The video surveillance market is ushered in a period of rapid development and is expected to accelerate in the upcoming 2018

The video surveillance market is ushered in a period of rapid development, especially this year, the network camera (IPC) is gradually opened under the artificial intelligence, and the ultra-low power, long standby, fast-start battery-based network cameras are also beginning to be popular. Accreditation is expected to accelerate in the upcoming 2018.

According to the IHS report, the global physical security equipment market (professional and consumer video surveillance, burglar alarm, mobile and wearable cameras, etc.) totaled $29.2 billion in 2016, a growth of 5.8% compared to 2015. It is expected that the market will be 2018. Double growth.

Among them, the application proportion of battery cameras is gradually increasing, the vertical resolution of video has been upgraded from 720P to mainstream 1080P, and its application range is not limited to scenes such as doorbell items and monitoring. At the same time, as the deployment conditions of the application scenarios are mature, the demand for intelligent and scalable mobile monitoring solutions is increasing, and the demand for battery-based cameras is increasing, which also drives the growth of the mobile video surveillance market.

Worth watching low-power battery camera S1

Not long ago, in the 2017 Shenzhen Anbo Conference, including the worthy of viewing, Xin View, Haishilian, Aipu Lianke, etc. exhibited the latest application of various types of battery cameras, and Junzheng independently developed the battery camera Zeratul (Zeratu The platform is the driving force behind its application, driving the market to accelerate.

Six core advantages, Junzheng Zetu is born for battery cameras

Battery cameras, initially with Alro and Ring gradually entering the public eye, after two years of market preparation, the current video surveillance field has fully recognized this type of products, the market is on the eve of the explosion.

The battery camera Zeratul (hereinafter referred to as ZRT) platform independently developed by Junzheng has been stable and mature after two years of accumulation and research and development, and has been introduced and marketed. At the 2017 Shenzhen Expo, there are a number of battery camera products based on the T series that are worth watching and Haishilian. It is reported that there will be more battery cameras based on the ZRT platform on display at 2018 CES.

ZRT is an all-round battery camera product platform that includes support for all aspects of battery cameras:

1. Selected hardware reference design for ultra-low power consumption and material selection for mass production;

2. Complete software function implementation to deeply optimize the key user experience;

3. Mobile phone support, you can easily achieve differentiated modification;

4. P2P/Relay is seamlessly integrated, and there are many ways to seamlessly switch;

5. Cloud AI support, including face recognition, cloud storage and so on.

The ZRT platform has six technical advantages in terms of product features:

1. Based on Junzheng intelligent video T series chip;

2. Covers both product types and suits;

3.WIFI continuous online, ultra-low power standby, remote viewing at any time;

4. Pure battery life for more than 6 months;

5. Fast code stream technology;

6. Based on the standard Linux OS, flexible extension, rich in content.

The battery camera products have broad prospects and the product form is very varied. At present, it is mainly divided into two forms, namely, single products and suits. These two forms adapt to different application scenarios.

The single product is an independent and workable camera with a simple structure and is suitable for consumer groups, especially for doorbells, smart cat eyes, and hunting cameras. The kit is a combination of a number of battery cameras and a transfer station to form a small self-organizing network system, which can achieve better battery life and a more stable experience, which is suitable for more professional application scenarios. ZRT has made sufficient design considerations for these two forms, and can easily realize any product form. It can realize all-weather network connection and has a battery life of more than half a year.

The ZRT platform defaults to the T-series chips of Junzheng Intelligent Video, and optimizes performance and power consumption for chip features. From basic functional forms, doorbell door locks, to mobile video recording, to future integration into AI, in addition to products such as battery cameras, ZRT can be widely used in the future in the field of IoT to create everything that needs imaging and battery applications. product.

Since the battery camera eliminates the troubles such as cable wiring and can achieve long-term battery life, this gives the consumer great convenience. It is foreseeable that the battery camera will be an important supplement to the ordinary IPC in the future, and its market imagination cannot be underestimated. ZRT is born for battery cameras, has long-term development goals, comprehensive layout, each node has a unique product landing, is the most suitable battery camera product platform.

Ultra-low-power life, never-ending "the pursuit of fans"

As we all know, Jun is creatively introducing its unique MIPS32-compatible microprocessor technology XBurst, which can transmit commands at high speed with very low power consumption. Its processor is well-known in low-power technology, and ZRT is in battery camera. Admiral continues to carry forward this advantage. The measured power consumption of ZRT in the WIFI is less than 1mW in the standby power of the network, and the power consumption of the video recording machine is as low as 400mW. At such a power consumption level, the battery is recorded in real time for a whole day, and standby standby is more than half a year.

And through the WIFI connection to keep the Internet all day, this is also the just need for battery-based cameras. Through WIFI on the network, the user can remotely view the contents of the battery camera at any time, and when the PIR (infrared body sensing alarm) is triggered, the event can be received in time. This function is closer to the ordinary home IPC.

