1. A camera comprising:
an image obtaining system comprising a lens and a sensor, and configured to obtain an image or video data;
at least one type of embedded processor coupled to the image obtaining system and configured to perform intelligent analysis and processing on the image or the video data, wherein the at least one type of embedded processor comprises a central processing unit (CPU), a digital signal processor (DSP), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or a field-programmable gate array (FPGA);
a communications interface coupled to the at least one type of embedded processor and configured to:
receive, from an external device, configuration information; and
send the configuration information to a target embedded processor of the at least one type of embedded processor according to a requirement of an application scenario, wherein the configuration information is configured to be modified according to the requirement, and wherein the configuration information extends a function of the camera and comprises at least one of:
a deep learning—based neural network model;
location topology information and control information for multi-camera cooperation;
a security control list; or
a control action indication; and
