New flagship fisheye cameras deliver intelligent 360° coverage with easy, intuitive context-rich searches and proactive alerts
i-PRO Co., Ltd. has unveiled its first cameras with generative AI running fully at the edge at ISC West 2026, marking a major advancement in real-time video intelligence.
Showcased at booth #26053, the new X-series fisheye cameras enable natural-language interaction with live video—without relying on cloud infrastructure or external servers.
Generative AI Moves To Real-Time Edge Operations
Building on its 2025 introduction of generative AI for forensic analysis, i-PRO is now bringing AI directly into live monitoring environments.
The new i-PRO X-Series Fisheye Cameras allow operators to describe scenarios in plain language—such as “person lying down” or “delivery truck”—and the system continuously monitors for those conditions in real time.
Powered by Ambarella CV72, the cameras process detection and feature extraction entirely on-device, delivering:
- Low-latency alerts
- Reduced infrastructure complexity
- No dependency on cloud services
“Free text interaction changes the way people work with video,” said Gerard Figols, Chief Operating Officer at i-PRO.
“By embedding generative AI directly into the cameras, i-PRO simplifies operators’ work by delivering real-time insights that support faster, more confident decisions, regardless of system size or complexity, while keeping data local, secure, and fully under the customer’s control.”
Faster Investigations With Privacy-First Design
For post-event analysis, i-PRO integrates generative AI with i-PRO Active Guard, enabling natural-language search across recorded footage.
Key advantages:
- Search for people, vehicles, or objects using free-text queries
- Metadata generated directly on the camera
- Faster investigations—from hours to seconds
Because video data remains on-premises and only metadata is used for search, the system supports privacy, compliance, and data sovereignty requirements.
Expanding Edge Intelligence Capabilities
Beyond generative AI, the X-series cameras introduce additional intelligence features:
- AI On-Site Learning to adapt detection based on environment
- AI Processing Relay to extend analytics to non-AI cameras
- Enhanced automation for workflows and incident response
These capabilities help organizations scale AI adoption while maximizing existing infrastructure.
High-Performance Imaging For Demanding Environments
The cameras feature a 12.5MP fisheye sensor delivering full 360° panoramic coverage.
Advanced imaging includes:
- AI Noise Reduction (AI-NR) for improved low-light clarity
- Infrared illumination and optional white LED for full-color night visibility
- Reduced motion blur for better evidence capture
This combination ensures accurate detection and reliable insights even in challenging lighting conditions.
Open Architecture With Enterprise-Grade Security
Built on an open platform, the cameras support Docker-based applications, allowing deployment of custom or third-party AI solutions directly on the device.
Security features include:
- Secure Boot and signed firmware
- FIPS 140-3 Level 3 compliance
- IK11 and IP69-rated rugged housing for outdoor environments
These capabilities make the cameras suitable for high-security and mission-critical deployments.
Redefining Panoramic Security
By combining 360° coverage with generative AI at the edge, i-PRO is setting a new benchmark for intelligent video surveillance.
Organizations benefit from:
- Reduced camera counts and infrastructure costs
- Simplified deployment and maintenance
- Scalable AI capabilities without cloud dependency
The new X-Series fisheye cameras will be available globally starting June 2026.
