# Smart Camera

This document explains how to quickly build your own **IPC panel mini app** for smart cameras based on the `Tuya Mini App` framework.


## Features

The smart camera category is built on the mini app framework and supports control features for multiple camera types, including:

- Video features: live preview, video playback (cloud playback and SD card playback), recording, and intercom

- DP features: PTZ and favorite points, cruise, privacy mode, and more

It also provides the following value-added services based on AI algorithms:

- Smart notifications

- Video patrol

- Smart cloud storage and more

You can quickly experience IPC panel mini app features through the [Quick Start](/en/miniapp/solution-ai/ability/camera-solution/ipc/quick-start/base) guide below.

## Feature Definition

Camera product features are mainly divided into the following categories:

**Standard features**: Built-in platform features that support configuration and adjustment of basic attributes. For example, infrared night vision (enum type). You can extend enum values on top of supported standard features to implement custom functionality and expose it through a customized panel.

**Custom features**: You can add custom function points (DPs) based on business needs and control them through the panel for more flexible product design.

**Advanced features**: Fixed value-added capabilities built into the solution. You must enable the required items before they can be used normally.

Product features are bound to product solutions. Based on the chosen solution, you can use [IoT Platform](https://platform.tuya.com/pmg/solution) to create products, bind features, and bind panels.
