i-PRO introduces high zoom bullet camera for long-range coverage

Equipped with powerful zoom and infrared LED technologies, the new cameras offer “unrivalled precision” for long-distance monitoring across various environments, such as highways, parking areas, bridges, ports and stadiums.

The new line-up includes 10x and 30x zoom options, themselves complemented by long-range (ie up to 250 metres) infrared LED capabilities for optimal performance in low-light or night-time conditions.

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

Superior performance

“The high zoom bullet camera’s superior performance, combined with AI-powered analytics and an industry-leading 200-metre infrared distance, sets a new standard for long-range security monitoring in mission-critical environments, including city surveillance projects, critical infrastructure protection and transportation hub security,” explained Gerard Figols, chief product officer at i-PRO.

Featured within the X-Series models, the powerful Ambarella CV52 SoC includes nine pre-installed edge applications, enabling 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 allow the addition of AI analytics to non-AI network cameras, including cameras from other manufacturers. Each X-Series camera 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.

When paired with the award-winning i-PRO Active Guard intelligent search application, a wealth of metadata describing the unique attributes of humans and vehicles is seamlessly delivered to popular Video Management Systems like Milestone, Genetec and Video Insight. This not only allows deep forensic search from edge-based AI analytics, but also enables real-time proactive monitoring of important events that require immediate attention.

Vehicle recognition

Four licence plate recognition-optimised models are available for capturing number plates at high speeds (up to 130 km/h) during the day or night. An advanced Long Wavelength Pass Filter enhances licence 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 licence plate software is bundled with the camera and licensed separately. “It’s the first time we are launching a third party application bundled with our powerful edge computing cameras,” added Figols. “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 and benefits
