✨ What's reCamera?

reCamera is a combination of a processor and a camera sensor.

This combination makes reCamera a standalone system that can handle basic detection and control tasks on its own.

The first reCamera series - reCamera SG2002 is an open-source and tiny size AI camera, programmable and customizable, powered by an RISC-V SoC, delivering on-device 1 TOPS AI performance with video encoding 5MP @30 FPS. The modular hardware design and expandable interfaces offers the most versatile platform for developers building vision AI systems.

💡 Why we make reCamera?

Today, as processors (both SOC and MCU) are becoming smaller and more powerful, it is now possible to combine the processor with camera sensors. In fact, many IPCs (IP cameras) are already using this design to accelerate AI detection on edge devices.

So today, we introduce reCamera, an open-source camera platform for everyone to play with. We have divided this project into 3 interchangeable parts:

• Core Board
• Sensor Board
• Base Board

This design allows you to easily change the interfaces and camera sensors to suit your needs. We hope that these components can be freely combined in any way.

By building this hardware platform and ecosystem, we enable other applications to grow on this platform without the need to worry about changing from one platform to another in the future.

The engineering focus on modularity, high performance, and ease of use ensures that reCamera serves as a powerful platform for developers and makers. This design streamlines complex hardware processes, allowing users to integrate vision AI capabilities into their systems efficiently and creatively.

We've taken care of the intricate hardware work, freeing up time for user innovation. The modular design enables users to rapidly switch cameras and customize interfaces, transforming development from months to weeks only!

🚀 Launch Notification--reCamera POE&&GC2053--Expected to Launch Within 2025 Q3

🛒reCamera POE and a new Sensor board are coming soon.

We launched a POE base board and a GC2053 sensor-integrated device. Of course, we will also sell POE module and the new Sensor module separately, the new module is adapted to the Core board, you can freely match according to your needs.

GC2053 is used in the Sensor module, and considering the user's feedback on the unclear imaging of the ov5647 Sensor, we choose a light sensor with a larger Optical Format and Pixel Size.

⚙️ Features:

POE module We adjusted the placement of the type-c port and the POE port so that they were opened on either side to avoid interference between the 1/2.5-inch ports. Due to the high heat generation of the POE module, we installed a large passive heat dissipation fin at the back end. The thickness of the module including the housing is up to 28mm. The user needs to take this thickness into account for installation.

Don’t miss out on the first open-source AI camera gimbal with 360° yaw & 180° pitch coverage!

📲 Follow Seeed Studio official website for updates and technical resources.

The reCamera gimbal 2002 series is the first open-source camera control system, composed of one tiny AI camera - reCamera 2002w 8GB/64GB, and one compatible 2-Axis gimbal basement with 2 brushless motors. It is powered by an RISC-V SoC, providing 1 TOPS AI performance with video encoding at 5MP @ 30 FPS. It offers a Lego-like self-assembly package and integrates the Sensecraft AI platform and Node-RED platform for smooth graphical programming and pipeline construction, enabling rapid self-training, model conversion, and deployment of AI models such as Yolo v5/v8/11.
