The RSL10 Smart Shot Camera is a complete node-to-cloud platform that enables smart image capture for portable, low duty cycle IoT applications including asset monitoring and security. Based on the RSL10 SIP and ARX3A0 CMOS image sensor, the platform features multiple trigger modes including time, motion detection, and environmental sensor triggers (e.g. changes in temperature and humidity).

The RSL10 SIP serves as the processing hub of the camera, enabling Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity of captured image and sensor data to the provided mobile app (available on GooglePlay™, iOS®).

Using the app, developers can access a variety of features including cloud connectivity, remote configuration of sensors (thresholds and default settings), and change the image capture trigger modes. Connected to an Image Analytics/AI engine, located in the cloud, the app is capable of detecting and identifying objects using an AI cloud service. The mobile application returns the captured image, along with the list of identified objects and confidence levels.

The platform features the ARX3A0 Mono 65° DFOV IAS Module, a compact design form-factor used for developing compact cameras with 360 fps mono imaging based on the ARX3A0 CMOS image sensor. ARX3A0 offers high sensitivity at both visible and NIR wavelength, and has a super low power mode that consumes 3.2 mW when active. Additionally, ARX3A0 can be programmed to monitor specific zones of its field of view, automatically taking an image when the scene's contents change. Embedded on the platform hardware, the SPCV1100A from SunplusIT® provides multiple color processing features and JPEG image compression.

The impressive low-power operation of the RSL10 SIP and ARX3A0 is complemented by a dedicated NCP6925 Power Management IC (PMIC) (NCP6925) and additional smart power management modes implemented in hardware. Other devices enabling the efficient power management are the FAN54120 USB-compatible linear Li-Ion battery charger and the FAN49100 ultra-Low Iq buck- boost regulator. Thanks to these features, the RSL10 Smart Shot Camera supports an extended battery lifetime of more than one year.
