Edge AI Technology

i-PRO cameras integrate a dedicated AI engine directly on the device, enabling image processing and object analysis to be performed at the source instead of sending all data back to a central server.

For example, when a person or vehicle is detected, the camera automatically optimizes image parameters (gain, shutter speed, compression) to capture clearer footage of the subject of interest.

Result: reduced bandwidth consumption and server workload, while increasing response speed and lowering latency.

Common AI algorithms include:

AI Video Motion Detection (AI-VMD)

Differentiates motion between people, cars, motorcycles, and bicycles while ignoring irrelevant movements such as rain, shadows, or insects.
In practice, AI-VMD can reduce up to 90% of false alarms compared to conventional cameras.

Person / Vehicle / Face Detection

Analyzes video frames to automatically identify whether a person, vehicle, or face is present.
When integrated with VMS software supporting Active Guard, users can quickly search recordings using metadata related to detected people or vehicles.

Behavior Analysis

Supports people or vehicle counting, crowd detection, abandoned or removed object detection, and heat map analysis to identify areas with high activity.

Abnormal Sound Detection

Classifies sounds such as gunshots, screams, glass breaking, or car horns to provide early alerts for potential incidents.

AI Privacy Guard

Automatically masks faces or entire human bodies in real time to protect privacy in public environments.

AI On-site Learning

Users can train the camera to recognize new objects directly on-site with only a few operations.
This improves detection accuracy and reduces false alarms (for example, training the system to detect a specific type of vehicle).

Benefits

Edge AI technology enables cameras to process data closer to the source, reducing the load on central systems and accelerating analysis speed.

As a result, surveillance systems become more intelligent and proactive. For example, alarms are triggered only when an actual person or vehicle is detected (reducing false alarms by up to 90%), or the camera can automatically adjust zoom and viewing angles to track moving objects.

In real-world applications, AI features such as people counting, license plate recognition, and intrusion detection help improve business efficiency (customer flow analysis in retail stores) and enhance security (risk alerts in parking lots or industrial facilities).

Open Platform and Flexible Integration (Open Platform)

Unlike many closed surveillance systems, i-PRO does not lock users into a proprietary software ecosystem.

All i-PRO cameras support free SDK and API access, allowing partners and users to develop and install customized AI applications directly on the camera.

Specifically, the i-PRO Camera Application Platform provides a free Software Development Kit (SDK) that supports the development of specialized applications such as object classification and behavioral analysis.

Custom applications can be installed directly on the camera as plugins, running on the built-in AI processor to support specific operational scenarios.

Additionally, i-PRO collaborates with many partners to provide ready-to-use AI applications such as:

• AI-VMD
• AI Face Matching
• Active Guard

This allows system capabilities to be expanded quickly.

Key advantage: organizations are not limited to a fixed feature set and can integrate new technologies easily without replacing camera hardware.

System Compatibility

i-PRO cameras provide high compatibility with major VMS platforms such as Genetec, Milestone, and VideoInsight, thanks to compliance with ONVIF standards and open APIs.

Cyber Security

Data protection and defense against cyber threats are key priorities for i-PRO.

All i-PRO cameras incorporate advanced hardware and software security mechanisms, including:

Pre-installed Digital Certificate (GlobalSign®)

i-PRO is the first manufacturer to install a GlobalSign digital certificate on cameras before shipment.
Data transmitted between the camera and server is encrypted using SSL with a pre-signed key, preventing interception or spoofing.

Secure Element – FIPS 140-2 Level 3

New-generation cameras integrate a hardware security module compliant with FIPS 140-2 Level 3, a U.S. government security standard.

This module generates and stores encryption keys and ensures secure authentication of firmware, protecting against device tampering and data breaches.

Secure Boot

The device only boots using digitally signed firmware, preventing unauthorized or malicious software from being installed.

Intrusion Detection

Some camera models generate alerts when abnormal network traffic or suspicious activity is detected.

NDAA Compliance

i-PRO cameras contain no components listed in the U.S. NDAA blacklist, enabling deployment in government or defense projects without regulatory concerns.

Thanks to these security features, i-PRO cameras are suitable for sensitive environments such as banking, energy infrastructure, and smart city systems.

Product Reliability

Building on Panasonic’s engineering heritage, i-PRO cameras are designed for durability in harsh environments.

IK10 Impact Resistance

All outdoor i-PRO cameras meet IK10 impact resistance standards, ensuring they can withstand strong physical impacts such as stones or hammer strikes.

IP66 / IP67 Weather Protection

Most models feature sealed housings rated IP66 or IP67, ensuring reliable operation in heavy rain and dusty environments.

Some models also include a ClearSight coating that repels rainwater from the dome cover to maintain clear image quality.

Corrosion Resistance

Certain salt-resistant models feature special anti-corrosion coatings designed for coastal areas or chemical environments such as petrochemical plants.

Wide Temperature Range

Outdoor i-PRO cameras operate within a wide temperature range from –50°C to +55°C (some models down to –60°C), with integrated cooling fans and heating systems designed for 45,000 hours of continuous operation.

Practical Benefits

High durability reduces maintenance and replacement costs.

KPS recommends salt-resistant i-PRO camera models for ports and industrial facilities to prevent early corrosion.

In many smart city deployments such as parks and bus stations, i-PRO cameras have proven to operate reliably even under severe weather conditions.

Reduced Bandwidth

i-PRO cameras integrate Smart Coding technology combined with modern compression standards such as H.265 / H.265+ to reduce bandwidth usage and storage requirements.

ROI (Region of Interest)

The camera identifies important areas containing people or vehicles and maintains higher image quality in those regions, while reducing bitrate in less important background areas.

For example, Smart VIQS allocates more bits to areas where people are detected and very few bits to static backgrounds such as walls or empty corridors.

Testing shows that this technology can reduce bandwidth by 50–75% compared with standard H.264 compression while preserving key image details.

GOP Control

The Group of Pictures (GOP) length is dynamically adjusted according to scene activity.

When motion is detected, the camera shortens the GOP length (increasing I-frame frequency).
When the scene is static, the GOP length is extended to reduce bitrate usage.

AI Smart Coding

The built-in AI processor analyzes video content and adjusts compression parameters in real time, optimizing encoding efficiency compared with static compression methods.

This significantly reduces bandwidth consumption and storage requirements without affecting the quality of important video segments.

Ease of Installation

i-PRO cameras are designed for easy installation and configuration in real-world environments.

Quick Installation Structure

Many models include hooking structures and temporary holding mechanisms, allowing technicians to mount and secure the camera easily even when working alone.

Compact Design

Certain U-series cameras feature compact and lightweight designs, making them suitable for installation in tight spaces such as ceiling corners without requiring large mounting brackets.

Easy Kitting

i-PRO provides configuration kits that allow cameras to be pre-configured over the network before installation.

Once installed, the camera only needs to be powered on to operate according to the predefined configuration.

Configuration Tools

The i-PRO Configuration Tool allows centralized configuration and firmware updates for multiple cameras simultaneously.

Additionally, the System Design Tool (web-based) enables engineers to simulate surveillance coverage during the design phase.

These tools can reduce installation time by 30–40% compared with conventional camera systems.
