Ambarella Processor for Security Cameras Promises 2-5 Year Battery Life

BusinessWire: Ambarella introduces the S6LM camera SoC for both professional and home security cameras. The S6LM includes Ambarella’s latest HDR and low-light processing technology, 4K H.264 and H.265 encoding, multi-streaming, on-chip 360-degree dewarping, cyber-security features, and a quad-core Arm CPU. Fabricated in 10nm process, the SoC has very low-power operation, making it well-suited for small form factor and battery-powered designs.

An S6LM-based battery-powered camera or PIR video camera can shut down in less than one second when something such as an animal, shadow, or rain causes a false alert, effectively extending the camera’s battery life to between 2 to 5 years.
