Solution Overview

This AI Camera solution is designed for edge AI vision use cases such as face recognition, license plate recognition, people counting, and industrial inspection. Based on the RK3576 System-on-Module (SOM), the design offers efficient NPU inference, multi-MIPI ISP support, and flexible I/O for fast integration and production.


Key Features

  • 6T NPU for efficient on-device AI inference (RKNN supported).

  • Single / Dual MIPI CSI camera inputs and optimized ISP for low-light & WDR scenarios.

  • Industrial-grade reliability: -20°C ~ +70°C operating range and EMC-ready design.

  • Flexible I/O: MIPI CSI, USB3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, UART, I2C, SPI, GPIO headers.

  • Complete Linux / Android SDK.

  • OEM / ODM ready: board design, mechanical drawings and certification assistance.


Applications

Suitable for smart cameras, industrial inspection, people counting, license plate recognition, and other edge AI solutions.


Typical Applications

Smart Surveillance

Face recognition, perimeter protection, behavior analysis and alarm triggering.

Industrial Vision

Defect detection, assembly verification and inline inspection with local AI inference.

Smart Retail

Customer counting, heatmaps and product analytics for store insights.

Smart Home & Access

Face access control, home security camera and visitor detection.
