The first AINVR solution at the edge on the market. It can process up to 8 camera streams and switch between different AI models dynamically.

SmartCow announced the launch of Soter: and NVR (Network Video Recorder) platform with a built-in NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX 8GB/16GB and Nano module support to run data analytics that supports SmartCow’s new AINVR. The AINVR is a network video recorder with an additional layer of AI to provide automated alerts, analytics, and visualizations on a unified dashboard that is edge ready.

Meaning for the bigger AIOT or smart cities deployment, can also easily make the management and maintenance, within SmartCow's FleetTrackr solution.

With up to 8 camera streams, SmartCow AINVR solution can dynamically switch between different AI models. Its fanless AI network video recorder system supports AI functions, 9 Ethernet ports (PoE x 8, GbE x 1) on the front and back of the device and up to 8 RTSP cameras. Soter supports AI applications such as license plate detection, face mask detection, object classification, etc.

Soter-supported AINVR can perform tasks such as people and vehicle detection, while further processing of this data can be done on the NVR itself for real-time visualization on a unified interface.

Soter enables developers to have a reliable AINVR solution at the edge.
