AI Cameras
Smart Image Analysis directly on the Camera
Image processing can be used to accelerate, control and optimize processes. When AI and apps come into play, the range of applications becomes even wider. Smart cameras can recognize varying shapes, locate randomly distributed objects in complex images and detect anomalies. In short: artificial intelligence solves tasks where rule-based image processing reaches its limits.
IDS NXT offers a complete system consisting of AI cameras and a user-friendly software environment. The central component is the versatile AI vision studio IDS lighthouse. The system supports all steps of application development, from capturing training images to actual execution. This means that AI-based image processing is no longer a topic for specialists only, but becomes accessible to everyone.
AI Vision for everyone: Our Intelligent IDS NXT Cameras
Artificial intelligence that runs directly on the camera - IDS NXT makes the technology usable for everyone. Users do not need any expert knowledge of deep learning, image processing or programming.

AI Cameras in use: Intelligent Image Processing for all Industries
Object classification, object detection and anomaly detection: AI cameras offer an enormous variety of applications and very flexible application options. The IDS NXT AI cameras can process machine vision tasks "on-device" and evaluate images themselves. They are also able to communicate with machines and control systems via their interfaces and can therefore trigger subsequent processes.
AI Vision in a few Steps
Smart Image Processing is this simple
Image processing with IDS NXT is based on system components that optimally matched to each other and a step-by-step workflow that leads to an easy-to-understand application.
IDS NXT simplifies classic embedded vision development by making complex tasks such as cross-platform programming and neural network training preconfigured and accessible in a user-friendly way. This allows users to concentrate on the essentials and move from the idea to the finished application in just a few phases.
Optimally Aligned System Components
IDS NXT offers all the software and hardware components you need to develop your own application. With the professional tools, even open-platform programming is possible, and free updates regularly provide new functions. IDS NXT cameras stand for maximum flexibility, state-of-the-art technology and transparent, simple operation. Discover all the system components now and find out how you can implement your own AI application.
