Technical Specifications

Camera Specifications

The OAK-1 Lite is available in two variants: Fixed-Focus and Auto-Focus. These variants differ only in the configuration of the center color camera. The Fixed-Focus variant has the lens fixed in place mechanically, whereas the Auto-Focus has an electromagnet that controls the lens position dynamically. Both 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 ). 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 ).

If you need better sensor, you can choose IMX378 based or 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.
