Axiomtek currently offers the UST520 automotive NVR platform designed for intelligent video analytics, powered by 14/13/12th generation Intel Core, supporting 2 or 4 replaceable SATA drives with DDR5 memory and RAID protection. This solution is a certified Intel ESQ device for Metro AI Suite with E-Mark and R118 COC Ready certifications.
Fanless platforms are designed for harsh mobile environments. It has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C and can withstand vibrations up to 3 Grms (for SSDs). An optional anti-shake kit further improves recording stability for HDD-based NVR applications.
With monitoring in mind, the UST520 supports up to 8 or 16 2.5GbE PoE ports via M12/RJ-45 connectors. Axiomtek’s PoE Manager software facilitates control and monitoring of individual ports, allowing designers to remotely manage power status and optimize maintenance efficiency without physical intervention.
For seamless integration into a variety of vehicle platforms, the UST520 supports a wide input range of 12/24/48 VDC (configurable from 9 to 60 VDC). According to a press release, Smart Ignition protects system health through configurable IGN ON/OFF delays and low-voltage shutdown mechanisms at the BIOS level to prevent unexpected data loss and unstable system operation. Axiomtek’s DigiHub provides API tools that allow engineers to directly control Smart Ignition at the OS level, supporting flexible integration and customized power control interfaces.
Built-in accelerometer allows motion-triggered and impact-recognized recording without the need for additional sensor modules, saving space and reducing hardware requirements.
