ADT and Ford Backed Canopy Selects Ambarella’s Edge AI System-on-Chip for Groundbreaking Intelligent Vehicle Security System
08 Novembre 2023 - 11:00AM
Ambarella, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMBA), an edge AI semiconductor company,
and Canopy, a smart vehicle security startup, today announced that
Canopy selected Ambarella’s CV25 AI computer vision system-on-chip
(SoC) for its flagship Canopy Pickup Cam system, providing
real-time monitoring and threat detection for truck beds. The
result of a joint venture between ADT and Ford, Canopy’s camera and
security system is compatible with most pickup trucks and began
shipping to customers on October 30th.
According to several industry reports, vehicle
theft rates are on the rise. Open truck beds are particularly
susceptible, often leaving owners unaware of a theft until it is
too late. Canopy’s security system proactively monitors the cargo
inside truck beds and sends automatic alerts when suspicious
activity is detected, unlike traditional security alarms that send
notifications after an incident. With an initial focus on personal
vehicles, and with plans to expand to fleet vehicles in the near
future, the Canopy Pickup Cam is the first aftermarket, AI-enabled
security system for truck bed security.
This system uses Ambarella’s CV25 SoC, with its
industry-leading AI performance per watt, to detect threats such as
reach-ins and tampering, while reducing false alerts for truck
owners. The CV25’s power efficiency enables the Pickup Cam to
provide comprehensive threat detection and alerts for extended
periods of time. Additionally, the CV25 SoC supports future system
expansions for additional cameras.
“We selected Ambarella’s CVflow SoC because it
provides a powerful AI engine with low power consumption, fast boot
and excellent low-light performance,” said Canopy CTO Ben Brown.
“These industry-leading features helped us combine the benefits of
smart home technology with our automotive and AI expertise to
create the only multi-make security system that proactively
protects pickup owners’ valuable truck bed cargo.”
“As the leading global supplier of security camera
chipsets, we are excited to enable Canopy with our edge AI
technology to provide higher levels of vehicle security,” said
Fermi Wang, president and CEO of Ambarella. “Ambarella’s CV25 SoC
offers the efficient processing performance and image quality
needed for compact, AI-powered embedded vision systems like the
Pickup Cam.”
Leveraging Ambarella’s extensive experience in the
video security market, Canopy’s system comes equipped with the
visual quality needed for increased accuracy from AI algorithms,
while maintaining a compact form factor and low power budget. For
example, the Pickup Cam features a 180° ultra-wide field of view,
supported by the CV25 SoC’s de-warping and Ambarella’s world-class
image signal processor (ISP). Additionally, this on-chip ISP
provides superior low-light performance and color night vision,
delivering exceptional image quality in adverse lighting scenarios.
These features help Canopy provide customers with peace of mind,
knowing that their truck beds are secure day and night, across a
wide range of environmental conditions.
The Pickup Cam also uses Ambarella’s on-chip
H.264/H.265 video compression engine to deliver constant video
recording, ensuring critical evidence can be gathered in the event
of an incident. Owners can also use the Canopy security app to view
a live stream of their truck bed when they are away from their
vehicle. Additionally, Canopy plans to offer an Emergency Help
service from ADT for professional monitoring and assistance.
