With the trend of the Internet of Things, smart cities are being prepared in full swing. To realize the construction of smart cities, one of the most important things is the deployment of security monitoring. With the continuous improvement of people's demand for monitoring, surveillance cameras are also developing in the direction of high definition, networking, intelligence and diversification. In response to this, Dalian Daquanding launched a smart surveillance camera solution based on the NOVATEK NT98560 chip, which can be applied to Professional IPCAM, HOME/Consumer/AIoT IPCAM and other applications.

In terms of hardware design, the NT98560 adopted in the solution is a highly integrated SoC from NOVATEK, which has high image quality, low bit rate, and low power consumption, and is suitable for 2Mp to 5Mp Edge-IP Camera applications. This SoC uses the ARM Cortex-A9 CPU core and integrates a new generation of ISP, H.265/H.264 video compression codec, high-performance hardware DLA module, graphics engine, and display controller, which can provide clear images for camera devices. In addition, NT98560 also supports Ethernet PHY, USB2.0 host/device, audio codec, RTC, and SD/SDIO3.0, providing users with an ideal cost-effective consumer-grade AI IP camera solution.
