About Imilab AI Camera
Imilab is an outdoor security camera with artificial intelligence recognition. The minimalist rounded form blends into the installation environment. A built-in algorithm recognizes human shapes and pets and sends an alert to a mobile phone. A new universal shaft base prevents the loosening common in traditional shafts. The body is made of high performance antioxidant plastic with a polished surface for easy dust cleaning. The sealed housing is rated IP65 and works from minus 30 to 60 degrees Celsius. A lithium battery lasts six to nine months on one charge.

- Production Technology
- Since the camera is used outdoors, it is made of high performance antioxidant plastic. The surface of the camera body is polished for easy dust cleaning. The fully sealed body is IP65 rated waterproof, allowing it to work in harsh environments from -30 degree Celsius to 60 degree Celsius. Built-in high-density recyclable lithium battery can be used for 6-9 months on a single charge.
- Design Challenge
- The main part of the camera body is made of unequal thickness plastic. This is very rare in plastic products and requires stringent production quality. It increases the difficulty of mass production and manufacturing cost.
- Project Duration
- The project started in June 2020 in Shanghai and finished in April 2021 in Shanghai,
- Operation Flow
- When using it for the first time, please scan the QR code at the bottom of the body with your mobile phone to connect. Once connected, you can view the camera screen through your mobile phone
- Research
- Analyzed and studied the product in different application scenarios, optimized the installation and disassembly structure of the product in the wall-mounted mode, and verified the product with multiple 3D printed rapid prototypes, modified the operation method and adjusted the size of the product in accordance with the study of the size of handheld products (tools) in human factors engineering, and finally integrated the most suitable product solution in several design directions.
- Inspiration
- Due to the epidemic, people need to protect themselves better by minimizing contact with others. We’re intended to design a camera that can identify people, pets and couriers, and can use mobile phone to view the situation in gardens and doorways. Reduce the risk of being infected by going out. We hope to design a very intelligent camera The camera AI recognition function can determine the people and animals in the area being photographed, and notify the user by SMS. The user can also set the warning mode to use sound and light to expel bad guys. l Of course, you can also use the camera to talk to your children and pets in two ways to increase the feelings of the batch.
