OAK-1 Fixed Focus OV9782

OAK-1 is an 12MP AI camera that features on-device Neural Network inferencing and Computer Vision capabilities. It can capture high-resolution images, run custom AI models, and perform advanced computer vision tasks. It uses USB-C for both power and USB3 connectivity.

For a smooth getting started experience with the USB camera, we recommend following USB deployment guide.

RVC2 architecture on-board features:

• 4 TOPS of processing power (1.4 TOPS for AI - RVC2 NN Performance)
• Run any AI model, even custom architectured/built ones (models need to be converted)
• Encoding: H.264, H.265, MJPEG - 4K/30FPS, 1080P/60FPS
• Computer vision: warp (undistortion), resize, crop via ImageManip node, edge detection, feature tracking. You can also run custom CV functions
• Object tracking: 2D tracking with ObjectTracker node

• Power consumption up to 5W. For more information check the technical specification.

• Industrial grade aluminum housing with Front Gorilla Glass
• 1/4" tripod mount

• Dimensions: 36x54.5x27.8 mm
• Weight: 53.1g

 Technical Specifications

Camera Specifications

Available in three variants:

The OAK-1 is available in three camera variants: standard versions IMX378 Fixed-Focus and IMX378 Auto-Focus and special version OV9782 Fixed-Focus. The Fixed-Focus variant has the lens fixed in place mechanically, whereas the Auto-Focus has an electromagnet that controls the lens position dynamically. All variants can clearly see objects 50 cm and beyond.

• Auto-Focus cameras are recommended for close objects between 8 cm to 50 cm of the device (see video). They can also be manually set to a specific focus position utilizing the DepthAI API.
• Fixed-Focus cameras are recommended for heavy-vibration applications, such as drones, lawnmowers, or vehicles (see video).
• OV9782 based fixed focus cameras feature a special global shutter sensor.

Do you need a Wide FOV option? Check: OAK-1-W. If you need higher resolution you can check OAK-1-MAX based on 32MP IMX582.

Power and connectivity

Connectivity

Camera offers USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen1, 5 Gbps) for power and connectivity.

Power consumption

Most of the power is consumed by the RVC2, so the power consumption mostly depends on the workload of the VPU:

• Base consumption + camera streaming: 2.5W - 3W
• AI subsystem consumption: Up to 1W
• Stereo depth pipeline subsystem: Up to 0.5W
• Video Encoder subsystem: Up to 0.5W

So the total power consumption can be up to ~5W if you are using all the features at 100% at the same time. To reduce the power consumption, you can reduce FPS of the whole pipeline - that way, subsystems won’t be utilized at 100% and will consume less power.

Operating characteristics

Temperature

The ambient operating temperature of RVC2 based devices is between -20°C and 50°C when fully utilizing the VPU. To find out more, see our operating temperature range documentation.
