The deep learning HD cameras turn reactive monitoring into proactive action-based solutions.

Cerritos, CA (July 26, 2023) – Digital Watchdog® (DW), the industry leader in digital recorders, surveillance cameras, system peripherals and related management software, announces the launch of our new MEGApix Ai 4K vandal dome and bullet IP cameras. License-free intelligent video analytics rapidly analyze raw video footage before compression, reducing the burden on the network and demand for remote storage. MEGApix Ai makes it easy to define customizable detection zones and event-based alarms, reducing false alarms and increasing overall system efficiency.

"By processing advanced analytics at the edge, MEGApix Ai cameras deliver robust performance while reducing stress on the network and server," said Mark Espenschied, Director of Marketing, DW. "Deep learning increases ROI by allowing users to refine their systems to record and alert when triggered, reducing the bandwidth and storage needed to capture actionable video."

These NDAA-compliant IP cameras provide 4K resolution at real-time 30fps with an edge-based Ai engine onboard. MEGApix Ai cameras place the power of Ai deep learning at your fingertips, with object detection and tracking. The cameras feature Star-Light Plus™ color in near-total darkness technology and true WDR for quality video in any lighting condition. The cameras are equipped with a 2.7~13.5mm P-Iris vari-focal lens with remote auto focus and zoom control, simplifying installation and use to deliver video that is always in focus. The weather-resistant IP67-rated, IK-10 impact-resistant housing makes these cameras suitable for extreme environments. The bullet model (DWC-XSBA08Mi) will Cold Start at -40° F/-40° C. The vandal dome housing (DWC-XSDE08Mi) features CleanView™ self-cleaning dome treatment to repeal water and grime. All MEGApix cameras are ONVIF conformant, assuring their successful integration with any open platform solution on the market.
