Camerapedia

A wiki for the camera industry, providing up-to-date information on all aspects of AI cameras, including historical developments, technical specifications, and the latest innovations.

ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)
Electronic systems in vehicles that use AI to aid the driver. They include features like lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking.

AI (Artificial Intelligence)
The simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think and learn. In vehicle cameras, AI is used for object detection, driver assistance, and other smart functions.

Cabin Camera
An interior camera installed inside a vehicle, often used for DMS (Driver Monitoring System).

CAN Bus (Controller Area Network)
A communications bus standard for microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other within a vehicle without a host computer.

Cargo Camera

Cloud Computing
The delivery of computing services—including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and intelligence—over the internet (the cloud) to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale.

Computer Vision
A field of AI that trains computers to interpret and understand the visual world through images and videos, applied in AI vehicle cameras for tasks like object detection and recognition.

Data Retention
The policies and practices regarding the storage of data collected by AI vehicle cameras, including the duration for which data is stored and how it is protected.

DMS (Driver Monitoring System)
A system that uses cameras and AI to monitor the driver's attentiveness, fatigue, and behavior to improve safety.

Edge Computing
The practice of processing data near the edge of the network, or closer to where the data is being generated, such as in a vehicle, rather than in a centralized data-processing warehouse.

EID
The EID (Embedded Identity Document) is the serial number of the SIM card and is often printed on the SIM card itself. The EID is unique to the SIM card and does not change unless the SIM card is replaced. A Smarter AI Dashcam can have up to 2 EIDs, as it supports up to 2 SIM cards.

Fleet Management
The management of a company's vehicle fleet, using AI vehicle cameras for tracking, diagnostics, and efficiency optimization.

Geofencing
A feature that uses GPS technology to create a virtual geographic boundary, enabling software to trigger a response when a vehicle enters or leaves a particular area.

ICCID
The ICCID (Integrated Circuit Card Identifier) represents the cellular profile on the SIM card. ICCIDs can change when a new cellular plan is pushed onto the SIM card.

IMEI
The IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is a unique identifier for the modem exposed to the SIM card, similar to a MAC address. For our Smarter AI Dashcam, there can be 2 IMEIs due to the presence of both a soldered SIM (MFF2) and a SIM Slot (4FF). The IMEI is permanent and does not change. The Dashcam Pro model has only 1 IMEI.

Machine Learning
A subset of AI that involves the use of algorithms and statistical models to enable machines to improve their performance on a task through experience.

MOIS Camera
A camera designed for monitoring the area around a vehicle, often used for obstacle detection and situational awareness.

Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates
Wireless delivery of new software, firmware, and other data to vehicles without needing a physical connection, allowing for remote updates and maintenance.

Road Camera
An exterior camera mounted on a vehicle to capture the view of the road ahead, often used for ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems).

Sensor Fusion
The process of integrating data from multiple sensors to produce more accurate, comprehensive, and reliable information than would be possible from a single sensor alone.

Side Cameras
Exterior cameras placed on the sides of a vehicle to monitor and record the areas adjacent to the vehicle, providing better visibility of blind spots and assisting in lane changes.

Telematics
The interdisciplinary field that encompasses telecommunications, vehicular technologies, road transportation, road safety, and computer science. Telematics systems in vehicles typically collect data on vehicle usage, maintenance requirements, and driver behavior.

V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) Communication
A communication system that allows vehicles to communicate with other vehicles (V2V), infrastructure (V2I), and other road users (V2P) to improve safety and traffic efficiency.

Video Telematics
The integration of video data with telematics systems, providing visual context to data collected from the vehicle, improving safety and operational efficiency.
