Processing 4 Cameras at 25 FPS with 15W Power

Energy-efficient multi-camera ALPR system for low-cost, high-performance solution

New Standard in Energy Efficiency

VEBZE's 15W power consumption ALPR system can process 4 cameras simultaneously at 25 FPS. This means 95% less energy consumption compared to traditional server-based solutions.

Understanding 15W: Power Comparison

Let's make some comparisons to understand what 15 Watts means in real-world terms:

💡 LED Bulb

Standard LED bulb: 10-15W

VEBZE = Energy of 1 bulb

🖥️ Desktop PC

Average PC: 200-400W

26x more power consumption

☁️ Cloud GPU Server

NVIDIA A100 server: 400W+

27x more power consumption

📱 Smartphone

Charger: 5-20W

Similar power level

⚡ VEBZE Power Consumption Details

Idle Mode: 5W (camera standby)

Single Camera Active: 8W

4 Cameras Full Load: 15W

Annual Energy Cost: ~$80 (24/7 operation, $0.12/kWh)

4 Cameras, 25 FPS: How is it Possible?

We combine low power consumption with high performance through these optimizations:

  1. Model Quantization: FP16 and INT8 precision usage reduced computational load by 60%
  2. Shared Backbone: Same feature extraction network used for 4 cameras
  3. Motion-Based Processing: No processing on static frames
  4. Dynamic Frame Skipping: Adaptive FPS on low-priority cameras
  5. TensorRT Optimization: Full utilization of NVIDIA hardware acceleration

Multi-Camera Architecture

VEBZE's multi-camera support works with intelligent workload distribution:

Parallel Processing

Each camera stream processes in its own pipeline. 4 CUDA streams run in parallel, experiencing minimal performance loss from single-camera performance.

Priority Management

Cameras can be assigned priorities. For example: Main entrance camera always at 25 FPS, parking area cameras can drop to 15 FPS when needed.

Load Balancing

System load continuously monitored. If all cameras are active simultaneously, resource distribution is automatically optimized.

Adaptive Quality

Resolution can be dynamically reduced during high load (1080p → 720p), saving energy while maintaining 99% accuracy.

Real-World Performance Tests

Power consumption and performance tests in different scenarios:

Scenario Power (W) FPS (Per Camera) Accuracy
1 Camera - 1080p 8W 43 FPS 99.4%
2 Cameras - 1080p 11W 32 FPS 99.3%
4 Cameras - 1080p 15W 25 FPS 99.2%
4 Cameras - 720p 12W 35 FPS 99.0%

Cost Savings Analysis

15W power consumption provides significant savings in operational costs:

💰 VEBZE (15W)
  • Annual Energy: $80
