Security solutions company i-PRO has launched its new i-PRO mini network camera, which is pocket-sized and has full AI analytics functionality.
The company says the i-PRO mini represents the next generation of smaller, discreet smart cameras that protect businesses and provide operational insights.
Although i-PRO’s latest product is exceptionally small, its powerful AI processing allows the camera to quickly process large amounts of data, executing up to three simultaneous AI analysis applications.
AI-based object detection provides enhanced surveillance and reduces false positives yielding valuable operations and marketing intelligence. The camera also supports occupancy monitoring or counting, and the AI Privacy Guard feature pixelates individual faces or the entire body.
The company says its AI-based analytics will include people detection with unique attribute extraction, such as color, outerwear or undergarments, face detection, and no-mask detection.
I-PRO says that access to the analyzes does not entail additional costs. It says edge analytics processing reduces the load on the network, and video data management can be easily handled through the i-PRO Video Management System or within other leading VMS manufacturers.
Following i-PRO’s open AI strategy, the Software Developer Kit (SDK) enables the integration of specialized third-party applications. This gives users access to many automation processes and applications, such as monitoring inventory status on product shelves.
Measuring about 10cm wide, 5cm high, and just 2cm deep, i-PRO says its latest product offers handy intelligence designed for applications where a camera with AI analytics is needed but also must be discreet.
The product is NDAA compatible, and the i-PRO mini’s 2MP 30fps sensor delivers clear and accurate images for the onboard Ambarella AI processor and sets a new standard for an AI-powered smart sensor that is nearly off in most environments. The view disappears.
Marius Van Der Merwe, Director of i-PRO APAC Oceania, says the i-PRO mini disrupts the traditional compact camera industry by combining sleek, unobtrusive design with powerful AI analytics.
“Business owners can easily use their surveillance images to unlock valuable marketing analytics and gain insight into shoppers,” he says.
“i-PRO leads the industry by providing solutions that require powerful, discrete edge computing hardware without compromising camera size, performance, and next-generation business insights.” “The new i-PRO mini illustrates our commitment to constant innovation and our mission to make AI capabilities universally available in the surveillance market as the trusted next-generation partner for the security industry.”
The introduction of the i-PRO mini is the latest addition to the fast-growing AI-enabled S-series cameras that bring high-quality resolution and accurate analytics to the edge of the mainstream market.
Earlier this year, i-PRO also committed to maintaining prices and introducing a fast delivery service to ensure product availability in the face of rapid inflation and shortages of industrial components.
