What AI Features Can VHD ODM Cameras Include?
VHD’s ODM cameras offer AI features spanning multiple levels, from basic smart framing to advanced scene recognition. The specific AI features available depend on the product category—different camera form factors emphasize different AI capabilities.
Overall, VHD cameras fall into three major categories: professional PTZ cameras, USB cameras, and Video Bar all-in-one devices. Each category has a corresponding AI feature matrix.
I. AI Features of Professional PTZ Cameras
Professional PTZ cameras target medium-to-large meeting rooms, auditoriums, classrooms, and similar scenarios. Their AI capabilities focus on automated tracking—enabling the camera to track presenters autonomously without manual operation.
- AI presenter tracking: Automatically identifies the presenter’s position and follows in real time via the PTZ mechanism. The camera follows wherever the person moves. Suitable for single-presenter scenarios such as presentations, training, and classroom lectures.
- Zone tracking: Preset priority tracking zones so the camera tracks targets only within the specified area and does not follow them into irrelevant zones. Suitable for fixed presentation areas such as stages and lecterns.
- HDR10 imaging technology: Although not an AI feature itself, it works notably well with AI algorithms—HDR10 improves highlight and shadow gradation, giving AI algorithms richer image information for higher recognition and tracking accuracy.
ODM customers for this type of PTZ camera are primarily video conferencing vendors and education informatization integrators—they need a professional camera with stable, reliable AI tracking to pair with their conferencing or teaching systems.
II. AI Features of USB Cameras
USB cameras target lightweight scenarios such as small meeting rooms, personal offices, and live streaming. Their AI capabilities focus more on smart framing and image optimization.
- Auto-framing: Automatically detects the number of people in frame and intelligently adjusts the framing range so everyone appears in an appropriate position. It adapts automatically whether there are many people or few.
- Zone tracking: Tracks moving targets within a preset area. Suitable for discussion scenarios in small meeting rooms.
- Presenter tracking: Recognizes and follows a person, keeping the main subject centered during single-presenter scenarios.
- Beauty features (select models for live streaming): Supports smart beauty functions including skin smoothing, whitening, and skin texture optimization. Suitable for live streaming, interviews, remote work, and other on-camera scenarios.
USB cameras are characterized by plug-and-play operation and high cost-effectiveness. Their AI features are lightweight but sufficient, making them one of the highest-demand categories in ODM orders.
III. AI Features of Video Bar All-in-One Devices
A Video Bar is an integrated audio/video conferencing endpoint that combines a camera, microphone, and speaker in a single device. With stronger computing power and richer sensors, its AI features are the most comprehensive of the three categories.
- Auto-framing: Intelligently adjusts framing based on the number of participants, keeping everyone in frame at an appropriate distance.
- Speaker close-up: Identifies who is speaking in real time and automatically provides a close-up of the speaker, making remote participants see them more clearly.
- Gesture tracking: Recognizes gestures and adjusts the frame accordingly—for example, automatically providing a close-up when someone raises their hand—enhancing meeting interactivity.
- Presenter tracking: PTZ-level tracking capability, with smooth camera movement following the presenter.
- Smart gallery: During multi-person meetings, automatically presents each participant in a separate frame, similar to a gallery view, so remote participants can clearly see everyone’s expressions and reactions.
The Video Bar’s AI capability is audio-video linked—it uses the microphone array to locate the sound source and combines it with video-based face recognition to double-confirm the speaker, making it more accurate than pure vision-based solutions. This is a typical demonstration of VHD’s advantage in independent R&D of both audio and video.
Under ODM, AI Features Can Also Be Customized
The above are mature, standardized AI features. In ODM partnerships, if customers have specific AI requirements, VHD also supports custom development—such as industry-specific scene recognition, integration with customers’ proprietary algorithms, and deployment optimization for specific AI models.
As an A-share listed company (301318) and a solution provider with 20 years of audio/video technology accumulation, VHD’s ODM is not merely contract manufacturing, but full-chain collaboration from algorithm R&D and hardware design to mass production.