In addition, the choice of battery is especially critical for battery cameras. Comprehensive comparison of power, hardware cost, temperature security, and reuse costs, ZRT can support a variety of batteries such as rechargeable lithium battery, 18650 and CR123.

From the Wami watch to the battery camera, the innovation of low power consumption is endless, and Jun Zheng seems to have a fascinating pursuit. It is reported that the future ZRT platform will continue to optimize the main chip, refine the external materials, adjust the WIFI strategy, chase the end in the low-power journey.

The ecology of LinuxOS, the speed of RTOS, both can be both

In addition to the ultra-low power long-term battery life, another major advantage of the ZRT platform is that ZRT can implement fast code stream technology based on standard Linux. On a standard Linux system, the ZRT takes only a few hundred milliseconds from power-up to the first frame of stable video, making it possible to respond quickly to dynamic tracking.

"This can be said to be ZRT's unique technology. This technology comes from the Dual Boot configuration of the T series chip." According to Jun Zheng's technical director, ZRT independently boots through dual-core, and the small system quickly starts up, and Linux switches seamlessly. This achieves a fast start, which not only achieves the speed of fast code stream, but also maintains the ecological advantage of Linux OS.

It is understood that the advantages of RTOS are small and fast, the lack of ecology is lack of ecology, stability and scalability are not particularly good, so it brings the disadvantages of difficult development and difficulty in porting existing software. Linux is ecologically sound, development is very difficult, stability, scalability, and inheritance are very good. In the near future, with the connotation of battery cameras, Linux-based battery cameras are undoubtedly the best choice for rapid development. It is also because of long-term considerations that ZRT finally chose the direction of Linux development.

In fact, ZRT's Dual Boot technology starts with a small transparent system and seamlessly switches to standard Linux. The whole process is transparent to the developer, which not only achieves the startup speed of the RTOS, but also maintains a large number of advantages of Linux. This is definitely a huge benefit for many battery camera developers.

Based on the ecology of Linux, ZRT also has good display support capabilities. Based on the support of common GUI systems such as FB or QT, ZRT can support a variety of beautiful user interfaces. This can greatly enhance the interactive experience in products such as smart cat eyes.

Based on the flexibility and scalability of the above-mentioned standard Linux, developing a battery camera on ZRT is as easy as developing an IPC. A large number of network protocols, extended peripherals, and P2P/pushing mature resources can be easily commercialized.

Flexible expansion, rich in content, and a comprehensive ecosystem outside of hardware

The scalability of ZRT is also reflected in another aspect, which is the infinitely possible intelligent function in the future. It is understood that the current Junyi T series chip has been duplexed voice, face / human face recognition, object tracking, Smart code stream, cloud storage and other functions, can be easily obtained. At the same time, thanks to a good software ecosystem, ZRT has already supported functions such as Bluetooth extension, which lays the foundation for subsequent applications such as smart door locks. In addition, with the set of transfer stations, it can also be docked with the cloud AI, enabling the battery camera to obtain deep visual analysis capabilities.

In addition, the PIR of the battery camera is the main trigger source, but the PIR technology itself has many defects, so it brings a lot of false positives, and the PIR false alarm is also a major application pain point of the battery camera product. The ZRT platform has specially designed a set of intelligent algorithms for false alarm filtering for the application pain points of battery camera PIR false alarms. It runs on the T series high-performance CPU, which is the best way to solve this pain point.

On the megatrend, AI is helping IP cameras to emerge in security, smart homes, smart cities and other industry applications, becoming a hot application in video surveillance, while battery cameras are easy to install, simple to configure, simple in network structure, and images. The characteristics of good quality and so on are gradually recognized by the market. At the same time, under the blessing of AI, the market application growth momentum will be stronger.

Overall, after the battery camera market is brewing, it will usher in an accelerated development period in 2018. It will enter the major segmentation application market of video surveillance, and the outbreak is obvious. The Junzheng ZRT platform is the core driver of its application market.

The fundamental intention of Junzheng is to provide “one horizontal and one vertical” service to the broad battery camera market: “One horizontal” refers to product resource integration, industrial chain cohesion, and provides all-round manufacturing competitiveness for products; “Vertical” is an in-depth technical solution to solve the R&D coupling, supporting the functional ecology, and providing the product with a reputation for experience.

From the product feedback point of view, the ZRT platform is initially fulfilling the "one horizontal and one vertical" service. The battery camera based on ZRT is quite strong, equipped with 4000mAh lithium battery, charging once, WIFI online life can reach 300 days, at the same time ZRT fast code stream can achieve fast response of hundreds of milliseconds, and based on standard Linux system, battery product development Quite simple. At present, there are few companies that can provide support and achieve real mass production, and Jun is one of the few cores. While promoting product application and opening the market, it is expected to explode in 2018. The tide is greatly benefited.
