OA8000 Artificial Intelligence Video Processor

OMNIVISION’s OA8000 is the industry first, ultra-low-power artificial intelligence video processor targeting battery powered intrusion cameras and video doorbells capable of deep learning inferences on the edge. The OA8000’s core consists of a powerful neural processor unit (NPU) with 1K MAC of neural network (CNN) acceleration at a high frame rate and low power consumption. Harnessing OMNIVISION’s unique low-power design, the OA8000 pushes the limits of computational power per mW, making it possible to achieve deep learning inferences in a battery-powered edge device.

Additional improvements include a quad-core ARM® Cortex® A5 CPU with NEON® technology for accelerated audio and video functions. This high-performance core enables more advanced video-analytics algorithms to be done on-chip, which reduces false alarms and increases battery life. Thanks to this powerful processor core and integrated audio CODEC, high-quality audio with noise reduction and echo cancellation is integrated without extra cost.

To address the vital need for cyber security, the OA8000 provides features for secured bootup and live streaming.
