What is an IP KVM?
KVM is keyboard, video, mouse. An IP KVM gives you all three over the network: it plugs into a machine the way a monitor and a keyboard do, so that machine needs nothing installed and does not even need to be working.

The same software runs on a Raspberry Pi 4B you may already own. Add a USB capture card and you have a working IP KVM — no payment, no account, nothing to return.
The picture is worse and it caps at 30 fps. Everything else is the same software we ship.

Who we are
Beacon KVM is built by Biyang Cloud (Shenzhen) Network Technology Co., Ltd., a network company in Shenzhen, China. We build SD-WAN software and SD-WAN routers for enterprise customers in China. Beacon KVM is our first product for customers outside it, and it runs on that same hardware — the board inside a Beacon KVM is our SD-WAN CPE, which is why it has four Ethernet ports where most IP KVMs have one.
What we are building it for is remote presence: being needed somewhere you are not. A machine stops booting at two in the morning and the fix takes thirty seconds — once someone can see the screen. Beacon KVM is that someone.
