i-PRO U-Series Intelligent Entry Level Cameras With Real Insights And Faster Alerts.
i-PRO U-Series Intelligent Entry-Level Cameras – i-PRO’s U-Series camera range brings intelligence to entry-level security solutions.
According to Mark Shannon, national product manager at BGW Technologies, AI is no longer optional in security — it’s expected.
“End-users are increasingly asking about smarter systems that can do more than just capture video,” Shannon said. “They want analytics that provide real insights, faster alerts, and tools that help them manage risk in real time. For integrators, that demand creates both a challenge and an opportunity: how do you deliver advanced AI without pricing smaller end-user customers out of the market?”
Shannon said i-PRO’s new U-Series cameras answer that question – delivering an entry-level range that brings edge-based AI into everyday installations, from retail to education to small business.
“These cameras are about making AI accessible and practical,” explained Shannon. “We know integrators are under pressure to deliver smarter solutions without adding unnecessary complexity. The U-Series makes that possible.”
With AI running on the camera itself, the U-Series can detect people and vehicles, spot loitering, trigger line-crossing alerts, and even recognise movement in the wrong direction and do it all in real time. This reduces false alarms, saves bandwidth, and delivers more reliable insights to the customer.
“The U-Series is built to deliver powerful edge computing without the trade-offs,” Shannon said. “Each camera comes with AI-driven video motion detection, giving end users smarter alerts and fewer false positives. Audio recording adds another layer of situational awareness, while enhanced optical zoom ensures sharper images and more accurate analytics.”
The range also includes higher-resolution models, including 2MP, 5MP and 4K, available in the standard dome, box, and bullet form factors. But Shannon said it’s the practical features that round out the package: wide dynamic range for clear images, advanced compression to reduce storage needs, and the cameras are also future-ready, with direct-to-cloud VSaaS integration on the roadmap.
“For integrators, that means entry-level cameras that don’t just record but actively support better decision-making with intelligent features right out of the box”, Shannon explained.
“Crucially, i-PRO hasn’t overlooked cybersecurity. The new U-series surpasses this providing the industry’s highest level of data security with FIPS 140-3 level 3 compliance, utilising an NXP EdgeLock secure element.”
Level 3 certification includes stricter requirements for cryptographic modules, further reinforcing security by improving physical tamper resistance and safeguarding against key extraction and hardware attacks.
“It’s not just about what the camera sees – integrators need to know the device itself is secure,” said Shannon. “The i-PRO U-Series is built to protect both physical and digital assets.”
“For integrators, the U-Series is more than just a new product line. It’s a way to meet rising customer expectations for AI-powered surveillance, while delivering reliability, affordability, and peace of mind.”
