PowerVision’s PowerEgg X Brings Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Video Conferences
SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — PowerVision Robot Corporation, a global leader in smart drones, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and augmented reality, has added an Artificial Intelligence (AI) video conferencing camera mode to its innovative, PowerEgg X multi-purpose drone. Its unique modular design with detachable arms allows the PowerEgg X to turn into a video camera in just one snap. Simply attach the versatile unit to the included tripod mount, connect it to a standard tripod, or set it near a digital device. Compatible with popular platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Webex, users are no longer tied to their desks and are impressing classmates or meeting attendees aplenty.
“The PowerEgg X’s AI video conferencing camera capabilities fit very nicely in the worlds of distance learning, business meetings, job interviews, daily work tasks, and many other activities,” said Wally Zheng, Founder, and CEO of PowerVision. “Its 4k/60fps output and three-axis gimbal produce crystal-clear, stunning 12-megapixel images make it perfect for such applications. When combined with Artificial Intelligence and facial recognition technology, users are no longer stationary and are free to move about while the camera tracks them.”
PowerVision is keenly aware that the COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed the way people live. Dining room tables have become classrooms, small living room corners have been transformed into conference rooms or private offices. Even massive lecture halls and trade show floors have transformed into virtual platforms.
The company’s PowerEgg X – designed to provide quality, ultrahigh-definition images – has been for a while, and remains, at the forefront of video communications.
The PowerEgg X webcam allows fidgety students to fidget, meeting presenters to walk freely about in discussing visual aids and gives meeting attendees the ability to get up and stretch or move around without disappearing off camera. Its special facial recognition, deep learning, and a tracking field of view up to 170° keep subjects in the middle of the frame at all times without repositioning the unit.
Users who find their hands full can begin or end their video participation with a simple hand or body gesture. Through deep learning, based on a database of gestures, the PowerEgg X supports multi-gesture intelligent recognition for a variety of functions.
In addition to the AI video conferencing camera mode, PowerEgg X also includes Autonomous Personal AI Camera, Handheld Gimbal Camera, or Smart Drone modes. In drone mode, the PowerEgg X is a professional tool for aerial photography and videography. The drone features a flight time of 30 minutes, automatic obstacle avoidance, precise landing, intelligent flight modes, wind speed resistance up to 20 knots (19-24 mph), 1080P image transmission within a distance of 3.7 miles, and much more. With additional accessories, the drone can also fly in rain, land and take off from water – making it the only camera users will need regardless of where their adventures take them.
Three years in development and with over 100 technology patents, the PowerEgg X is truly a one-of-a-kind, multipurpose smart device.
Pricing and Availability
The PowerEgg X with AI video conferencing camera mode starts with an MSRP of $899 and is available at BestBuy.com, B&H Photo, Amazon.com, Powervision.me, and PowerVision dealers.

AI and Machine Learning Algorithms are Increasingly being Used to Identify Fraudulent …
The retail banking sector has been hit with numerous scams during the past few years. Cybercriminals are now also beginning to increasingly go after much larger corporate accounts by launching sophisticated malware and phishing attacks, according to Beate Zwijnenberg, chief information security officer at ING Group.
Zwijnenberg recommends using advanced AI defense systems to identify potentially fraudulent transactions which may not be immediately recognizable by human analysts.
Financial institutions across the globe have been spending a lot of money to deal with serious cybersecurity threats.
They’ve been using static, rules-based verification processes to identify suspicious activity. They’ve also been using more advanced biometric authentication methods. Banks throughout the world keep looking for better or more efficient ways to ensure that their platforms remain secure, while trying to lower the costs involved with maintaining a high level of security.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are now being used to analyze thousands of transactions in real-time. These advanced technologies allow security professionals to quickly and accurately check for potentially fraudulent activities. In many cases, cybersecurity experts are able to take action before bad actors can carry out fraudulent transactions.
As reported by PYMNTS, Amsterdam’s ING Group, which manages nearly a trillion euros in assets, has been using AI/ML tech to protect its platform against attacks from cybercriminals.
Zwijnenberg told the news outlet:
“The real-time aspect of online fraud means that you need to intervene immediately because otherwise, the money is transferred and it’s gone for good. So, the real-time element [of artificial intelligence] is quite important.”
She added:
“Fraudsters are after the data or the money, but until recently, the techniques had not changed. If you have a traditional bank branch, they try to get into the safe and physically get the money out, and for digital banks, it’s not much different. It is only the modus operandi that has changed.”
Zwijnenberg revealed that cybercriminals are increasingly targeting wholesale banking and are consistently applying the same phishing techniques to different types of customers. She confirmed that phishing scams are the most common in both business banking and wholesale banking. Identity theft has also become a major problem, Zwijnenberg noted.
She explained that using machine learning algorithms is a good idea when the amount of data is “becoming bigger and bigger over time.” She added that it’s like finding “the needle in the haystack, and you benefit from applying AI and ML to make sure that you really only look into the specific areas that call for it.”
Banks and government offices were recently targeted by malicious malware (a P2P botnet) which had maliciously mined privacy-oriented cryptocurrency Monero (XMR) by hogging the computing resources of targeted computers.
Cyberattacks in the UK and the US have increased as more consumers and businesses conduct financial transactions online.
Last month, over 300,000 potentially fraudulent sites with fake celeb endorsements were identified by the UK’s National Cyber Security Center, with half of them being related to cryptocurrency.
