OMNIVISION and iCatch Technology have entered into a strategic collaboration to introduce a new feature into the home security camera market. The collaboration aims to bring color pre-roll and AI processing capabilities to wireless home security products, bridging the gap between wired and wireless systems.
The partnership involves integrating OMNIVISION’s OA07600 ultra-low-power video co-processor with a pre-roll recording buffer and iCatch Technology’s Vi57 artificial intelligence (AI) imaging system-on-chip (SoC). This integrated chipset enables continuous storage of pre-event color video footage. By combining the pre-roll footage with post-event footage, the Vi57 SoC can create a seamless video with minimal data loss.
One of the standout features of the collaboration is the Vi57 SoC’s ability to provide high-quality video in full color, even under extreme low-light conditions. This is made possible through state-of-the-art image processing technology. The use of color information enhances the user’s understanding and traceability of any incident captured by the security camera.
We are thrilled to collaborate with OMNIVISION to integrate their advanced color pre-roll solution for the video doorbell market, said Weber Hsu, CEO of iCatch Technology. By combining OMNIVISION’s OA07600 video co-processor with our Vi57 AI imaging SoC, we are closing the gap of the user experience between wired and wireless home security cameras, offering both ease of installation and incident traceability at the same time.
David Ho, Technical Director of Product Management at OMNIVISION, expressed excitement about the partnership. Our unique low-power design of the OA07600 makes it possible for the first time to bring high-quality pre-roll video into battery-powered systems. We are excited to partner with iCatch Technology to integrate the OA07600 with their Vi57 SoC and bring a new level of performance to wireless home security camera OEMs.
The collaboration between iCatch Technology and OMNIVISION aims to enhance the user experience of battery-powered home security cameras, particularly video doorbells. The color pre-roll feature offers improved incident traceability and elevates the security standard of video doorbells to new heights. The jointly developed solution is already in mass production and available for customer engagement.
With the introduction of color pre-roll and AI processing capabilities, this collaboration between OMNIVISION and iCatch Technology is set to revolutionize the wireless home security camera market. Users can now enjoy the benefits of both ease of installation and enhanced incident traceability, closing the gap between wired and wireless systems.
