EVS 04 Edge AI Vision Computer

Edge AI Image Processing and Video Analysis Computer for Up to 4 IP Cameras

Product Description

The EVS 04 Edge AI Vision Computer is a compact Edge Vision computer developed by IBBVision, designed for the local ingestion, processing, recording, and analysis of IP camera footage, as well as the on-site execution of IBBVision artificial intelligence applications.

The EVS 04 is built upon the edge computing approach, which enables image processing and AI applications to be performed as close as possible to the camera and data source. Without the need to continuously transmit footage to a remote server or cloud environment, all required processing is carried out directly on the device.

The system is designed for video ingestion from up to 4 IP cameras and enables existing IP camera infrastructures to be transformed into AI-powered video analysis applications. Thanks to its compatibility with RTSP- and ONVIF-compliant camera infrastructures, it allows existing systems to be integrated with IBBVision solutions without being tied to a specific camera brand.

The EVS 04 is positioned not merely as a video recorder, but as an edge computing platform on which IBBVision software and AI solutions operate.

The device is delivered with IBBVision Core software. IBBVision Core provides the system's fundamental video ingestion, live viewing, and video management infrastructure. AI-powered video analysis functions, however, are licensed independently of the standard hardware package.

Through this structure, the EVS 04 can be configured for different use cases according to the required AI functions. Analyses such as person and vehicle detection, 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.

The EVS 04 has been developed for stores, offices, restaurants, hotels, apartment and residential complex entrances, small and medium-sized businesses, warehouses, branch offices, educational institutions, and other facilities with video analysis needs of up to 4 cameras.

Edge AI Architecture

In traditional video analysis architectures, camera footage is transmitted to a central server or cloud environment, where analysis is performed. This approach can increase network traffic, particularly in structures with multiple locations and high camera counts, and creates dependency on centralized systems.

The EVS 04 reduces this dependency by performing image processing directly on-site. IP camera footage is ingested by the device, and all necessary image processing and AI inference tasks are carried out locally.

The key advantage of this architecture is the ability to perform real-time analysis without continuously sending video data to a remote system. This reduces video traffic on the network, enables low-latency analysis through local processing, and makes it possible to process sensitive video data without it leaving the facility. High levels of security and speed are achieved.

Even in the absence of an internet connection or during temporary outages, the system's core local functions can continue to operate. When licensed AI applications are configured to run on the device, analysis processes can be sustained independently of internet connectivity.

Camera and Video Infrastructure

The EVS 04 can manage video streams from up to 4 IP cameras. Camera connections are established via RTSP and ONVIF protocols.

This architecture allows existing IP camera infrastructure to be preserved. Users are not required to completely replace their camera systems solely to utilize AI video analysis; as long as existing cameras are technically compatible, they can be integrated with the EVS 04.

The number of cameras, image resolution, frame rate, and the AI models used can affect the system's total processing load. Therefore, real-time AI analysis capacity should be evaluated according to the selected camera and software configuration.

IBBVision Core

The EVS 04 is delivered with IBBVision Core software.

IBBVision Core is the foundational operating layer of the EVS 04. It provides functions such as managing camera connections, ingesting live video, viewing footage, and operating the system's core video infrastructure.

IBBVision Core is not an AI analysis package by itself. Therefore, when the product is used solely with Core software, it provides video ingestion, viewing, and video management functions dependent on product configuration; AI functions such as person, vehicle, object, or behavior analysis are not activated.

IBBVision AI Software Architecture

The AI capabilities of the EVS 04 are built upon a modular software architecture.

Deep Learning Surveillance is the software layer developed by IBBVision for running AI-powered video analysis applications. This layer provides the infrastructure required for licensed AI analysis applications to run on the EVS 04.

AI Image Analysis Solutions consist of applications and models that address specific analysis needs. Different analysis functions can be added to the system according to user requirements.

For example, one user may choose to use only person detection and zone intrusion analysis, while another may opt for a more comprehensive setup including person, vehicle, license plate, facial, or behavior analysis.

This modular structure allows the EVS 04 to be configured for various needs without being locked into a single use case.

Real-Time Analysis

When licensed AI solutions are activated, the EVS 04 can analyze camera feeds in real time to detect specified objects, events, or behaviors.

Events generated as a result of analysis can be used to trigger alarms, notifications, recordings, or other system outputs, depending on the software solution in use.

AI analysis capacity depends on variables such as the number of cameras, image resolution, frame rate, the models used, and the number of analysis functions running concurrently. Therefore, the required AI configuration for a specific application should be determined according to the system's use case.

Local Processing and Data Privacy

The EVS 04's edge architecture enables local processing of video data.

The fact that camera footage does not need to be continuously sent to an external cloud platform for analysis provides advantages, particularly in applications where security, operational privacy, and corporate data policies are critical.

Analysis results, event information, and required metadata can be stored on local systems or transmitted to authorized central systems, depending on the IBBVision software architecture in use.

This approach supports keeping control of on-site video data within the organization.
