i-PRO has announced its new AI-enabled Corner Camera, which is IK11 compliant and can withstand a 70 Joule (70J) impact.
The camera was built in Japan for the rigours of correctional facilities and the new compact and robust stainless steel camera represents the smallest form factor. 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. “With its IK11+ 70J rating, it is clearly the most shock-resistant corner mount surveillance camera in the industry today.”
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 meters 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.
The i-PRO Corner Camera measures just 197x139x126 mm (7.76×5.47×4.96 inches) and with a range of 132 dB, i-PRO insists that images remain clear in a variety of lighting conditions.
“The engineers at i-PRO have done it again. When you factor in the additional license-free AI applications, it’s truly an industry-leading camera,” said 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 prisoner 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 yelling, 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.
