Deep learning on-board

Axis has launched its first deep learning capable camera, called the Q1615 MKIII, with a dedicated deep learning processor unit on-board, meaning analytics can run directly on the camera as opposed to on a server. If you combine this with the third generation of the Axis Camera Application Platform then this camera has opened the door for many possibilities.

Running the analytics on the camera results in a faster and more scalable system to facilitate complex and powerful analytics. Edge-based automatic incident detection, counting and anomaly detection are just a few of the many options.

Application development partners can now easily port their tailor-made third-party analytics, combining deep learning with a truly open edge platform.

Having the ability to run complex, third-party analytics directly on the camera allows solutions to be more saleable. This means instead of buying more licences and servers to accommodate your growing needs, you can just increase it by one camera with the licence and processing power on-board. This also leads to a more cost effective and less complex overall solution.

In addition, with the Axis Camera Application Platform, application development partners (ADP) can develop applications that can be downloaded directly onto the Q1615 MKIII, making the possibilities of what this camera can do endless.

For added peace of mind, the camera includes signed firmware and secure boot which guarantees that the firmware hasn't been compromised and ensures only authorised firmware is installed. And if needed, secure boot guarantees the camera is completely free of malware after a factory default. The camera also includes all the Q-line features such as Lightfinder 2.0 and Forensic WDR.
