Next Generation IR Technology

DW’s new dome design places the IR LEDs separately from the lens and dome. The result is a clear B/W image in any lighting and weather conditions, with no IR reflection on the dome or IR hotspots.

Ultra Low-Profile Vandal Dome Camera

The DWC-XSDH hardware packs all the power and capabilities of DW’s Ai™ into a small, discrete vandal housing. The camera, small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, is a great addition to any application that requires maximum surveillance power in a discreet installation.

Easy setup (no manual analytics calibration)

DW’s Ai allows operators to choose what to detect and where; with a user-friendly and straightforward UI, users can set up multiple scenarios specific to their monitoring needs without complex calibration.

Object Classification

DW's Ai software processes video streams to detect and classify every object appearing in the detection zone. Our Deep Learning engines perform object detection (DL Object tracker), automatically classifying the objects in the scene: people, cyclists, cars, buses and vans, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles and bags.

Optimized Ai for the edge

MEGApix Ai's analytics engine is especially designed for the edge, working on the camera side to substantially reduce bandwidth consumption and accelerate response times.

Ambarella CV22 and CV25 chips with CVflow®

Ambarella’s CV22 and CV25 chips combine image processing, real-time 30fps 4K and 5MP video encoding and CVflow® architecture to provide the deep neural network (DNN) processing required for the next generation of intelligent IP cameras.

Deep Learning

DW’s Ai intelligent algorithms offer deep learning with better object detection and identification of environmental elements. The result is a substantial reduction in false alarms for control room operators and security personnel. Allowing only valid events to filter through increases efficiency and productivity, and reduces unnecessary costs.

Reduce false alarms

DW’s Ai accurately categorizes moving objects and people, distinguishing them from environmental items such as spiders, shaking shadows and moving lights. The result is a reduction in false alarm rates, saving storage and enabling more efficient monitoring.

Ai Analytics and deep learning

DW Ai solutions include all the Intelligent Video Analytics and advanced Video Content Analysis detection capabilities of the Ai engine. In addition, Ai servers empower users with deep learning objects and people tracking and color filters.

Star-Light Plus™ color in darkness technology

Star-Light Plus™ color in near-total darkness technology provides crisp, clear images in the absence of ambient light.
