New wireless Grade 2 shock sensor is launched
Pyronix has announced the release of its compact Grade 2 wireless shock sensor, the NanoShock (NANO/SHOCK-WE).
Fitted out of sight within uPVC window or door frames, or surface mounted with its low profile and pleasing design, the NanoShock has been designed to deliver easy professional installation and reliable protection.
The NanoShock is an accelerometer device that detects impacts caused by potential intruders as they attempt to break into any residential or smallcommercial property.
Installed without having to worry about the positioning of any detection chamber or requiring further adjustments, the device is positioned where required and as soon as the sensitivity is set, it auto-orientates. Once placed, calibration is also simple with the pinhole button on the front with LED indication. Using the included pin needle calibration tool, all the installer has to do is hold the button and cycle through five increments to the required sensitivity using the LEDs to guide them, with one being the least sensitive and five the most sensitive.
With this installation process there’s no need to open the device to configure the PCB, which is encased in the front of the sensor along with the batteries. This setup makes maintenance very straightforward too; replacing its batteries without having to unscrew anything. pyronix.com/uk

Mini network camera with AI processing at the edge
i-PRO has launched its new mini network camera featuring a pocket-sized form factor and full complement of AI analytics functionality. AI processing on the edge enables the camera to quickly process data, running up to three simultaneous AI analytic applications. Free AI-based analytics include people 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 the AI Privacy Guard feature that pixelates individual faces or the entire body to maintain GDPR compliance.
At roughly 10cm wide, 5cm high and 2cm deep, the i-PRO mini suits applications where a camera with AI analytics is needed but should not stand out in an otherwise sleek and clean environmental design. NDAA compliant, the i-PRO mini’s 2MP 30fps sensor provides images for the onboard Ambarella AI processor. i-pro.com/eu/en
