Ambarella Unveils Low-Power Processor for IP Cameras

BusinessWire: Ambarella announces the S2Lm-based battery-powered IP camera reference design for small, high-quality, battery-powered Full HD security cameras for both professional and consumer security applications. The reference design is based on Ambarella’s new S2Lm ultra low-power HD camera SoC, which can start recording 1080p30 video in less than 500ms from wake up, and provides up to six months of battery life. A Linux SDK is included for networking and customer applications including cloud streaming and analytics.

“Battery-powered IP cameras support new use cases that are relevant to a large segment of the security camera market,” said Chris Day, VP of Marketing and Business Development at Ambarella. “With no wires to worry about, S2Lm-based cameras can be installed in places where getting to a power outlet may be difficult. In addition, these cameras can be moved around for short term monitoring, without the need to reinstall the camera after every move.”
