i-PRO announces launch of latest High Zoom Bullet Camera

i-PRO has announced its new line of High Zoom Bullet cameras designed to deliver long-range coverage with advanced edge AI capabilities.

The bullet cameras are equipped with powerful zoom and infrared (IR) LED technologies, which offers precision for long-distance monitoring across multiple environments, such as:

• Motorways
• Car parks
• Bridges
• Ports
• Stadiums

The latest line-up

The new line-up includes 10x and 30x zoom options that also feature a long-range of up to 250m/820ft of IR LED capabilities for optimal performance in low-light or night-time conditions.

Available in 2MP, 5MP and 4K resolutions, the range offers 20 new models across the X- and S-series.

“Sets a new standard”

Gerard Figols, Chief Product Officer, i-PRO commented: “The High Zoom Bullet camera’s superior performance, combined with AI-powered analytics and an industry-leading 200-meter IR distance, sets a new standard for long-range security monitoring in mission-critical environments including city surveillance, critical infrastructure and transportation hubs.”

AI object detection

The Ambarella CV52 SoC incorporates nine pre-installed edge applications on the X-series cameras which will enable enhanced object detection, AI on-site learning and smarter incident detection in all conditions.

With its open AI development platform for third parties, i-PRO provides the flexibility to tailor the system to meet specific operational needs.

X-series models also include the unique ability to add AI analytics to non-AI network cameras, including cameras from other manufacturers.

The X-series cameras can collect AI metadata from up to three additional non-AI camera streams, giving advanced situational awareness to legacy cameras in potentially difficult-to-reach areas.

Active Guard

When the cameras are paired with the i-PRO Active Guard intelligent search application it provides metadata that describes the unique attributes of humans and vehicles, which is seamlessly delivered to recognisable video management systems (VMS) like Milestone, Genetec, Video Insight and others.

This not allows for a deep forensic search from edge-based AI analytics and also enables real-time proactive monitoring of important events that require urgent attention.

LPR-optimised models

Four LPR-optimised models are available for capturing license plates at high speeds of up to 130 km/h during the day or night.

An advanced Long Wavelength Pass Filter (LPF) enhances plate capture in various lighting conditions, such as reducing glare from vehicle headlights at night, ensuring high accuracy even in challenging lighting conditions.

Vaxtor’s LPR software is bundled with the camera and licensed separately.

“Unparalleled value”

Chief Product Officer, Gerard Figols later stated: “It’s the first time we are launching a third-party application bundled with our powerful edge computing cameras.”

He added: “The native integration of Vaxtor with i-PRO Active Guard demonstrates how our hardware and third-party software partners bring unparalleled value to mission-critical applications like city surveillance and traffic monitoring.”

Additional features

• Cybersecurity – NDAA and TAA compliant, the line-up is FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified and features secure boot (X-series) and GlobalSign digital certificates for robust cybersecurity

• Gyro-based stabilisation – The integrated gyro sensor improves image stability during long-range zoom operations by reducing vibration and ensuring sharp images even in challenging conditions
  
• Easy installation – Installation is simplified with a ball-joint mechanism for flexible angle adjustment and a temporary holding structure. The camera’s sunshade design reduces the impact of external light and rain, further ensuring optimal image quality
