Core Advantages

  • Supervised classification + unsupervised anomaly detection — dual approach
  • Fine-tune custom models with just 50 images on SenseCraft
  • Event-triggered local alerts, only tens of KB metadata transmitted

Deployment & Selection
Architecture

Where to place compute: 3 deployment topologies

A video analytics solution combines four types of components — cameras, AI compute nodes, network, and cloud. Depending on where compute resides, deployments fall into three topologies.


Core Advantages

  • All-in-One AI Camera (reCamera / R2130): 1 stream, simplest, plug-and-play
  • Detached Edge Box (J3011 / J4012): 2–6 channels, cost-effective workhorse
  • Multi-Stream Video Hub (J5012 / AGX Orin): 9+ channels, centralized RTSP processing

Right-sizing: choose hardware by channel count

To determine how many 1080p30 streams you can run, look at TOPS and model size. The table below uses **YOLOv8m** (industrial-grade accuracy) as the common baseline, summarizing AI performance, channel count, and cost across six products.


Core Advantages

  • Channel benchmark: YOLOv8m, 1080p @ 15 FPS INT8 (640×640); lighter YOLOv8n/s multiplies channels 2–3×, 30+ FPS halves estimate
  • Bottleneck: video decode, not inference — larger models amplify; real-world figures run slightly below pure-inference estimates
  • How to choose: 1 ch — reCamera; 2–6 ch — J3011/J4012; 9+ ch or GMSL — J5012

Which device works with my camera?

The table below summarizes video input interfaces and hardware decoding limits for each device.


Core Advantages

  • IP Cameras: RTSP via Ethernet, channels limited by HW decode ceiling (NVIDIA data)
  • Local Cameras: MIPI CSI (J3011 / J4012) or GMSL (J5012 only, ×8 daughter)
  • Output + Industrial Bus: RTSP / WebRTC output; J4012 / J5012 include CAN + RS-485

Passive vs Active: choose by dust level

Dust level determines cooling: fan (active) for lower cost & sustained full-load; fanless sealed enclosure (passive) for dust, wide temp & voltage — built for harsh environments.


Core Advantages

  • High dust (mining, mills, outdoor) → passive Industrial/Fanless, sealed fanless
  • Indoor (office, retail, lab) → active cooling (Super/AI), fan-cooled better value
  • Naming: J-series 'Industrial' = passive; R2000 'AI' = fan, else fanless
