2. Return & Refund Policy
A. Return Window
-
Standard: You may request a return within 31 days of receiving your order.

Deductions apply if:

Signs of Use: Visible scratches, mounting marks on screw holes, or fingerprints.

Seeed Studio SenseCAP Watcher W1 Clear Enclosure Physical AI Agent
Seeed Studio SenseCAP Watcher W1 Clear Enclosure is designed for the SenseCAP Watcher W1, providing a transparent protective housing that maintains full visibility of the device’s camera, display, and indicators. Built for durability and seamless integration, the SenseCAP Watcher W1 Clear Enclosure ensures stable operation while preserving all AI‑powered sensing, voice interaction, and environmental perception capabilities of the Watcher W1.
Features
Clear Protection for SenseCAP Watcher W1
The SenseCAP Watcher W1 Clear Enclosure protects the device while keeping the camera, microphone, speaker, and display fully visible. The transparent design ensures that all AI vision, voice interaction, and event‑triggering functions of the SenseCAP Watcher W1 remain unaffected.
Feature 1: Voice Command Compatibility
The enclosure maintains full access to the Watcher’s voice interaction system. Users can speak commands directly, and the SenseCAP Watcher W1 continues to detect events and send notifications as usual.
Feature 2: Clear View for AI Vision
The transparent enclosure ensures the camera maintains an unobstructed view, enabling the SenseCAP Watcher W1 to detect people, pets, objects, and behaviors using on‑device AI and LLM‑enhanced analysis.
Feature 3: Supports Voice Responses
The enclosure does not block the speaker, allowing the SenseCAP Watcher W1 to respond with voice prompts, warnings, or custom messages triggered by detected events.
Feature 4: Compatible with Home Assistant, Node‑RED, and Hardware Systems
All connectivity options remain accessible. The SenseCAP Watcher W1 Clear Enclosure supports integrations such as Home Assistant, Node‑RED, and hardware systems via UART, USB, or HTTP.
Feature 5: Fully Visible Display & Custom Emotions
The clear enclosure keeps the Watcher’s display unobstructed, allowing all default and custom emotion animations to be shown clearly.
Feature 6: Supports Open‑Source & On‑Premise Deployment
The enclosure does not interfere with the Watcher’s ability to run SenseCraft locally or operate in open‑source configurations. All ports and interfaces remain accessible for development and deployment.
You can deploy SenseCraft on your spare computers. However, if you aim for applications requiring commercial-grade reliability and low-power consumption, the combination of SenseCAP Watchter + NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Orin™ is perfect for you!
Compared to consumer-grade graphics cards (e.g. RTX 4090) for AI tasks, NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Orin™ stands out with key advantages:
- Industrial-grade reliability: Designed for industrial and commercial applications, Jetson AGX series boasts a longer MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures). Engineered for 24/7 operation, it offers superior reliability for round-the-clock applications compared to consumer graphics cards.
- Compact and low power: With embedded and edge computing applications in mind, Jetson AGX series are designed in a smaller form factor and consume 3+ times less power, compared to consumer graphics cards. Suitable for constrained spaces, Jetson AGX series generates less heat and helps reduce overall operating costs. This is crucial for embedded systems.

Important Notice:
- Inventory Status: Please check the inventory status on the product page. Our system displays real-time stock for our Munich and Long Beach warehouses. If an item is out of stock in these locations, it will be marked as "Pre-order". You can still place an order for these items.
- Pre-order Fulfillment: For "Pre-order" items, we arrange the most efficient logistics solution to ensure you receive your goods as quickly as possible. Your package may be shipped directly from our Shenzhen warehouse. Alternatively, as part of our standard restocking process, we may transport the goods to our Munich or Long Beach warehouse first (typically taking 5-10 business days) before dispatching them to you.
- Split Shipments: If your order contains both in-stock and Pre-order items, we will prioritize shipping the in-stock items from the local warehouse immediately. The remaining Pre-order items will be sent to you in a separate shipment once they are ready.
3. International Warehouse
Our products are stored in our Munich, Long Beach, and Shenzhen warehouses to provide more flexible logistics solutions tailored to different regions and customer needs. On each product's description page, we indicate the specific warehouse location to help you better plan your purchase and delivery schedule.
3.1 German Warehouse
For products stored in our warehouse in Munich, we use either Deutsche Post or DHL for shipping, depending on the size of the package. Logistics within Germany are very efficient, with an estimated delivery time of 2-4 business days, ensuring you receive your order quickly and conveniently. For Western EU countries, the estimated delivery time is 4-6 business days. For Eastern EU countries, the estimated delivery time is 6-8 business days.
3.2 US Warehouse
For products stored in our warehouse in Long Beach, we use either USPS or UPS for shipping, depending on the size of the package. Logistics within U.S. are very efficient, with an estimated delivery time of 3-7 business days, ensuring you receive your order quickly and conveniently.
3.3 Chinese Warehouse
For Pre-order items or orders fulfilled directly from our Shenzhen warehouse, we utilize YunExpress for reliable international shipping. Given the complexities of international shipping, the estimated delivery time for these packages is around 10 business days, though this may vary slightly due to customs processes or other uncontrollable factors. Otherwise, products will be restocked to our Munich or US warehouses before final delivery, as detailed in the "Important Notice" above.
4. Customs and Taxes
4.1 How are customs handled by OpenELAB for import or export?
For EU Member States: Whether shipped from Germany or China, we cover all import duties and taxes (DDP), ensuring that you receive your package without any additional costs or hassle with customs.
For countries outside of the European Union, such as Switzerland and Norway, you may be subject to import duties, taxes, and/or customs fees charged upon delivery. These fees vary from country to country and are the sole responsibility of the recipient.
⚠️ Refusal of Delivery: If you refuse to pay these fees upon delivery and the package is returned to us, the refund amount will be calculated after deducting the original shipping costs, return shipping costs, and any applicable customs or storage fees.
4.2 How is VAT charged when the Customer places an order from OpenELAB?
In accordance with the newest VAT e-commerce rules in the EU, OpenELAB shall have the right to charge the amount of VAT at checkout. The standard rate of actual VAT applied is subject to the destination country's regulations. No additional VAT will be charged upon delivery for these orders.
