Xingzong Intelligent 5G AIoT HD IP Camera Shows the Potential of 5G and LoRaWAN® Integration

According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China’s 5G network coverage continues to expand. As of the end of March 2022, nearly 1.56 million 5G base stations have been opened nationwide. The large-scale deployment of 5G networks will further empower the IoT ecosystem and expand IoT application scenarios to many fields such as manufacturing, agriculture, medical care, security, and smart cities. As one of the mainstream IoT wireless communication technologies, Semtech LoRa® has attracted industry attention because of its integration with 5G communication.

Recently, Xiamen Xingzong Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Xingzong Intelligent”), Semtech’s LoRa ecological partner, launched a 5G AIoT high-definition network camera, which innovatively integrates 5G, AI and IoT technologies, and supports 5G at the same time. Communication and LoRaWAN® communication. Xingzong Intelligent is deeply involved in the AIoT (Intelligent Internet of Things) industry. With cutting-edge IoT communication and artificial intelligence as the core technology, its products mainly cover the fields of intelligent IoT, intelligent security and intelligent communication.

Xingzong Intelligent 5G AIoT HD IP Camera has built-in 5G module and a gateway module based on LoRaWAN connection, which can wirelessly transmit video data through 5G network without deploying complex cables and optical fibers, and quickly connect to terminal equipment. The high-definition network camera uses the Semtech LoRa Core™ SX1302 chip, which has strong data processing capabilities and stable operation. Through the innovative integration of 5G, AI and IoT technologies, it will bring benefits to fields such as smart cities, smart retail, smart medical care, smart transportation, and smart ports. infinite new possibilities.

Innovative advantage: Fusion of LoRa, 5G and AI technologies

The 5G AIoT high-definition network camera can be used for two purposes in IoT applications. It can not only transmit high-definition video images as a high-definition network camera, but also collect IoT sensor data (such as environmental monitoring sensor data; smart switch panel) through the LoRaWAN gateway module. , smart socket and PIR sensor data; one-key alarm data; water immersion, sound and light alarm, combustible gas and other fire sensor data). When the sensor data triggers an early warning, the video image will be linked for secondary confirmation at the same time to improve management efficiency. Among them, the LoRa-based gateway module supports sensor data collection and instruction issuance, and the 5G module is used to return live video, rapid analysis and decision-making, so as to realize one-time deployment, solve the one-time transmission of data streams and video streams, and save a lot of money. Equipment costs and deployment costs.

The camera has a built-in Semtech LoRa Core™ SX1302 digital baseband chip, which enables it to act as a gateway to collect data from surrounding IoT sensors. At the same time, it supports CN470, RU864, IN865, EU868, US915, AU915, KR920, AS923, and AS923-2 and other frequency bands around the world, and has built-in permanent free network server (NS), supports MQTT/HTTP/HTTPS connection methods, and can be quickly connected Various IoT platforms.

In terms of 5G technology, the high-definition network camera has a built-in 5G module, supports 5G full Netcom, and realizes ultra-high-speed video transmission. In addition, through AI technology, the camera can realize video content analysis functions such as area intrusion, area departure, advanced motion detection, damage detection, line crossing detection, loitering detection, item picking, and legacy detection.

Solve industry pain points through technology integration

With the support of Semtech LoRa® technology, this solution effectively solves the pain points of the HD camera industry:

• Meet more wiring-free usage scenarios, reduce the difficulty of project deployment, and control project costs;
• 5G communication and LoRaWAN communication are combined to form a more independent outdoor AIoT solution;
• The built-in LoRaWAN-based gateway collects sensor data to make the data more accurate. Compared with traditional pure AI video analysis, it is more widely used and avoids abnormal data reporting due to haze weather and image occlusion.

Due to the limited internal space of the IP camera and the built-in gateway module based on 5G and LoRaWAN, facing the problem of mutual interference between 5G and LoRa wireless signals, it is necessary to plan and modify the internal structure design in time. During the development process, Semtech not only provided suggestions for integrating LoRa chips, but also provided key technical support for signal processing and a laboratory platform for verification, so that the two technologies could be integrated into one device.

Rich product application prospects

At present, Xingzong intelligent 5G AIoT high-definition network cameras have entered the pilot verification stage in many application fields.

Epidemic prevention and isolation:

Xingzong Intelligent uses 5G AIoT high-definition network cameras, smart sensors and terminal equipment to deploy epidemic prevention and isolation areas, effectively solving the management problems of isolation areas such as communities, centralized isolation hotels, and isolation wards. For example, Xingzong Intelligent WS301 wireless door sensor can link 5G AIoT high-definition network cameras in real time, and conduct secondary confirmation of the isolation ward through real-time video. When the isolation personnel feel unwell, they can also use the Starzong intelligent WS101 one-key alarm button in the isolation room to call for emergency help and get a quick response. Through a series of intelligent deployments in the quarantine area for epidemic prevention, Xingzong Intelligent’s solutions help to comprehensively improve the management efficiency of the quarantine area.

Water level monitoring:

The traditional water level monitoring method is completed by manual on-site measurement, which is unintuitive and untimely. With the development of AI technology, there are also technologies using AI video analysis in the market, but it is easy to cause misjudgment by managers due to dirty water gauges and floating objects. The water level early warning monitoring system based on LoRaWAN wireless deployment of Xingzong Intelligence effectively solves this problem and can be applied to scenarios such as urban waterlogging and waterlogging early warning.

In this system, the Starzong intelligent EM500-SWL submersible liquid level sensor is used to monitor the water level under the bridge, and at the same time, the Starzong intelligent 5G AIoT high-definition network camera is deployed for real-time linkage. When there is an abnormal water level alarm, the scene around the bridge can be confirmed by video in real time to ensure the accuracy of the information; when the scene is critical, corresponding decisions can be made in time to ensure that the bridge project does not cause serious losses due to floods and other conditions. Or personal safety due to bridge hazards.
