At ISC East 2022 in booth # 918, i-PRO Co., Ltd., a pioneer in professional security solutions for surveillance and public safety, will showcase the latest enhancements to its line of products, including:

i-PRO recently revamped its the entire PTZ range, adding a total of 35 new cameras. The new cameras benefit from a new modern design in a smaller form factor that is similar in size to many dome cameras. The S-Series cameras include a powerful built-in AI processor enabling advanced automatic tracking to make operators’ lives much easier.

Advanced automatic tracking

The cameras, equipped with the highest levels of cybersecurity, can run two different Deep Learning AI applications at the edge of the network, reducing load and server infrastructure costs.

i-PRO has also added PTZ cameras to its U-Series, a cost effective, yet cyber secure range

For the first time, i-PRO has also added PTZ cameras to its U-Series, a cost effective, yet cyber secure range for the most price-sensitive installations. The new U-Series PTZ cameras are designed for projects that do not require AI functionality but still need the core benefits of i-PRO’s quality, reliability and cybersecurity.

The cameras offer customers a cost effective, easy to install, and cybersecure PTZ with leading image quality even in low lighting situations.

Low lighting situations

The latest i-PRO multi-sensor camera incorporates a built-in AI processor enabling advanced analytics to detect people and vehicles and automatically optimise images. Available with three or four imaging sensors in 4K, 6MP and 4MP resolution, the unit offers wider coverage capabilities with a larger tilt range than other multi-sensor cameras on the market, as well as IR LED lighting on select models to ensure image capture in very dark environments.

Most significantly, the new thin design makes it one of the most discreet multi-sensor cameras on the market. The ability to autonomously detect and differentiate objects in expansive imaging areas allows security personnel to focus on real events of interest, effectively improving their productivity while enhancing overall security.

Enhancing overall security

Visitors to the i-PRO booth will see how the Active Guard plug-in turns a video management system (VMS) into a powerful search engine capable of real-time searches or conducting deep forensic analysis on Video Insight, Genetec and Milestone systems.

The user interface allows operators to easily set up sophisticated search parameters based on the industry’s largest number of object attributes with classic analytic parameters. i-PRO will also showcase the latest enhancements to its Video Insight (VI) VMS featuring live maps, enhanced Vaxtor LPR integration supporting vehicle make, model, and colour (MMC), live streaming from body-worn cameras, and third-party integrations.

Monitoring multiple cameras

i-PRO’s Live Maps is a new camera and facility site map navigation tool that allows users to find cameras

For users responsible for monitoring cameras across multiple buildings, the latest version of VI now includes a dynamic Live Maps feature that vastly improves situational awareness for security officers. Security officers responsible for monitoring multiple cameras at multiple facilities need an easy way to navigate to important cameras in the system.

When camera names are not clearly identified, it can be a daunting task for anyone not completely familiar with the system. i-PRO’s Live Maps is a new camera and facility site map navigation tool that allows users to find cameras based on geographical location.

With a pocket-sized form factor and full complement of AI analytics functionality, the new i-PRO mini represents the next generation of smaller, discreet smart cameras that not only protect retail and other businesses, but also provide operational and business insights.

Delivering valuable operations

Although the i-PRO mini is exceptionally small, powerful AI processing on the edge enables the camera to quickly process large amounts of data, running up to three simultaneous AI analytic applications. AI-based object detection provides enhanced surveillance and reduces false positives while also delivering valuable operations and marketing intelligence.

The cameras free AI-based analytics now include people and vehicle detection with unique attribute extraction such as colour, upper/lower garment, face detection, and non-mask detection. The camera also supports occupancy monitoring/counting, and a privacy guard feature that pixelates individual faces or the entire body to maintain GDPR compliance.

Maintain GDPR compliance

On Thursday, November 17th, 2022, from 2:00 PM - 02:45 PM, Will Knehr, Senior Manager of Information Assurance and Data Privacy, i-PRO Americas, Inc. will lead a session that will explore what zero trust is, why the DoD and other organisations embrace the Zero Trust model, and how it can be applied to IIoT devices.

This topic will put a new spin on an old discussion – how can IIoT devices be deployed safely and securely? How can users embrace the future of security in the industry?
