IMOU launches Rex 3D panoramic 360° pan and tilt camera to UK market

IMOU, a prominent provider of smart IoT solutions and services, has announced the launch of its newest product, the Rex 3D. The company’s latest offering is a smart pan and tilt indoor security camera that seamlessly blends technology and beauty. The Rex 3D is equipped with IMOU SENSE™, a proprietary AI algorithm matrix, making it the first of its kind. The camera’s crystal ball appearance, designed to mimic a starry sky, offers consumers a unique and stylish approach to home security. With the Rex 3D, IMOU aims to provide its customers with an unparalleled experience that is both fashionable and functional. The IMOU Rex 3D is available to buy from B&Q and Very for £49.99.

Real AI for Smarter and More Accurate Detection

Different to most AI algorithms present in the home security camera industry that typically have integrated chips, IMOU has invested in R&D and carried out IMOU SENSE™ algorithms in order to enhance AI performances and user experience. The powerful computing power base of IMOU SENSE™, combined with a leading CNN convolutional neural network algorithm model chip, enables efficient data processing and analysis. Compared to the algorithm provided by the chip manufacturer, the algorithm precision rate of IMOU SENSE™ is 20% to 50% more effective, making the detection of human and pet targets much more efficient and accurate.

Based on the powerful AI algorithm of IMOU SENSE™, Rex 3D has a recognition accuracy of 99% for human figures and pets. It recognizes objects and processes data in 20 milliseconds (0.02 seconds) and quickly finds human and pet targets in images, immediately sending a notification to app within 0.6 seconds, allowing users to monitor what matters without receiving annoying false alerts. In addition, the omission ratio is reduced by 35% to 50%, and the false alarms can be reduced up to 95%.

360° Smart Tracking Presents Clearer Panoramic View

The Rex 3D has two levels of image quality, 3MP and 5MP. With live monitoring and a panoramic pan & tilt feature, Rex 3D ensures every corner of users’ homes are completely covered. The 8x digital zoom, more than 1080P sensor and advanced IR algorithms provide crystal clear video both day and night. Under smart tracking mode, with just one tap, the Imou Life App can be turned on, allowing the Rex 3D to automatically track and record movement and abnormal events after detecting an unrecognized object. Users will receive real-time notifications within 0.6s when someone breaks in, and can check the recordings to track the whole process.

Protect The Home from All Sides with Auto-Cruise

The Rex 3D automatically rotates between 355° horizontally to view every corner of users’ homes, with this full range ensuring there are no blind spots. Users can conveniently turn on Auto-Cruise in the Imou App, allowing them to plan their security schedule remotely. There are six favourite points available to set via the app, and cruising time can be changed here. When this mode is turned on, Rex 3D will automatically rotate the camera between the selected favorite points to cover important areas within the set period. The retention time can be set at each favorite point for 10-300 seconds.

Active Deterrence to Scare Off Intruders

When the active deterrence mode is turned on, as soon as a moving object appears on the monitor, the Rex 3D will automatically emit a high-decibel alarm sound (100 dB) to deter the intruder, and at the same time push a notification to the app. In addition, users can set detection zones they want to monitor on the app, which helps avoid false alarms. Users can customise the alarm tone (the default tone is the siren tone, and the remaining three tones can be customized. Each tone lasts no more than 10s).

Full Duplex (FDx) Two-way Talk, Synchronous Video

The Rex 3D has a built-in Hi-fi microphone and HD resolution for clear two-way video communication. The built-in speaker and microphone allow users to interact with pets and family, or to dissuade unwelcome guests.

Privacy Mode

It is also possible to rotate the lens of the Rex 3D to face down with one tap on the Imou Life App to disable recording and monitoring. The physical shield and technical cutting flow also provides users with more privacy.

Lower Space Occupancy, Higher HD Image Transmission

The Rex 3D adopts the new generation of H.265 smart code technology, enabling a higher HD image transmission in a lower space occupancy. H.265 can transmit images at a transmission speed of 2Mbps, and provide 16-day continuous recording on a 256GB Micro SD card in 3MP camera and 8-day continuous recording on a 256GB Micro SD card in 5MP camera. Comparing to H.264, the bandwidth of H.265 is reduced by 50% so more space is saved.

Multiple Storage Methods Supported

There are 3 ways for consumers to choose to store their video clips. For cloud storage, the recorded videos are stored remotely in the cloud, with the data strictly encrypted, and with the benefit of the video footage being saved even if the camera is broken. Users also can use SD card and NVR to store the video. SD card is up to 256 GB and supports 24 hours of continuous video recording and local saving. Once the storage is full, the old recordings will be covered with new ones. Cruiser 2 also supports the Onvif protocol which enables its compatibility with most of the mainstream NVR.

The IMOU Rex 3D is available to buy from B&Q and Very for £49.99.
