Security equipment plays a vital role in civilized society. Traditional security products are mostly used in single image monitoring fields, such as home care cameras, traffic monitors, remote video conferencing, etc. With the addition of AI technology, the new generation of security technology is showing a high-definition, networked, intelligent, and diversified development trend, and the monitoring functions and application levels have been expanded accordingly. In response to these trends, Dalian Daquanding launched a security monitoring solution based on the NOVATEK NT98530 chip and SmartSens image sensor.

NT98530 is a highly integrated SoC with high image quality, low bit rate and low power consumption, suitable for 8Mp60 edge computing IP camera applications. The SoC integrates ARM Quad Cortex A53 CPU core, new generation ISP, H.265/H.264 video compression encoder, DSP, high-performance hardware DLA module, graphics engine, dual display controller, Ethernet GMAC, USB3.0 and USB 2.0 host/device, audio codec, RTC and SD/SDIO 3.0, which can provide cost-effective edge computing IP camera solutions. In addition, NT98530 has advanced AI capabilities and can reach 2T computing power, which can be used for face recognition analysis.

In addition, image sensors are also an important component of security monitoring systems. They determine the clarity, color saturation, brightness adjustment and strong light suppression capabilities of monitoring. In this solution, GLM selected products from SmartSens, which is very famous in the security field, such as 8M's SC850SL, 5M's SC530AI/SC5239 and 2M's SC2336 . These products have achieved good results in starlight night vision, HDR, near-infrared gain and image low noise.

With the help of the powerful features of the NOVATEK NT98530 chip and the SmartSens image sensor, high-definition image effects can be achieved after software optimization and adjustment. Combined with the AI ​​face recognition function, it can enhance security and empower multiple fields.
