Frequently Asked Questions for B2B Buyers

What is the typical Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for OEM/ODM customization?

Our MOQ is highly flexible and structured around the customization tier your project requires. We offer four tailored levels of OEM/ODM service:

  • Simple Customization: Logo printing on camera body, custom machine stickers, and basic packaging adjustments. Lowest MOQ — ideal for brand launches and small-batch market testing.
  • Light Customization: Customized color box, branded user manual, boot logo, and default language/date format settings. Moderate MOQ — suitable for established brands expanding into new regions.
  • Moderate Customization: White-label app, firmware modification (custom server/API config, UI language, regional 4G bands), and hardware ID changes. Higher MOQ — requires dedicated engineering evaluation.
  • Deep Customization: Industrial structural redesign, new housing mold development, and full PCB/hardware modification. Highest MOQ — treated as a joint development project.
💡 Need an exact quote for your project? MOQ varies based on current production capacity, component availability, and your specific technical configuration. For a precise quotation tailored to your target quantity, please contact our sales manager with your customization requirements.
850nm vs 940nm IR LEDs: Which option fits my target market?

Select 850nm if your buyers prioritize maximum night illumination distance (e.g., open agricultural monitoring). Select 940nm invisible IR for security, anti-theft, or sensitive wildlife research where no red glow can be visible.

Do Willfine cellular cameras support custom server and API integrations?

Yes. We provide complete RESTful APIs and SDK documentation, enabling our 4G/5G cameras to transmit image, video payloads, and battery health telemetry directly to your enterprise cloud or server.
