The RSL10 Smart Shot Color Camera is a complete node-to-cloud solution platform for vision IoT applications that require always on, multi-year battery life with Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity. Allowing OEMs to design low power cameras with triggered image capture and cloud-based processing, the platform offers the same features as the RSL10 Smart Shot Camera in a smaller form-factor with extended battery life and support for color and mono imaging.
The RSL10 Smart Shot Color Camera includes color and mono IAS image sensor modules, both based on the ARX3A0 CMOS image sensor. Alongside the modules, the platform features a variety of environmental sensors (accelerometer, motion, temperature and humidity) which can be used to trigger event-based image capture (e.g., object detection, temperature change). This allows the platform to capture only required images, helping to reduce data sent to cloud and preserving energy consumption and overall solution cost.
The impressive low-power operation of the RSL10 SIP and ARX3A0 is complemented by a dedicated FAN53880 Power Management IC (PMIC) and additional smart power management modes implemented in hardware. Other devices enabling the efficient power management are the NCP705 low Iq current linear dropout regulator and the NCP1421 ultra-Low Iq boost regulator, when camera board supplied from primary battery.
The RSL10 SIP allows captured images and sensor data to be sent to the provided RSL10 Smart Shot mobile app (available on GooglePlay™, iOS®). Using the app, developers can control the camera, program trigger conditions, and capture and store the images. The app is also connected to the Amazon Rekognition™ AI cloud service. This feature is capable of detecting and identifying objects within a captured image, along with the list of identified objects and confidence levels.
