i-PRO Co. Ltd. announced it will introduce its first security cameras featuring generative artificial intelligence running fully at the edge. The launch of the X-series fisheye cameras marks a shift from post-event forensic analysis to real-time, on-camera operations.
The new hardware utilizes a generative AI engine that allows operators to interact with live video using natural language. Instead of setting rigid rules or selecting from predefined attribute lists, users can type descriptions such as "person lying down" or "delivery truck." The camera then monitors the environment for those specific conditions and triggers proactive alerts.
By processing data at the edge—directly on the device—the system eliminates the need for external servers or cloud-based analytics. This architecture is designed to reduce latency and infrastructure complexity while keeping sensitive video data local to ensure privacy and data sovereignty.
"By embedding generative AI directly into the cameras, i-PRO simplifies operators’ work by delivering real-time insights," said Gerard Figols, chief operating officer at i-PRO.
The X-series features a 12.5-megapixel sensor providing 360-degree coverage. The cameras include AI-driven noise reduction to improve image clarity in low-light environments and integrated infrared illumination for operation in total darkness.
The cameras are built on an open architecture supporting Docker containers, allowing for the deployment of custom applications. For high-security environments, the devices are FIPS 140-3 Level 3 compliant and feature secure boot and signed firmware.
Outdoor models are rated IK11 and IP69 for protection against vandalism and harsh weather. The X-series is expected to be available globally starting in June.
