Wire-free HD PIR camera for video verification over 4G
Luminite has announced the launch of the HD OCULi wireless PIR camera, a wire free PIR detector with 5megapixel camera and IRcut filter, which provides visual verification of captured events using the 4G mobile network. When used with a solar kit, the OCULi HD model allows users to request live streaming, ask for more footage and manually arm and disarm the unit. A horn speaker kit is also available to provide voice or audio challenge. OCULi HD can be telephoned to enable a two-way voice call or, when triggered, it can automatically play a prerecorded message or alarm sound. The standalone OCULi HD will only send notifications when it has a detection event, eliminating the need for constant monitoring.

360° cameras now boast embedded AI capabilities
i-PRO has announced that AI-capabilities are to be embedded into its S-Series range.
The new cameras are the first in the S-Series to run up to three deep learning applications which, says the company, turns the security camera into an intelligent device suitable for business usage and insights. The cameras can run applications from i-PRO’s Analytic Software package for Business Intelligence, which comes pre-installed, alongside other apps like Privacy Guard and third party applications created using the open
Software Development Kit. The package includes freeof-charge AI-based analytics that can be used for motion detection, heat mapping, counting people and vehicles, and recognising congestion, for example when shoppers are queuing in store. Using the AI capabilities with 360° images up to the edge of the frame makes the real time analytics more effective and accurate, says i-PRO.
