Battery-Powered Camera with AI Object Detection & Motion Sensing

Overview

Description

There is a growing market need for applications such as smart home security, outdoor monitoring, and wearable action cameras to be energy-efficient, smart, and responsive. This battery-powered camera with AI object detection and motion sensing is a next-generation motion camera that enables edge AI object detection and classification. It features an optimized boot and power scheme to ensure long battery life.

The system remains off until motion is detected, significantly reducing power consumption. Upon detection, it captures an image within 500ms and completes a full Linux boot in 3 seconds, quickly initiating AI analysis for fast and efficient object classification.

System Benefits:

  • The "always off" system (except for the motion sensor and MCU) promotes energy efficiency and conserves battery life.
  • Fast boot time (90% reduction compared to traditional Linux systems) enhances camera responsiveness.
  • Advanced AI processing utilizes the DRP-AI hardware accelerator for fast, low-power object detection and classification, making object detection more efficient and effective.
