Edge AI Cameras That Run Standalone
Detection, recognition, and event handling are computed on the camera itself. No NVR or AI box required, and analysis results go straight to your backend.

Run AI Tasks at the Edge
Image recognition, event management, and behavior detection are computed directly on the camera.
Lower Hardware and Deployment Cost
Traditional AI surveillance places an NVR or AI box behind the cameras, which raises integration, deployment and maintenance costs. A LILIN AI camera carries that workload itself: unplug the legacy IP camera, wire in the AI camera, and the setup is complete.
- Less cabling
- Fewer hardware devices
- Better power efficiency
Object Detection Out of the Box
Object detection is the foundation of an AI camera. LILIN provides pre-trained models for industrial, commercial, and home surveillance scenes.
Event and Behavior Detection
Event = Object + Behavior
Object recognition and behavior rules work together to turn traffic, perimeter, and dwell activity into actionable events. Available functions vary by model, firmware, and analytics license.
SDKs for Backend Integration
Send analysis results to backend systems over standard interfaces: REST API, webhook event streams, and C# or Python SDK packages.
