i-PRO Co., Ltd., a global pioneer in professional security solutions for surveillance and public safety, announced its new AI-enabled Corner Camera. Built-in Japan for the rigours of high-security facilities, this exceptionally compact and robust stainless steel camera represents the smallest form factor, which is IK11 compliant. Its ability to withstand a 70 Joule (70J) impact far exceeds the common IK10 (20J) impact ratings of similar devices.
"The i-PRO Corner Camera represents a new standard for high-security environments, providing unmatched reliability and advanced AI-powered analytics all within the most compact form factor," said Gerard Figols, Chief Product Officer at i-PRO, adding "With its IK11+ 70J rating, it is clearly the most shock-resistant corner mount surveillance camera in the industry today."
i-PRO Corner Camera
The sensor provides a ±5° yaw adjustment and a ±5° tilt to further conform to installation requirements
The camera’s wide-angle view (131° horizontal, 95° vertical) limits blind spots, providing full room coverage. The sensor provides a ±5° yaw adjustment and a ±5° tilt to further conform to installation requirements.
An invisible IR-LED illuminates up to 15 metres using a 940nm wavelength. While the stainless steel body exceeds an equivalent IK11+ impact rating, any attempt to tamper with the camera, from impacts to opening the case, instantly sends an alarm to operators.
With a dynamic range of 132 dB
The i-PRO Corner Camera measures just 197x139x126 mm (7.76x5.47x4.96 inches). With a dynamic range of 132 dB, images remain clear in a variety of lighting conditions. "The engineers at i-PRO have done it again. When you factor in the additional licence-free AI applications, it’s truly an industry-renowned camera," said Gerard Figols.
The camera’s all-important anti-ligature design prevents self-harm incidents, while minimising any attempt to remove the camera by force.
Powerful AI-assisted edge analytics
The corner camera supports up to three free i-PRO AI applications simultaneously, such as AI Video Motion Detection, Privacy Guard, and People Detection.
To protect privacy, i-PRO’s AI Privacy Guard feature can automatically blur faces or entire bodies, creating a redacted stream. A built-in microphone facilitates AI-based sound detection of loud noise, screaming, glass breaks, and more.
Cybersecurity
For enhanced cybersecurity, the vandal-proof camera includes a secure boot feature and complies with the FIPS 140-2 level 3 standard. The new corner camera is expected to be available in September 2024 from i-PRO’s extensive global network of resellers.
