AI Camera KM-ES1
Micro Linux edge computer with integrated 4K camera — quad-core RV1126B, 3 TOPS NPU, fanless metal chassis, modular industrial I/O
Despite its name, the AI Camera KM-ES1 is fundamentally a micro Linux computer — a full-stack edge compute node with an integrated 4K camera sensor. At its core is the Rockchip RV1126B SoC running a 1.2GHz quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU with LPDDR4 RAM (2GB / 4GB) and 16GB onboard eMMC storage, booting an Linux OS with SSH access and standard HTTP APIs for programmatic control. Think of it as a rugged, industrial-grade Linux single-board computer that happens to ship with a built-in SC850SL 4K@30FPS image sensor, 6-axis IMU, dual microphones, and a 1W speaker — plus a 3 TOPS NPU for on-device INT8/INT16 AI inference (YOLOv8 at 20 FPS in real time). Connectivity covers Gigabit Ethernet with PoE, Wi-Fi 5.2, Bluetooth 5.2, and full-feature USB Type-C OTG. For industrial integration, the board exposes dual CAN bus, dual GPIO, dual 12–24V DIO, a 22-pin MIPI DSI display interface, and a debug UART, with modular expansion paths to GPS, Wi-Fi HaLow, and RS485. A browser-based Web UI handles video preview, dual-stream H.264 encoding, OSD overlay, RTSP streaming, and recording management (with seven trigger modes and schedule windows) without requiring any client software. Recording triggers include AI inference, timer, GPIO, UART, HTTPS webhook, loop, and sound event detection. AI models — deployed as RKNN blobs or converted from ONNX via SenseCraft — output inference results over HTTP, MQTT, or UART. Power comes from 12–24V DC (5525 barrel) or PoE, with onboard lithium battery charge/discharge management. Housed in a fanless metal chassis, the KM-ES1 runs silently in dusty, high-vibration environments, offering developers a familiar Linux toolchain on a self-contained industrial edge platform.
