Sipeed MaixCAM RISCV AI Camera

Buy the Sipeed MaixCAM to quickly launch AI projects on edge devices

This is a powerful camera with artificial intelligence based on a RISC-V processor and a built-in neural accelerator (NPU). It allows you to run neural networks directly on board without connecting to cloud servers. The device is ideal for recognizing objects, faces, gestures, as well as audio analytics and AIoT tasks. MaixCAM is a turnkey solution for prototyping and mass production.

• Built-in 1 TOPS NPU to run YOLOv5, YOLOv8 and Mobilenetv2.
• 1 GHz RISC-V C906 hybrid processor with optional ARM A53.
• Camera with a resolution of up to 5 MP and a 2.3-inch IPS touch display.
• Built-in WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 modules for wireless data transfer.
• MaixPy ecosystem and online platform for training models without code.

How the Sipeed MaixCAM vision camera works

The device is based on the SOPHGO SG2002 SoC with three cores: a main 1 GHz RISC-V (or ARM A53), a small 700 MHz RISC-V for RTOS and a low-power 8051. The built-in 1 TOPS NPU accelerates the execution of neural networks. The camera captures video and transmits it to the NPU for real-time analysis.

Algorithms recognize objects, faces, gestures and other visual patterns. The results are displayed on the touch display or transmitted via WiFi and Bluetooth. Development is carried out in Python through the MaixPy package with hardware acceleration. For quick deployment, the MaixHub online platform with pre-trained models is available.

Technical characteristics and functionality

The SOPHGO SG2002 SoC includes 1 GHz RISC-V C906 (or ARM A53), 700 MHz RISC-V C906 and 25-300 MHz 8051. The neural processor has 1 TOPS INT8 performance and supports BF16. Models Mobilenetv2, YOLOv5, YOLOv8 and others are supported. The amount of RAM is 256 MB DDR3. The camera supports sensors up to 5 MP, and is officially compatible with the 4 MP GC4653 and OS04A10.

The display has a diagonal of 2.3 inches, a resolution of 552×368 pixels and touch control. The video codec supports H.264/H.265/MJPEG with 2K@30fps recording. Built-in WiFi 6, BLE 5.4, USB Type-C, 14-pin GPIO and a microSD slot. Audio output includes a built-in speaker amplifier up to 1W and a built-in microphone. Power is provided via USB-C.
