Recommended AI-Compatible Hardware
Maximize the accuracy of deep learning analytics by pairing the AI Box with these high-resolution data sources:
- IR6 4K PTZ Camera — 8MP resolution provides the metadata depth needed for face and vehicle recognition.
- IRS2 Air-Wiper Series — Ensures clear visual data for AI analytics even during heavy rain or fog.
Establish high-bandwidth, long-range wireless backhaul without digging trenches or laying expensive fiber-optic cables. This outdoor wireless bridge utilizes advanced 5.8GHz 802.11ac technology, delivering up to 900Mbps throughput across a massive 10km point-to-point line-of-sight.
Key Engineering Highlights
- Long-Range Dual Antenna: Features an integrated 16dBi dual-polarized directional patch antenna, concentrating signal power to maintain high throughput even in noisy industrial zones.
- 900Mbps Throughput: Built on high-performance Qualcomm chips, supporting multi-lane IP camera streams, thermal sensors, and PTZ telemetry simultaneously without dropouts.
- All-Weather Protection: IP65 waterproof housing with custom UV stabilizers and high-torque pole mounting rings resists severe storms, snow accumulation, and scorching summer sun.
- Power over Ethernet (PoE): Supports standard 24V passive PoE or 48V active PoE, letting you run power and data over a single outdoor Cat6 cable up to 100 meters.
