Imilab: The AI Camera Revolutionizing Home Security

Yajun Wang and Maofeng Kao's Design Wins Silver in A' Security, Safety and Surveillance Products Design Award

In a world grappling with a pandemic, minimizing human contact has become a necessity. Recognizing this, designers Yajun Wang and Maofeng Kao have created Imilab, an AI camera designed to identify people, pets, and couriers from a distance, reducing the need for physical interaction. This innovative design has earned them the Silver A' Design Award in the Security, Safety, and Surveillance Products category.

The Imilab camera stands out for its minimalist, rounded appearance that blends seamlessly into any environment. Its unique properties include a built-in AI algorithm that enables it to recognize human shapes and pets. This feature, coupled with a new universal shaft base, solves the loosening problem common in traditional universal shafts.

Constructed with high-performance antioxidant plastic, the Imilab camera is designed for outdoor use. Its surface is polished for easy dust cleaning, and its fully sealed body boasts an IP65 waterproof rating. This allows it to function in harsh environments, with temperatures ranging from -30 to 60 degrees Celsius. A built-in high-density recyclable lithium battery powers the camera for 6-9 months on a single charge.

The camera is easy to operate. Users simply scan the QR code at the bottom of the camera with their mobile phone to connect. Once connected, they can view the camera screen through their mobile phone. This simplicity of use, combined with its advanced features, makes the Imilab camera a standout in the realm of home security.

The design process, which took place in Shanghai from June 2020 to April 2021, involved extensive research and testing. The team analyzed the product in different application scenarios, optimized the installation and disassembly structure, and verified the product with multiple 3D printed rapid prototypes. The result is a product that is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing.

Despite the challenges of manufacturing a camera body made of unequal thickness plastic, a rarity in plastic products, the team was able to overcome these obstacles. The result is a product that is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. The Imilab camera is a testament to the team's commitment to innovation and excellence.

In conclusion, the Imilab AI camera, with its unique design and advanced features, represents a significant advancement in home security technology. Its recognition by the A' Design Award is a testament to the creativity and technical expertise of designers Yajun Wang and Maofeng Kao. This innovative product is set to redefine how we protect our homes and loved ones.
