MaixCAM is a hardware product designed for better implementation of AI vision, auditory, and AIOT applications. It is a platform that can quickly verify product prototypes and quickly mass-produce. It provides a powerful and cost-effective processor, matching cameras, screens, WiFi, etc., as well as a complete and very easy-to-use software ecosystem.
Powerful AI Processing: MaixCAM is equipped with a 1GHz RISC-V C906 processor and a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) capable of 1 TOPS@INT8, which supports a variety of AI models including Mobilenetv2, YOLOv5, and YOLOv8.
Versatile Hardware Integration: The device includes 256MB DDR3 memory, storage options via TF card or SD NAND boot, a high-definition 2.3-inch IPS capacitive touch screen, and support for up to 5M pixel cameras, making it suitable for a wide range of AI vision and auditory applications.
Robust Connectivity: With an onboard Wi-Fi6 + BLE5.4 module and a Type-C USB2.0 port, MaixCAM offers strong wireless and wired connectivity options, enhancing its usability in various IoT and AIOT projects.
Intuitive Software Ecosystem: MaixCAM comes with MaixPy, a Python development package optimized for the device, MaixVision for AI vision development, and MaixHub, an online AI model training platform, which simplifies the development process and lowers the entry barrier for users.
Modular and Extensible: The MaixCAM features a range of I/O interfaces including I2C, SPI, UART, ADC, PWM, WDT, and a 14-pin 2.54mm pitch header, allowing for easy integration with breadboards and other external components, making it highly adaptable for prototyping and innovative projects.
