Merced CMOS IP Camera Platform

Product Info

The NETHRA IMAGING™ Merced platform is a production-ready IP camera unit designed to enable OEMs to develop fast time-to-market IP cameras for the surveillance market. With minor GUI customization and adjustments to fit OEM specific implementation needs, the camera design is ready to move into production.

The Merced platform is designed with Nethra's second generation image processor NI-9065 which is based on a highly scalable, real-time image processing pipeline. It is a total solution with video streaming and encoder functions implemented on separate boards.

The front-end Capture Board, implementing the NI-9065 and Micron MT9T031, is optimized for both box and dome camera designs. The system solution, covering capture and encoding, consumes less than 3 W - much less than a typical CCD sensor and ISP solution alone.

The platform is delivered with complete software package as well as support for customization of the GUI and API. Advanced features include motion detection, privacy masking, and OSD (on-screen display). Using the Merced Platform as the foundation, OEMs can develop advance surveillance cameras quickly and efficiently with relatively low development costs. Nethra will also be offering additional Capture Boards for WVGA sensors and adding features such as enhanced dynamic range in upcoming releases.
