The MEGApix® Ai™ CaaS™ (Camera as a System) edge-based AI cameras have DW Spectrum® IPVMS and local storage onboard for a serverless solution, managed with DW Cloud.

Cerritos, CA (October 7, 2024) – Digital Watchdog® (DW), the industry leader in digital recorders, surveillance cameras, system peripherals and related management software, announces the addition of the 4K low-profile vandal dome IP camera to the serverless MEGApix Ai CaaS series. CaaS, standing for "Camera as a System," is an all-in-one technology that converts the edge-AI Deep Learning (DL) camera to an edge recorder, pre-loaded with DW Spectrum® Video Management Services.
