In the past five years, the global security monitoring market has emerged rapidly, of which the market growth of consumer netcam cameras is particularly obvious.
Figure 1 Global video surveillance market scale
In the course of market growth, two big trends have occurred: the requirements of image resolution are getting higher and higher, and the requirements for power consumption are getting lower. In 2017, the 720P (1280x720) resolution IoT camera has fallen from the previous market share, and the 1080P resolution (1920x1080) has started rapid growth. It is estimated that the 2018 Ten 2000 PP resolution will increase by more than 50%. The lifting of the resolution will result in a large video code stream, and 1080p code stream is 2.25 times that of 720p. The increase in streams directly leads to network uplink bandwidth requirements and storage space demand. In the case of 5G commercial time, the previous mainstream video coding mode H.264 is no longer suitable for high resolution 1080p image transfer before 5G. In terms of mainstream smartphone chips, the high-pass 14nm Snapdragon 660 is a positioning mid-point (elder-to-thousand) launched on May 9, 2017, the best cost-effective chip, supporting H.265 decoding. United Kingdom supports H.265 decoding from its entry-level to high-end smartphone chips. After IOS11, Apple supports hardware H.265 decoding. As a result, the IoT camera based on H.265 video coding, 1080p resolution has become the inevitable choice of the market! Not long ago, the AK3918EV300 launched by Ankai Micro Electronics was a 1080P resolution, the H.265 encoded IoT camera chip. The AnyCloud3918EV300 system platform also introduces H.265 + encoding techniques for ultra-low-code streams, which can reduce the code stream to 25% of H.264 (about 45% of the standard coding technology). That is to say, using the AK3918EV300 chip H.265 + coding technology, transmitting 1080p code streams, 46% less than the H.264 and 720p code stream. This means that users can enjoy a few more than half of the resolution video. Internet of Things cameras are getting lower and lower on power consumption. Battery-powered camera arlo is a representative of low power consumption. Its H.264 720P high-definition camera can be used in 5,200mAh batteries for 4 to 6 months. Arlo products still maintain growth in 2017 and occupy more than 30% of the North American Internet of Things cameras.

The AK3918EV300 features low power consumption. In the case of H.265 1080P @ 15fps acquisition, the typical power consumption of the chip itself is 300mW. The whole machine is collected in 5,200mAh battery Power Supply H.265 1080p @ 15fps, which can be used for 4-6 months in a typical work. That is, the product made from AK3918EV300, 1080p resolution, its power consumption can completely reach the level of arlo.
The AK3918EV300 chip has at least the following features:
Ultra-low code stream H.265 + / h.264 + encoding
Anyka ISP 4.0 low illumination image processor
Low-power support battery power
Dual camera 720 degree panorama shooting
Based on the AK3918EV300 chip, Ankai Micro Electronics provides Linux operating system platforms and RTOS operating system platforms, mainly:
Security gun machine
Consumer shake head machine, card machine
Panoramic camera, panoramic light bulb
Low power battery camera
Visual doorbell
Aerial map
It is understood that Ankai Microelectronics will also launch an Internet of Things coded chips that support 5 million pixel H.265 this year and support depth learning chips. In addition, Ankai Micro Electronics has released the 720P / 960P H.264 encoding chip of AK3918EV200 in 2016. The AK3918EV200 is a 720P / 960P H.264 IoT camera chip with the lowest industry power consumption. Its system 720p @ 15fps encoding is only 230MW. So far, it is still the industry's lowest power product. About Ankai Micro Electronic Ankai (Guangzhou) Microelectronics Co., Ltd. ("Ankai Electronics", English "Anyka") is a chip design company specializing in the design and sales of Internet intelligent hardware core chip, main products include Internet of Things Camera Camera Products, Bluetooth Chip Products, Application Processor Chip Products, mainly in the field of Internet access, Bluetooth network, biometric and other product fields.
