Enhanced Analytics Designed for Flexible and Cost-Efficient Deployment
IDIS has released its new Edge AI Plus camera series, which offers options for users seeking to enhance their video surveillance systems with artificial intelligence-based features, including new automated detection capabilities.
The series, developed by South Korea’s largest domestic video technology manufacturer, includes a range of tools intended to support real-time surveillance and the search and playback of recorded footage. The hardware lineup consists of outdoor-rated, vandal-resistant 8-megapixel dome cameras (DC-D6831WRA) and bullet cameras (DC-T6831WRA). A pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) model is planned for release later this summer.
The Edge AI Plus range integrates the upgraded IDIS analytics engine, IDLA Pro, which is designed to improve operational efficiency for security teams managing high workloads. The system offers on-device (edge-based) analytics and includes five primary detection features: crowd detection, identification of abandoned or removed objects, fall detection, and recognition of violent behavior. These functions are intended to support more proactive responses to incidents across a range of environments.
The cameras are built to provide high-definition surveillance and threat detection performance in both standard and challenging lighting conditions. This is made possible through the use of infrared (IR) illumination, wide dynamic range (WDR), and a larger image sensor (1/1.8”). The series also includes a feature known as A-Cut, which supports faster and more precise attribute-based searches. This function incorporates automatic image cropping, metadata-based filtering, and a user interface designed for efficient operation.
Attribute recognition functions include analysis of a person’s gender and estimated age, and detection of visual features such as glasses, hats, masks, and accessories like bags. The system also classifies different types of vehicles—such as sedans, trucks, buses, and motorcycles—and their respective colors.
The analytic functions are powered by the internally developed IDIS Deep Learning Engine, which is intended to deliver a high level of detection accuracy. The series uses IDIS’s DirectIP® technology, which is designed to streamline installation and system integration. Features include plug-and-play setup, single-click configuration for centralized monitoring, and no additional per-channel fees.
The system architecture incorporates proprietary, multi-layered cybersecurity protocols. These include mutual device authentication, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and encryption of video capture, storage, and transmission. According to IDIS, these features contribute to a reduced total cost of ownership (TCO), with no licensing fees, minimal maintenance requirements, and extended warranty support.
Jun-Jyung Sung, Head of the Product Planning Team at IDIS, stated that the Edge AI Plus camera range was developed to support surveillance operations that require both intuitive usability and efficient, proactive monitoring. According to Sung, the system is intended to improve site security and reduce operational risk through targeted deployment of analytics tools at critical locations.
