IPX NM-1242B40-W 12MP AI IP Camera Module with Sony CMOS Sensor, RISC-V SoC & 4mm Lens
The IPX NM-1242B40-W from Infinite Pixels is a compact 12MP AI IP camera module built for embedded vision systems that need high image detail, edge AI capability, and a balanced fixed-lens view. With a Sony 1/2.3" 12MP CMOS sensor, 64-bit quad-core RISC-V SoC, embedded Linux, and integrated NPU, this 42mm x 42mm camera board is designed for OEM IP camera integration, intelligent traffic, smart security, robotics, machine vision, and industrial monitoring.
The NM-1242B40-W delivers up to 3840 x 2880 video at 20 fps and supports H.265, H.264, and MJPEG compression for flexible IP video deployment. Its onboard AI processing supports object detection using MobileNet V2 + SSDLite and YOLO7, helping reduce the need for separate external compute in select edge analytics applications.
The 4mm fixed lens gives this model a balanced field of view, making it a practical choice when the application needs more focused coverage than a wide 2.8mm lens while still maintaining useful scene context. It is well suited for parking analytics, entry monitoring, vehicle detection, indoor surveillance, automation equipment, and compact machine vision systems. Empty space analytics for up to 12 spaces and optional number recognition support make this module especially relevant for smart parking and intelligent transportation projects.
