been added to Soracom Cloud Camera Services (SoraCam) for viewing recorded videos.

While SoraCam videos were already accessible via the User Console, SoraCam Viewer offers a more intuitive interface for video playback.

You can access the viewer here: https://sora-cam-viewer.soracom.io (Login with your Soracom account. Japanese only, no translation available.)

Please note that SoraCam Viewer is currently focused on daily video viewing, and camera registration and management will still need to be performed via the Soracom User Console.

We encourage you to try out "SoraCam Viewer," the new web client that enables more efficient video monitoring. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Soracom Support.

We are excited to announce App Templates for Soracom Flux, a new experience that lets you to effortlessly create Flux apps using predefined configurations.

While Flux provides an easy-to-use interface for building sophisticated IoT applications, apps need to be created from scratch, including selecting data sources, adding channels and actions, and configuring how data is processed and transmitted.

App Templates help you by building a fully-configured Flux App, which you can then customize to suit your specific needs. Simply select a template that best matches the objective of your IoT application and follow the guided prompts.

For detailed instructions on how to use the templates, please refer to the Soracom Flux App Templates documentation.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Soracom Support.

You can now use OpenAI's AI models in Soracom Flux without needing to provide your own API key!

Previously, running these models required setting up an OpenAI API key. Now, you can simply use Soracom Flux credits to run AI Actions with OpenAI's AI models.

Below is the number of credits consumed per request for the newly supported OpenAI models:

Model	Credits per Request
OpenAI (GPT-4.1)	29 credits
OpenAI (GPT-4.1-mini)	6 credits
OpenAI (GPT-4.1-nano)	2 credits
OpenAI (GPT-4o)	35 credits
OpenAI (GPT-4o mini), without image	3 credits
OpenAI (GPT-4o mini), with image	60 credits

Please note that you can still use your own OpenAI API key with any of the above models.

For more information, see the Soracom Flux documentation.

We are excited to announce the official release of Soracom Query, a fully-featured IoT data analytics platform for securely collecting, storing, and analyzing IoT data. After an initial limited release in 2023, Query is now available to all customers and brings powerful new features for performing large-scale IoT data analysis, creating real-time visualizations, and even building complex queries using natural language.

Query Assistant AI

This release introduces Query Assistant AI, a built-in tool that empowers users to generate complex data analysis by simply describing the desired output in natural language. Users can write queries such as:

• "Show me a list of devices with the highest data usage from the past week"
• "Find anomalies in the data sent by my devices"

Query Assistant AI automatically converts these into SQL for reliable data analysis, allowing users to easily explore and gain valuable insights into their IoT application without needing to be familiar with database structures.

Store, Visualize, and Connect Your Data

Query works seamlessly with other Soracom services, such as Harvest for securely storing data on platform, and Lagoon for building powerful dashboards and visualizations from Query data analysis results, eliminating the need to set up, transfer, and process data using external cloud services.

For power users, Query also supports connecting its data analysis features directly to external BI tools for full control of deeper analysis.

Plans to Fit Every Use Cases

Query is available in three plans:

• Trial Plan: An introductory plan that allows you to test all of Query's features for 2 months
• Business Plan: A standard monthly subscription suitable for most deployments
• Enterprise Plan: An advanced plan that adds cross-account data analysis, database access, and custom report delivery

To learn more about Soracom Query and get started, visit the Soracom Query documentation.

We are pleased to release a new feature that allows you to assign category names to IoT device data stored in Soracom Harvest Data!

With this feature, you can set a category name for each IoT SIM group where Harvest Data is enabled. In turn, when IoT SIM devices in the group send data, that data is stored with the category name, allowing you to group data across multiple devices instead of managing each device's data separately. This makes it easier to visualize trends and run analysis across similar types of data.

These categories also work with Soracom Query, allowing you to perform more sophisticated IoT data analysis grouped or filtered by category, calculate averages, maximums, and minimums across multiple devices, and more.

For more information on configuring Harvest Data categories and Query usage, refer to the Harvest Data and Query documentation.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Soracom Support.

We are pleased to start pre-orders for two new Soracom Cloud Camera Services (SoraCam) products.
