Product FAQ
Q1What is the primary role of the FTD-16CH Edge AI Box in video surveillance upgrades?
We engineered the FTD-16CH Edge AI Box to transform existing standard IP cameras into intelligent AI endpoints without replacing installed hardware. By pulling RTSP or ONVIF video streams directly over the local network, the device performs real-time edge deep learning analytics across up to 16 channels simultaneously.
Q2What processor and NPU computing power are built into the FTD-16CH AI Box?
The FTD-16CH is powered by an 8-core ARM processor (Cortex-A76 + Cortex-A55 @ 2.4GHz) paired with an embedded high-efficiency NPU delivering 6 TOPS of peak AI inference power, backed by 8GB of RAM and 128GB of high-speed eMMC on-board storage.
Q3Which deep-learning AI detection algorithms are supported out of the box?
The device includes a comprehensive multi-scenario algorithm library: perimeter intrusion, line crossing, human and vehicle classification, PPE safety compliance (hard hat, safety vest detection), smart kitchen rules (chef hat, mask detection), flame and smoke alerts, personnel falling detection, and unattended baggage tracking. Each channel can run up to 10 algorithms simultaneously.
Q4How does the AI Box handle video decoding performance across 16 channels?
The on-board hardware engine supports real-time multi-channel decoding up to 16 channels of 1080P @ 25fps (or 4 channels of 4K UHD video) using H.265 or H.264 compression standards with ultra-low processing latency.
Q5How does the FTD-16CH communicate with third-party software and cloud platforms?
The box provides dual Gigabit Ethernet ports (2× 1000Mbps RJ45) and supports northbound integration via HTTP API, MQTT, and standard GB28181 protocols. Alarm snapshots, JSON metadata, and real-time event coordinates push instantly to client VMS platforms, central monitoring stations, or mobile notification apps.
Q6What are the physical dimensions, power draw, and cooling design of the AI Box?
Housed in a rugged aluminum chassis measuring 235mm × 150mm × 62.5mm, the device uses a completely fanless passive thermal dissipation design for silent, maintenance-free operation. It runs on DC 12V/2A power with an energy-efficient typical consumption of just 8W.
Q7Does the AI Box require an active cloud subscription or recurring license fees?
No. The FTD-16CH runs all neural network inferences locally at the network edge. Video streams and analytical metadata stay inside your private local network, eliminating cloud latency, recurring monthly software fees, and data privacy vulnerabilities.
Q8What OEM/ODM customization and algorithm loading options does Fengtaida offer?
Fengtaida provides direct-factory support for system integrators, including custom algorithm retraining, private model deployment, specialized HTTP/MQTT webhook formats, bespoke GUI branding, and tailored hardware I/O configurations.
