For consumers seeking better security and surveillance, here is another option for you courtesy of Texas Instruments. The company announced today two comprehensive and cost-effective reference designs for Internet Protocol (IP) cameras and digital video recorders (DVR).

These reference designs, powered by the new TMS320DM365 digital media processor based on DaVinci technology, provide high-definition (HD) H.264 in high, main or base profile (D1, 720p @ 30 fps or 1080p at reduced frame rate) with tri-streaming support. They also benefit from TI’s fifth generation Image Signal Processing (ISP) solution, which enables video stabilization, face detection and other video quality enhancements.

Additionally, the DVR reference design includes the new TVP5158 video decoder to capture multi-channel video inputs with new advanced features, such as auto contrast and video noise filtering for greater visual quality.

Both reference designs are open for order entry today. The IP camera reference design is available for USD $795 from Appro Photoelectron Inc. The DVR reference design is available for USD $1195 from UD Works.
