Mobicam3

Mobicam3 HD IP Camera Reference Design

Overview

Mobicam3 is Maxim’s latest High Definition (HD) IP camera reference design based on MG2580 H.264 video codec system-on-chip (SoC) solution. Designed by eInfochips, the reference design provides a complete platform for development.

The small-form-factor and customizable design offers High Definition (HD) H.264 and MJPEG capture, multi-stream output, embedded HD analytics, image stabilization, low latency and low power at a very competitive price point.

A single camera based on this reference design can potentially replace several analog cameras, while offering greater video quality, eliminating the need for mechanical PTZ systems, and enabling intelligent monitoring to assist human operators.

Mobicam3 is equipped with 512 MB NAND flash and 128 MB DDR2. It uses MG2580 in its System-on-Chip (SoC) mode, i.e. running embedded ARM as the system controller. The operating system running on the ARM is Linux 2.6.20.
