Introducing Intelligent Luxonis Cameras

Introducing Intelligent Luxonis Cameras

Artificial intelligence is beginning to cement its role in technological applications and systems right across the industry. And as it mimics and surpasses human intelligence, the market is calling for innovation. Enter Luxonis – a spatial AI and CV platform that focuses on embedded machine learning and computer vision technology.
Luxonis is based in Westminster, Colorado and we’re proud to be their UK distributor, bringing innovative and transformative products for industrial applications to the UK market.

Why Luxonis?

Luxonis cameras are the new generation of intelligent cameras that we are confident will change the landscape of industrial imaging technology. To have a camera that processes on-device is truly groundbreaking, and their depth perception can’t be beaten. These kinds of innovative products didn’t exist in the market until now, so the collection completes our product range at Scorpion Vision.

The Luxonis Mission:

“Our mission is to improve the engineering efficiency of embedding performant, spatial AI + CV into products. We do this by building and maintaining the open-source DepthAI ecosystem and Hub management platform. In other words, we build the core technology that allows human-like perception in real products…”

Before you pore over our entire product range, we’ve created a simple summary of our Luxonis products to help you narrow down your search.

Luxonis OAK cameras

The OAK cameras are ideal for a wide range of applications including robotics, augmented reality, and object detection. They allow you to create intelligent and responsive systems that can operate autonomously in various environments. The cameras within the OAK range come in variations: most often Lite, W, PoE and Pro.
We’ll explain each one in more detail, but here’s a quick summary:

  • Lite – a lighter, budget-friendlier version.
  • PoE – Power over Ethernet connection
  • W – wide lens
  • Pro – features active stereo

OAK-D

Starting with the OAK-D which is the first camera in this range. It’s a powerful stereo camera used for robotic vision as it features human-like depth perception. 4 TOPS of processing power, two greyscale sensors for stereo depth, and a single centre colour sensor. This camera also features on-device Neural Network inferencing and Computer Vision capabilities. The OAK-D uses a 1-metre USB-C cable.

£208.00

OAK-D PRO:

The main difference of the OAK-D Pro version is its inclusion of active stereo. We recommend this version for environments with low-light and texture-less scenes that usually prove a struggle for traditional passive stereo approaches. The IR dot projector improves depth perception by projecting thousands of IR dots to the scene.

£291.00

OAK-D S2:

The OAK-D S2 is the Series 2 version of the OAK-D. The main difference is that OAK-D S2 has a smaller enclosure and is therefore lighter.

£208.00

OAK-D Lite:

The OAK-D-Lite is essentially the budget-friendly version of the OAK-D camera because it’s smaller, lighter, and uses less power. For applications that don’t require as much power as is offered in the previous variations, the OAK-D Lite is recommended.

£124.00

OAK-D PoE:

As the name suggests, this camera uses a PoE connection which enables the cameras to communicate with other computers using networking protocols such as TCP, UDP, HTTP, MQTT etc. For projects that would otherwise be restricted by the limitations of USB-C connection, OAK PoE cameras are ideal because they’re housed in a rugged, IP-rated enclosure that is required for industrial and outdoor use.

£333.00

OAK-D W and OAK-D W PoE:

These variations include all the features listed above in the OAK-D and OAK-D PoE, with the addition of a Wide Field of View to ensure you’re capturing all the important features with enough detail.

OAK-D W: £291.00 OAK-D W PoE: £417.00

OAK-1

Moving on to the OAK-1, a 12MP AI camera with built-in computer vision and neural network inferencing. It takes high-resolution pictures, runs personalised AI models, and carries out complex computer vision operations. The OAK-1 provides RVC2 core processing capacity in the smallest possible form. This camera is our recommendation for applications where depth perception isn’t needed. It also uses USB-C connectivity.

£124.00

OAK-1 Lite:

As is standard with the Lite models, this version is designed as a lightweight version of the OAK-1.

£83.00

OAK-1 PoE:

This is the PoE ruggedised version of the OAK-1. It has an IP67-rated enclosure designed to withstand harsh environments and an RJ45 ethernet connector used for both power and communication.

£250.00

OAK-1 W, OAK-1 Lite W and OAK-1 W PoE:

These variations include all the features of the OAK-1, OAK-1 Lite and OAK-1 PoE, with the addition of a Wide Field of View.

OAK-1 W: £166.00 OAK-1 Lite W: £124.00 OAK-1 W PoE: £291.00

OAK-FFC

Moving away from cameras, we’ve got the OAK-FFC prototyping platform. The OAK-FFC is compatible with Raspberry Pi, removing the need for an industrial PC. It also allows you to connect any FFC camera modules. The OAK-FFC has built-in computer vision and neural network inferencing functionalities and enables you to connect to several cameras, depending on the variant, ranging from 1-6 cameras. The 5 variants are 2 PoE versions, and 3 non-PoE versions.

£208.00

OAK-D CM4

Here we have a combination of the OAK-D and the Raspberry Pi CM4 module, functioning as a sophisticated host computer. This product assists developers with a robust platform for computer vision applications.

£333.00

OAK-D CM4 PoE

This ruggedised version of the OAK-D CM4 uses PoE, enabling the cameras to communicate with other computers using networking protocols such as TCP, UDP, HTTP, MQTT etc.

£417.00
