PLANET Technology, a leading global provider of IP-based networking products and solutions, received COMPUTEX’s official honor, the 2026 Best Choice Award “SME Special Award”, for its “AI Surveillance Station (AIS-1000).” This recognition highlights PLANET’s innovation in smart networking and AI integration. Established by COMPUTEX Taipei, the award is one of the ICT industry’s most influential annual selections worldwide. PLANET’s award-winning solution is an industry-first edge AI intelligent surveillance platform designed specifically for small and medium-sized businesses, enabling smarter protection through AI analytics and real-time decision-making.

With demand for AI-powered surveillance continuing to rise and with many organizations facing high upgrade costs when integrating AI into existing systems, PLANET has launched the industry-first “AI Surveillance Station.” It enables businesses to upgrade surveillance systems without replacing existing IP cameras and NVR devices. This plug-and-play AI surveillance solution delivers seamless AI upgrades, dramatically lowering adoption barriers and empowering businesses to accelerate the move to intelligent surveillance. Powered by edge AI, the platform delivers real-time, advanced video recognition for a wide range of applications, including workplace safety, such as detecting whether helmets, reflective vests, and gloves are being worn. It also provides early warning capabilities, like fire and smoke detection, and supports scenario-based applications such as cat and dog recognition. In addition, the platform integrates common AI features found on the market, including face recognition and blacklist/whitelist management, fulfilling diverse application needs.

In terms of technical innovation and performance, PLANET is among the first in the industry to integrate a large language model (LLM) into the “AI Surveillance Station”, enabling natural-language intelligent search across time and across cameras. Users can describe what they are looking for in everyday language to quickly pinpoint key footage. The platform can also automatically generate AI analysis reports and alerts, helping administrators quickly grasp critical incidents and trends, significantly improving decision-making efficiency. With 13 TOPS of AI inference performance, it delivers on-premises, real-time AI video analytics and event interpretation. The platform also meets the IEC 62443-4-1 requirements (secure product development lifecycle requirements), providing robust, industrial-grade cybersecurity protection.

PLANET’s “AI Surveillance Station” features a model-free AI architecture and supports modular AI models that can be flexibly expanded to match different requirements and application scenarios, making it especially suitable for small and medium-sized businesses that need highly flexible deployment and diverse use cases. By integrating intelligent surveillance, AI analytics, and industrial-grade cybersecurity, PLANET continues to empower organizations to strengthen operational efficiency and security resilience, accelerating the transition to an AI-driven future.
