This week at embedded world in Nuremberg, Germany, Micron announced that it is sampling the world's first 1.5TByte microSD card for embedded video and AI applications. The i400 industrial microSD card uses the world's first 176-layer 3D NAND memory and is designed for industrial-grade video security.

According to eeNews, in-vehicle in-car cameras, smart home security, police cameras, and artificial intelligence cameras in factories all require storage that can handle media-rich data, so 1.5Tbyte capacity is required to store video locally for up to 4 months or 120 days Secure media that enables users to optimize data stored in the cloud.

Unlike consumer-grade memory that can fail in industrial environments and cause critical data loss or interrupt operations, the i400 provides long product life and reliability for industrial applications, and can handle concurrent 4K video recordings at up to 8 For each AI event, such as license plate, face recognition and other target detection and classification, the average failure MTBF is 2m hours.

"With cutting-edge devices generating critical insights for everything from public safety, automotive autonomy and manufacturing operations, today's smart applications cannot compromise on latency or quality," said Kris Baxter, vice president and general manager of Micron's Embedded Business Unit. Micron's latest high-performance, rugged solution, our i400 microSD video security card, will unlock new value for businesses and drive the rapid innovation needed at the intelligent frontier."

Micron is understood to be offering i400 microSD cards to customers including Verkada, a provider of cloud-managed enterprise building security.
