The Dash Cam Omni has a 140° field-of-view camera, providing drivers with a full 360° view that uses a 2-phase stepper motor to give a 340° swivel for all-around coverage.

Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) to provide drivers with a safer ride

Drivers and car owners would most welcome this safety measure – ADAS to provide drivers with a safer ride. The new Dash Cam Omni is AI-powered and it comes with ADAS that includes features such as front car alert, lane departure, and pedestrian passing alerts, providing drivers with safer rides.

The front car and pedestrian passing features warn riders with an audio notification when they are too close to other vehicles and pedestrians. Lane departure helps keep drivers within their lanes by tracking markings on the road and will inform them with an audio alert if they begin to drift out of the lane.

ADAS is usually found in premium cars, but Omni allows current car owners who do not have ADAS in their cars to enjoy these safety features as well.

Crystal clear recordings

The Dash Cam Omni camera can record at 1080p image resolution with smoother footage up to 60fps, making it perfect for picking up clear footage, especially on fast-moving vehicles.

With an aperture of f/1.5 and PureCel®Plus-S HDR technology, this camera can record clear videos even at night or in low light conditions, like in dark tunnels, giving car owners the assurance that they have well-illuminated footage of the surroundings and front cars’ license plates at all times.

The camera will detect and record up to five seconds prior and 10 seconds after should an accident occur. This aids in providing users, insurance companies, and law enforcement with complete video evidence of an accident.

Round-the-clock protection

There is an option of connecting a hardware kit with the Dash Cam Omni. This would provide power for additional features such as round-the-clock monitoring with time-lapse recording and parking surveillance thanks to AI motion and collision detection.

During parking surveillance mode, the AI detection enables the camera to identify and record (for up to 1 minute) suspicious personnel approaching the vehicle. It will also automatically rotate to the side of the impact if a collision is detected and perform continuous recording for up to 30s.

Connecting to the cloud with 4G

With the 4G hardwire kit, drivers can remotely monitor their vehicles 24/7 by controlling the camera via the 70mai app, which lets them view the interior and area surrounding the car. Users can also sync their recordings to the cloud (1), receive timely app alerts (2) on suspicious activity, and access the built-in GPS capabilities. The GPS helps users locate their vehicle precisely and access their route history via the 70mai app, perfect for finding one’s car in a crowded location.

Control the camera by voice!

To top it off, the Omni brings the fun, where users can use voice commands to ask the dashcam to shoot left/right, or even shoot a 15-second vlog and take a photo.

The Canon PowerShot PICK is small, lightweight and compact in size, with its in-built tripod mount, this makes it very useful in many indoor and outdoor scenarios – whether you are spending time with your family or friends at a gathering or party, or just a day out with the children, or even on the move in a vehicle. You can bring the Canon PowerShot PICK anywhere and everywhere!

“The PowerShot PICK was created with the purpose of discovering new ways to leverage Canon’s expertise on imaging, while gifting our consumers the value-added experience of an image capture device that requires little to no management,” said Mr. Edwin Teoh, Head of Marketing, Singapore Operations, Canon Singapore. “With our advancements in technology and expertise within the area of imaging solutions, we have incorporated Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the PowerShot PICK to generate even greater possibilities. As our technology continue to evolve with the times, the PowerShot PICK is a testament to our unwavering dedication to help consumers better their lives, and now they are able to capture their happiest moments naturally, to reminisce and enjoy their best memories together with family and friends.”

Smile Tracking and Automatic Filtering

Using a unique algorithm that was developed over the years by Canon, the PowerShot  PICK will automatically search for faces of people nearby once it is switched on, adjusting the composition of the shot and shoot based on facial information with its pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) mechanism.

The intelligent technology behind the PowerShot PICK means that it can automatically shoots various scenes where people are smiling, with a variation of compositions. Subsequently, recommended scenes will be filtered from the many images taken, making it even easier to select and decide which images you would like to keep and share, saving time and effort.

Portable, Compact, and Lightweight

Weighing only approximately 170g (including the microSD card) and measuring under 9cm x 6cm in size, the PowerShot PICK can be carried along for use almost anywhere. The PTZ mechanism has a pan direction of maximum approximately ±170 degrees, tilt direction of a maximum approximate of 110 degrees and is capable of up to a maximum of 12x zoom, through a combination of a 3x optical zoom and a 4x digital zoom.

The PowerShot PICK also has a wide-angle coverage of 19mm (in 35mm format equivalent), allowing large group of people to be included within the scene and it works well in small enclosed area. This allows users to place the camera at an easy angle to allow continuous footage shooting without having to worry about adjusting the camera. Up to 5 hours of video recording through the camera’s built-in battery allows the camera to be portable and can be used anywhere. Also, it can be charged via its USB-C port. 

Tracking and Image Stabilisation (IS)

Using Canon’s Nano USM technology, the PowerShot PICK is capable of silent and high-speed tracking, automatically tracking the subject so that the face stays within the angle of view even when the subject moves. The camera effectively suppresses blur by mechanically controlling the rotation angle of the lens barrel, ensuring the user will be able to get the clearest shots available without having to be physically present to ensure that the camera is focusing on the right targets, saving an incredible amount of time and providing tremendous efficiency when it comes to capturing your most memorable moments.

Customised Shooting with a Dedicated Smartphone App 

PowerShot PICK’s dedicated smartphone app (Connect app for Mini PTZ Cam) connects the user to the camera, providing a range of functions such as checking registered people, recommending photos and videos, camera notifications, viewing of captured still images and videos, remote camera control, camera settings, and the ability to generate highlight videos (only for iOS users).

When switched on, the PowerShot PICK searches for people in the surrounding and registers them automatically. Through the dedicated smartphone app, users can assign a name to a registered person and prioritise them by marking them as a “favourite”. Automatic shooting settings can also be customised, such as the search or zoom range preferences, capturing only still photos or both still photos and videos, and shooting period priority versus shooting frequency priority.

Given its small size and in-built tripod mount, there are a wide range of indoor and outdoor scenarios in which the PowerShot PICK can come in handy as it can be mounted on selfie sticks, tripods and even on bicycles or motorcycles, to record unique perspectives and key moments, ensuring that you never lose another precious moment amongst family and friends!

Video content creators would also find the PowerShot PICK helpful in shooting ‘how-to’ videos smoothly, be it in terms of cooking, makeup or even crafting. Through remote shooting, coupled with PTZ features, video expression can be expanded, and touch tracking can also be achieved via the app when used with the remote control functionality.

For important events such as weddings or concerts, the PowerShot PICK can also serve as a “B-cam” to capture behind-the-scenes (BTS) activities, such as the preparation process and the expressions of the audience.

Voice Commands and Webcam Support

Among the extensive features available on the PowerShot PICK, it also allows users to operate the camera through voice commands on four distinct functions – still photo shooting, changing subjects, starting of video recording, and stopping automatic shooting. This is all possible with the camera alone, without needing any cloud communication or wireless/wired connectivity.

The PowerShot PICK also supports seven languages, including English, Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. The camera also comes with webcam support, via the installation of the Wireless Webcam Utility for Mini PTZ Cam (a windows only PC app). The camera can be placed anywhere since it connects to the PC wirelessly and users are able to transfer camera images to the PC anywhere in real time. PTZ control of the camera and automatic tracking settings can also be changed from the application software.

Pricing and Availability

The PowerShot PICK is priced at $649 and will be available from November 2021 at Canon authorised dealers.
