EDGE Computer Series

Edge AI Vision Computer Series
AI-Powered Edge Image Processing and Video Analysis Platforms

ABOUT THE SERIES

The IBBVision Edge AI Vision Computer Series is a family of Edge Vision computers designed for the local ingestion and processing of IP camera footage and the on-site execution of IBBVision artificial intelligence applications. Employing an edge computing approach—where image processing and AI applications are performed directly near the data source—these systems eliminate the bandwidth, latency, and data privacy issues inherent in traditional centralized or cloud-based solutions.

This series comprises models capable of real-time video ingestion ranging from 4 to 64 channels, addressing image processing needs of various scales. Each model offers a scalable structure tailored to the size and requirements of the organization.

Models in the Series:

  • EVS 04 – 4 Channels

  • EVS 08 – 8 Channels

  • EVS 16 – 16 Channels

  • EVS 24 – 24 Channels

  • EVS 32 – 32 Channels

  • EVS 40 – 40 Channels

  • EVS 48 – 48 Channels

  • EVS 56 – 56 Channels

  • EVS 64 – 64 Channels

Purpose of Use: To provide compact, cost-effective, enterprise-grade edge computing infrastructure for image processing needs of all scales—from small businesses to corporate facilities, branch offices to large campuses, stores to production sites, warehouses to shopping malls, apartment entrances to critical infrastructure—enabling the secure and efficient deployment of IBBVision AI solutions in the field.

Remember: The IBBVision Edge AI Vision Computer Series is not just a passive device for transmitting video. Delivered with IBBVision Core software, these systems are intelligent edge computing platforms on which IBBVision Deep Learning Surveillance software and IBBVision-developed custom AI Image Analysis Solutions are run. The systems ingest video streams from cameras, manage them through IBBVision Core, and provide the necessary infrastructure for licensed AI solutions to operate locally. All these operations are performed securely on-site, without sensitive video data leaving the facility.

Traditional centralized or cloud-based systems require all video streams to be transmitted to a central server. This introduces critical vulnerabilities such as high bandwidth requirements, system failures during connectivity loss, high latency, and the exposure of sensitive video data outside the facility. The Edge AI Vision Computer Series is designed to eliminate these problems.

  • Video Display: Uninterrupted video display for up to 4 to 64 channels, depending on the model.

  • Operating Temperature: Industrial design, -30°C to +70°C.

  • Cooling: Fanless passive cooling.

  • Connectivity: Gigabit Ethernet, PoE++, WiFi/4G/5G options.

  • Mounting: 19" rack, wall, desktop.

  • Storage: Internal + external storage support (for video and metadata storage).

B. IBBVision Core Software Layer (Included)

This is the foundational software layer delivered with the system.

  • Video Ingestion: Real-time video ingestion for up to 4 to 64 cameras, depending on the model.

  • Live Monitoring: Uninterrupted video display.

  • Video Management: Operation of the core video infrastructure.

  • AI Infrastructure: Provides the underlying layer required for IBBVision Deep Learning Surveillance and AI Image Analysis Solutions to operate.

  • Note: Core software does not include any AI analysis capabilities.

C. IBBVision AI Layer (Purchased Separately)

This layer constitutes the system's artificial intelligence capabilities and is delivered through a modular software architecture.

  • Deep Learning Surveillance: The licensed software infrastructure containing AI models developed by IBBVision. This layer provides the necessary framework for running AI analysis applications.

  • AI Image Analysis Solutions: Person- or organization-specific AI image analysis solutions. Analyses such as object detection, facial recognition, license plate recognition, behavior analysis, zone intrusion, fall detection, and fire and smoke detection can be incorporated into the system through the licensing of the relevant IBBVision AI solutions.

  • Note: All AI solutions are developed exclusively by IBBVision. Third-party software is not supported.

HOW IT WORKS

The working principle of the Edge AI Vision Computer Series is built upon a continuous and automated data flow cycle:

  1. Video Ingestion: Video streams are received from IP cameras via RTSP/ONVIF protocols. Each channel is processed independently.

  2. Core Software – Video Management: IBBVision Core software manages camera connections, receives live feeds, and operates the system's underlying video infrastructure. Video is displayed in real time. (No AI analysis is performed at this stage.)

  3. Deep Learning Surveillance (When Purchased): The infrastructure layer required for running AI models is activated. This layer enables licensed AI analysis applications to run on the EVS.

  4. AI Image Analysis Solutions (When Purchased): Real-time analysis is performed using the purchased models (object detection, facial recognition, license plate recognition, behavior analysis, etc.). Independent analysis engines running on each camera are activated.

  5. Alarm Generation: Detected anomalies are compared against predefined rules and Regions of Interest (ROI). When thresholds are exceeded, alarms are generated and a prioritized alarm flow is created.

  6. Notification and Intervention: Detected events are instantly communicated to the operator. Alarms can be delivered via visual marking, instant operator notification, and webhook integration with third-party systems.

  7. Metadata Generation and Storage: Object feature vectors, timestamps, and event logs produced during analysis are securely stored alongside video. Analysis results, event information, and required metadata can be stored locally or transmitted to authorized central systems.

All these processes run 24/7 without requiring operator intervention and independently of an internet connection.
