Advantech introduced its new ARK-V and ARK-S integrated in-vehicle and outdoor video surveillance solutions. ARK-V series has in-vehicle power (9~36Vdc, ISO-7637-2), in-vehicle certifications (E-Mark, IEC-60721-3-5 5M3) and well-developed vehicle software SDK and APIs for space-critical in-vehicle applications, according to the manufacturer. It also provides extension capability and wireless communication (GPS/G-sensor/Wi-Fi/3G/CANBus) for connectivity, high graphics power (up to 1080p/720p @120fps) for video capture, and integrated software for manageability and security.
For outdoor and rugged environments, vehicle vibration and shock resistance capabilities for these new systems are certified at IEC-60721-3-5 5M3. ARK-V series’ vehicle power design is certified by E-mark and ISO-7637-2. Both series have also garnered various safety certifications, including CE, FCC, CCC, UL, BSMI and CB, and can therefore be marketed in countries that observe strict safety standards, noted the company.
Each ARK-V/S series unit comes with Advantech SUSIAccess software support that provides a well-developed SDK and APIs, per Advantech. These add-ons let system integrators develop their own remote monitoring and control functions, vehicle ignition management, VMS and peripheral connection management such as wireless modules, PoE status, GPS and G-sensor, the company noted.
ARK-V and ARK-S series provide support for up to four Mini-PCIe slots, including 3G/Wi-Fi/CANbus and mSATA. With a 3G module and SIM cards, it can provide 3G voice communication for eCall applications.
