ARTPEC-9 System-on-Chip: Next generation analytics and stronger cybersecurity

Axis Communications announced the 9th generation of its purpose-built system-on-chip (SoC) – ARTPEC-9. This builds on and further refines capabilities and features that characterize previous generations of the company’s in-house-designed SoC: exceptionally low bitrate, AI-powered analytics, quality imaging and enhanced cybersecurity.
In addition, for the first time for a network video, ARTPEC-9 supports the AV1 video encoding standard from the Alliance for Open Media (AOM). Together with Axis Zipstream, AV1 makes it easy to reduce storage cost without sacrificing forensic detail.

Next-level cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is becoming more important aspect of IP-connected cameras and a core customer concern, so Axis designs ARTPEC SoCs with current and future threats in mind. Main security features include:

  • Axis signed OS, ensuring only verified and trusted software can be uploaded and used in Axis devices,
  • secure boot, preventing booting of unauthorized software,
  • Axis Edge Vault for secure operations based on cryptographic keys.

Thanks to “on-the-edge” analytics, already introduced in ARTPEC-8, analytics applications can be embedded directly into the device and analyze video without sending data to a central server. Data are analyzed, anonymized and encrypted on the device at the edge before transferring to the data center – minimizing the risks of losing sensitive data.

Advanced analytics

ARTPEC-9 improves video analytics and allows applications to detect objects earlier and identify smaller details than before. That enables cameras to trigger events and actions quicker, enhancing security, safety, and operational efficiency.

Already introduced “on-the-edge” analytics, which allows cameras to analyze data on the camera itself, makes it possible to develop analytics that can automatically detect objects and distinguish between different kinds of objects, such as people and types of vehicles. The new SoC promises to triple video analytics performance and boosts graphics speed by 2x.

AV1 support

This SoC brings support of AV1, the next generation open video codec designed for streaming media. Thanks to that video management solutions providers can also add support for AV1 and, combined with ARTPEC-9’s enhanced image processing, deliver high-quality video with the best-in-class bitrate.

Alongside Axis Zipstream, AV1 ensures smooth, optimized video performance whether stored on-premises or in the cloud.

Key Takeaways

20% efficiency boost over the previous generation.

AV1 support cuts bitrate by another 20%, delivering even greater storage and bandwidth savings.

Advanced AI-driven applications, superior image quality, faster scene analysis, and higher streaming capacity — earning recognition as an award-winning innovation from the Security Industry Association (SIA).

Ready to See ARTPEC-9 in Action? Choose from these cameras

The first Axis camera to feature the ARTPEC-9 SoC was the Axis Q1728 Block Camera, 8 MP device designed to support next-generation AI-powered analytics, offering superior light sensitivity and exceptional image quality. This camera comes preinstalled with Axis Object Analytics, Axis Image Health Analytics, and Axis Live Privacy Shield, ensuring users receive reliable, accurate, and high-quality video streams along with actionable insights without compromising privacy or security.

Other Cameras Featuring ARTPEC-9: 

  • Axis Q3546-LVE : 4 MP AI-powered dome camera available with wide or telephoto lenses.
  • Axis Q3548-LVE : 4K AI-powered dome camera equipped with Axis Edge Vault, a hardware-based cybersecurity platform designed to safeguard the device.
  • Axis Q3556-LVE : 4 MP AI-powered dome camera featuring AXIS Audio Analytics, which alerts users to relevant audio events, even in the absence of visual signals.
  • Axis Q3558-LVE : Robust 4K AI-powered dome camera also equipped with AXIS Audio Analytics, offering high-performance video surveillance with audio-triggered insights.
  • Axis Q6355-LE and Axis Q6358-LE : High-performance, AI-powered PTZ cameras that deliver unmatched image quality with remarkable detail and consistent performance in all lighting conditions. Both models include Axis Edge Vault for enhanced hardware-based cybersecurity.
