i-PRO Co announced its new AI-enabled Corner Camera aimed specifically at correctional facilities. This stainless steel camera is IK11 compliant thus it’s able to withstand a 70 Joule (70J) impact; far exceeding the common IK10 (20J) impact ratings of similar devices.

The camera’s wide-angle view (131° horizontal, 95° vertical) limits blind spots, providing full room coverage. The sensor provides a ±5° yaw adjustment and a ±5° tilt to further conform to installation requirements. An invisible IR-LED illuminates up to 15 meters using a 940nm wavelength. While the stainless steel body exceeds an equivalent IK11+ impact rating, any attempt to tamper with the camera, from impacts to opening the case, instantly sends an alarm to operators.

The i-PRO Corner Camera measures just 197x139x126 mm (7.76×5.47×4.96 inches). With a dynamic range of 132 dB, images remain clear in a variety of lighting conditions. “The engineers at i-PRO have done it again. When you factor in the additional license-free AI applications, it’s truly an industry-leading camera,” said Figols. The camera’s all-important anti-ligature design prevents self-harm incidents while minimizing any attempt to remove the camera by force.

The corner camera supports up to three free i-PRO AI applications simultaneously, such as AI Video Motion Detection, Privacy Guard, and People Detection. To protect prisoner privacy, i-PRO’s AI Privacy Guard feature can automatically blur faces or entire bodies, creating a redacted stream. A built-in microphone facilitates AI-based sound detection of yelling, glass breaks, and more.

The vandal-proof camera includes a secure boot feature and complies with the FIPS 140-2 level 3 standard.

The new corner camera is expected to be available in September 2024 from i-PRO’s extensive global network of resellers.
