Many makers are taking their projects to the next level with AI cameras these days. We have already covered a bunch of them that can be easily programmed for robots and other projects. The reCamera Gimbal 2002w AI Camera is also worth a look. It runs Linux and has an adjustable yaw and pitch (360 and 180-degree respectively). This particular version has a WiFi module and runs YOLO models. It has 64GB of storage space. reCamera outputs data in RTSP, HTTP and other common protocols, so you can easily stream it to various platforms.
This camera has a dual-axis motorized mount with 2 brushless motors for movement. It can track humans and count them. It also supports common gestures. It has 4 YOLO models for object classification/detection, pose detection and instance segmentation. Since it has a modular design, you can swap parts to further experiment. For example, you can get one with a 1/2.9” CMOS sensor that supports changing lenses. You have the option to train and deploy your own models on this camera. Developers can use something like this for object tracking, fall detection, parking occupancy detection, and pose estimation for fitness applications.
