Connectivity: LAN, USB, HDMI and microSD interfaces behind the rear panel
Power consumption: 9–20W
Overview
An IP66 waterproof computer for locations without a cabinet
Roadside, building-exterior and industrial camera installations expose computing hardware to dust, rain and water jets. The FM-METIS-66 combines an AI computer and an IP66-rated enclosure in one unit, reducing the need for a separate protective cabinet where site conditions and installation requirements permit.
Its fanless, passive cooling design requires no cooling fans or filters, while rear-panel connections help keep cabling organised. The system operates from 0°C to 60°C at 5% to 95% relative humidity.

Edge AI processing at the camera location
The Axelera Metis AI Processing Unit delivers up to 214 TOPS for computer vision workloads, including object detection, classification, tracking, segmentation and video analytics. A Rockchip RK3588 host processor manages the operating system and supporting applications.
Processing video at the point of capture can reduce the amount of data sent across the network, support local handling of sensitive footage and reduce reliance on continuous connectivity. The system draws 9–20W and runs Yocto-based Linux with Docker support, Arm TrustZone and an onboard watchdog.

Mains power, rear-panel connectivity and flexible storage
The FM-METIS-66 accepts 110–220V AC through an IP68-rated 3-pin Buccaneer 4000 power socket. Rear-panel connectivity includes two Gigabit Ethernet ports with Wake-on-LAN and PXE support, four USB 3.1 ports, one USB-C port, HDMI 2.0 and a microSD slot.
The system includes 16GB LPDDR4X memory and 64GB onboard eMMC storage, with an optional 2.5-inch SATA SSD of up to 8TB. Optional Wi-Fi or 4G/LTE modules fit the internal M.2 slot. Desk and plate mounting options support different installation requirements.

FM-METIS-66: a waterproof AI computer for deployments
The FM-METIS-66 is designed for outdoor and exposed installations where mains power is available. Its sealed IP66 enclosure and fanless design support edge AI computing close to cameras, displays, sensors and other field equipment, without requiring a separate computer enclosure where site conditions permit.
ANPR
Roadside cameras, access barriers and vehicle entry points need computing for automatic number-plate recognition, often in locations exposed to rain, dust and water jets. The FM-METIS-66 combines an IP66-rated enclosure with local AI processing, allowing compatible ANPR workloads to run close to the camera without a separate computer cabinet where site conditions permit.
Logistics, Ports & Air Cargo
Vehicle checkpoints, cargo inspection areas and logistics yards use cameras to monitor movements, verify access and support operational workflows. The FM-METIS-66 brings AI processing to these exposed locations, with a sealed IP66 enclosure, passive cooling and mains power input for fixed installations where computing equipment must operate close to the activity being monitored.
Surveillance
Outdoor surveillance systems need to analyse camera feeds in locations where computers may be exposed to weather and environmental contaminants. The FM-METIS-66 combines Axelera Metis AI acceleration with an IP66-rated, fanless design, supporting local video analytics such as object detection, classification and tracking while reducing reliance on continuous transmission to a central server.

Review the technical specifications, connectivity, power requirements and environmental ratings for the FM-METIS-66. For deployment support, Tranquil Services can help prepare software and configuration, while Tranquil Studio can assess any required hardware adaptations.
Not necessarily. The FM-METIS-66 has an IP66-rated enclosure that is dust-tight and protected against high-pressure water jets, so it can be installed without a separate computer cabinet where the site conditions, mounting and cabling allow.
Yes. The FM-METIS-66 runs AI inference locally on its Axelera Metis AIPU, so analytics continue without a connection to a central server. Remote monitoring and data transfer still depend on network availability.
The FM-METIS-66 takes 110–220 V AC mains, and the FM-METIS-66-12V takes a 12 V DC supply for sites with only low-voltage DC available.
The FM-METIS-66 is built for outdoor and exposed positions, including roadside infrastructure, building exteriors and industrial camera locations. Its stated operating range is 0°C to 60°C, with relative humidity from 5% to 95%. Check the datasheet and your site conditions to confirm suitability.
Through Tranquil Services. Lifecycle services cover extended warranty, spare holding, repair and refurbishment, obsolescence management, and planned technology refresh with secure disposal. Support terms are agreed for each programme.
Yes. A single Metis AIPU can run multiple concurrent video streams and several parallel neural networks, which suits multi-camera analytics. Actual stream counts depend on the models and resolution used.
