Shenmu, led by Yang Zuoxing, specializes in low-power intelligent vision chips, achieving significant power consumption reductions for cameras, enabling wire-free operation. The company believes these cameras are crucial for providing real-time physical world data to large AI models and sees opportunities in inference computing power. Shenmu has developed a series of products based on its chips, including intelligent pan-tilt cameras and parking recorders, some powered by 1-watt solar panels.
Shenmu is pushing camera hardware away from wired installation and toward low-power, wire-free deployment, with a second-generation chip that it says cuts power to one-tenth of the industry average. That matters because the company is tying camera economics to AI inference and physical-world data collection, while also showing how custom chip design can translate into productized devices like the DC1 parking recorder and BC7 solar camera. The next signal to watch is whether Shenmu can extend this power profile across CIS, PMU, Wi-Fi, and 4G, as it says the whole system must hit the same one-tenth target.
