Latin America. Axis announces the arrival of the eighth generation of its own system-on-chip (SoC), designed especially for network video. The ARTPEC-8 SoC is primarily designed to offer new opportunities linked to advanced analytics applications based on deep learning at the edge.
In addition, the new SoC reinforces the spectacular features and functionality introduced with the ARTPEC-7, such as superior image quality, enhanced safety and a powerful compression system. In addition, thanks to the fact that it is an innovation of the company, it provides an essential level of control to guarantee maximum cybersecurity.
From now on, the new chip will be the foundation on which most of Axis' network video products will be developed. Some of the first cameras to incorporate it will be axis Q3536-LVE/38-LVE dome cameras and AXIS Q1656-LE box-type camera.
The new generation has main features that make it the cornerstone for the company's next innovations: analytics based on deep learning at the end which allows powerful analytics applications based on deep learning at the end, in which the cameras have the processing power to analyze data locally. It is a highly accurate and real-time object detection and classification solution that allows the development of analytical systems capable of differentiating between different objects, such as vehicle types.
Additional has superior analytical capacity and maximum image quality this strengthens the use of Axis Lightfinder 2.0 and Axis Forensic WDR, for optimal image processing in complex lighting conditions.
In the field of cybersecurity, ARTPEC-8 consolidates the cybersecurity features already introduced with ARTPEC-7, such as signed firmware and secure boot. The ARTPEC-8 supports Edge Vault technology, for the secure storage of certificates and cryptographic keys. Some cameras will also incorporate the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), for FIPS-level secure storage.
