We've been receiving numerous feedback and suggestions from users regarding the first-generation reCamera. Indeed, during our use of the first generation, we occasionally encountered areas where the user experience wasn't yet sufficiently friendly.

Therefore, before finalizing the form factor of the second generation, we will continue to conduct ongoing testing and development and update our test logs here on a regular basis.

We often encounter difficulties when using the reCamera 2002w:

1. Obtaining the IP address during initial setup – For example, immediately after connecting the Ethernet cable to the reCamera.
2. Verifying real-time configuration – Such as confirming whether the current resolution, frame rate (FPS), and video recording status are functioning as intended.
3. Monitoring the camera’s field of view – When mounted in inaccessible locations (e.g., a ceiling corner), it is impossible to simultaneously view the live feed via a web interface.

To address these issues, we have decided to integrate a small SPI display (not the Raspberry Pi screen) into our next-generation reCamera hardware.

We tested two different size display (1.69 and 1.47 inch), and designed a simple UI on it.

First-gen reCamera

Core Board V1

So far, we have launched reCamera Core powered by RISC-V SOC SG2002. In addition to the onboard eMMC, there is also an onboard wireless solution ready for use. The wireless module, along with the onboard antenna, could provide you with basic Wi-Fi/BLE connection ability.

The difference between C1_2002W and C1_2002 is whether there is an onboard WIFI chip. They are from the same PCB design. The difference is that C1_2002 does not attach the Wi-Fi module.

Below are the introductions to these two core boards.

The schematic is as below:

Sensor Board V1

The sensor board we have currently developed is the OV5647.

Base Board V1

So far, we have developed two types of baseboards, B101_Default and B401_CAN. B401_CAN supports CAN communication and allows for the connection of more accessories, for example, you can connect a gimbal to achieve 360° yaw rotation full coverage and 180° pitch range from floor to ceiling.
