The MEGApix® Ai™ CaaS™ (Camera as a System) edge-based AI cameras have DW Spectrum® IPVMS and local storage onboard for a serverless solution.

Cerritos, CA (July 29, 2024) – Digital Watchdog® (DW), the industry leader in digital recorders, surveillance cameras, system peripherals and related management software, announces the launch of MEGApix Ai CaaS IP cameras with a 4K bullet and 5MP turret with white light LEDs. CaaS is an acronym for “Camera as a System.” The all-in-one cameras operate as edge recorders and are preloaded with DW Spectrum IPVMS and an edge-AI Deep Learning (DL) engine, including object detection and tracking, significantly reducing false alarms, conserving recording storage and enabling a more efficient monitoring solution.

"DW pioneered serverless, all-in-one cameras, and they have grown in popularity over the past decade, making it easy to apply the power of DW Spectrum IPVMS to small and multi-site applications," said Mark Espenschied, Director of Marketing, DW. “The addition of AI to these cameras makes them even more dynamic solutions by helping to manage system resources and expanding the label of all-in-one cameras.”

These NDAA/TAA-compliant MEGApix Ai CaaS all-in-one IP cameras provide real-time 30fps video with an Ai edge engine onboard. MEGApix Ai cameras place the power of AI deep learning at your fingertips, with object detection and people tracking. The serverless CaaS plugin brings the ease and power of the DW Spectrum® IPVMS server pre-installed and licensed on the camera. No additional server hardware is required. The cameras feature Star-Light Plus™ color in near-total darkness technology and true WDR for quality video in any lighting condition. All MEGApix cameras are ONVIF conformant, assuring their successful integration with any open platform solution on the market.
