i-PRO Launches High Zoom Bullet Camera

i-PRO announced a new line of High Zoom Bullet cameras designed to deliver exceptional long-range coverage with advanced edge AI capabilities. Equipped with powerful zoom and IR LED technologies, the new cameras offer unrivaled precision for long-distance monitoring across various environments, such as highways, parking lots, bridges, ports, and stadiums.

The new lineup includes 10x and 30x zoom options, complemented by long-range (up to 250m/820ft) infrared (IR) LED capabilities for optimal performance in low-light or nighttime conditions. Available in 2MP, 5MP, and 4K resolutions, the range offers 20 new models across the X- and S-series.

“The High Zoom Bullet camera’s superior performance, combined with AI-powered analytics and an industry-leading 200-meter IR distance, sets a new standard for long-range security monitoring in mission-critical environments, including city surveillance, critical infrastructure, and transportation hubs,”

said Gerard Figols, Chief Product Officer at i-PRO.

AI-Driven Object Detection

Featured on X-series models, the powerful Ambarella CV52 SoC incorporates nine pre-installed edge applications, enabling enhanced object detection, AI on-site learning, and smarter incident detection in all conditions. With its open AI development platform for third parties, i-PRO provides the flexibility to tailor the system to meet specific operational needs.

X-series models also include the unique ability to add AI analytics to non-AI network cameras, including cameras from other manufacturers. Each X-series camera can collect AI metadata from up to three additional non-AI camera streams, giving advanced situational awareness to legacy cameras in potentially difficult-to-reach areas.

i-PRO Active Guard

When paired with the award-winning i-PRO Active Guard intelligent search application, a wealth of metadata describing the unique attributes of humans and vehicles is seamlessly delivered to popular Video Management Systems (VMS) like Milestone, Genetec, Video Insight, and others. This not only allows deep forensic search from edge-based AI analytics but also enables real-time proactive monitoring of important events that require immediate attention.

LPR-Optimized Models

Four LPR-optimized models are available for capturing plates at high speeds (up to 130 km/h) during the day or night. An advanced Long Wavelength Pass Filter (LPF) enhances plate capture in various lighting conditions, such as reducing glare from vehicle headlights at night, ensuring high accuracy even in challenging lighting conditions. Vaxtor’s LPR software is bundled with the camera and licensed separately.

“It’s the first time we are launching a third-party application bundled with our powerful edge computing cameras. The native integration of Vaxtor with i-PRO Active Guard demonstrates how our hardware and third-party software partners bring unparalleled value to mission-critical applications like city surveillance and traffic monitoring,” added Figols.

Additional Features and Benefits:

• Cybersecurity – NDAA and TAA compliant, the line-up is FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified and features secure boot (X-series) and GlobalSign digital certificates for robust cyber security.
• Gyro-Based Stabilization -The integrated gyro sensor improves image stability during long-range zoom operations, reducing vibration and ensuring sharp images, even in challenging conditions.
• Easy Installation –Installation is simplified with a ball-joint mechanism for flexible angle adjustment and a temporary holding structure. The camera’s sunshade design reduces the impact of external light and rain, further ensuring optimal image quality.
