Axis Communications is releasing its ninth-generation system-on-chip (SoC), ARTPEC-9, designed to address key challenges in security surveillance systems. With ARTPEC-9, security managers and integrators can benefit from enhanced AI-powered analytics, superior image quality, and advanced cybersecurity, while reducing storage costs thanks to the AV1 video encoding standard.
ARTPEC-9 delivers improvements in AI analytics, offering sharper accuracy and faster detection of smaller objects, which can help prevent incidents and enhance operational efficiency in various sectors, including retail. The support for AV1 helps reduce bandwidth and storage needs, making video management more cost-effective.
Axis Communications chief technology officer, Johan Paulsson said, “With ARTPEC-9, we’re focused on making network video more adaptable to the diverse needs of our customers, while improving efficiency and security. By designing our SoC in-house, we maintain full control over the production process, ensuring the quality and cybersecurity standards our customers rely on.”
ARTPEC-9 builds on Axis’ existing imaging technologies like Axis Lightfinder 2.0 and Axis Forensic WDR, enabling clear, detailed images regardless of the environment. This improvement in image quality ensures critical information is captured and can be used for accurate analysis.
Features like secure boot and signed OS ensure that each device remains protected from cyber threats. With ARTPEC-9 is developed in-house, Axis retains full control over the production process, further strengthening device security.
The ARTPEC-9 chip enhances AI analytics, allowing for better detection of objects at greater distances and faster response times. This improvement in detection accuracy can lead to earlier alerts, enabling security teams to take action before incidents escalate.
