Four steps to a bench that counts.
You need a Mac, an iPhone or any webcam, a matte mat and some tape. Nothing here records or uploads video; the camera test runs in this browser tab.
Step 1: Connect your store
The store connection is the seeded fixture for Brindlewood Camera Co.. There is no real store integration yet.

Step 2: Mount the camera
Use an iPhone as the Mac's webcam through Continuity Camera. Point the rear camera straight down, 60–80 cm above a matte mat, so the whole mat is in frame and nothing glares.
Turn OFF Center Stage, Portrait, Studio Light and Desk View in Control Centre → Video Effects. They crop and reframe the picture and would move the zones.
Then test it. Pick the iPhone from the list; the list shows whatever cameras your browser can see.
Line the tape up with the two frames. The preview stays in this browser tab; it is not recorded or uploaded.
Step 3: Mark the zones with tape
Put tape on the mat so the camera sees two zones: BOX on the left, about 45% of the width, and TRAY on the right, about 45%, with a 10% gap between them.
Items come out of the box on the left and are put down in the tray on the right. An item counts when it settles in the tray, not when a hand passes over it.
Step 4: Choose what routes to the bench
The merchant decides which returns go to the bench. Clean, low-value returns skip it. Examples of rules you might choose:
- kits over $150
- serialised items
In the demo, both seeded returns (RMA-20418 and RMA-20419 and RMA-20420) are already routed to the bench.
Open the bench and unbox one item at a time.
The Instant Demo plays a recorded result and does not make a live Meta call.
