RSL10 Smart Shot Camera
Getting Started Guide
Overview
The RSL10 Smart Shot Camera (SECO-RSL10-CAM-GEVB) is a complete node-to-cloud platform that enables smart image
capture for portable, low duty cycle IoT applications including asset monitoring and security. Based on the RSL10 SIP and
the ARX3A0 CMOS image sensor, the platform features multiple trigger modes including time, motion detection, and
environmental sensor triggers (e.g., changes in temperature and humidity).
The RSL10 SIP serves as the processing hub of the camera, enabling Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity of captured
image and sensor data to the provided mobile app (available on GooglePlay™, iOS®).
This guide provides initial instructions for using the RSL10 Smart Shot Camera and accompanying mobile application. For
further information about the platform, refer to the platform’s User Manual (EVBUM2782).
Hardware Set-up
To get started with the platform, remove theprotective layer from the camera module (1) and connect the provided USB cable
to your PC’s USB port (2). A green LED, shown in Figure 1 below, will begin blinking to confirm that the device is ready
and in Advertising Mode.

Installing the RSL10 Smart Shot Mobile App
In order to operate the board, download RSL10 Smart Shot mobile app from GooglePlay™ or iOS®. After installing the app,
ensure that Bluetooth and GPS are enabled on your phone. Select the icon to launch the application. The following sections
detail how to send images from the Camera to the app over Bluetooth Low Energy, as well as other functions of the app
including sending wireless firmware updates (FOTA).

Capture Image

After the camera is connected, the app will switch to the image capture page in Figure 3. Select the Camera icon to instruct
the camera to take a picture. The image from the camera is transferred over Bluetooth Low Energy and is displayed on the
screen. To save the image on your mobile phone, select the middle Save icon. On an Android phone, the image is stored in
RSL10Smartshot directory. On a iPhone, the image is stored in your Photos directory.

Capture Stream of Images
The camera also can capture stream of images with different frame rates. Select the Settings icon to switch from
Single Image Mode to Stream Mode. You can also adjust the Frame Rate from <1 frame/second to 1 frame/minute.

Setting Event Triggers
The RSL10 Smart Shot Camera supports four environmental sensors, which are used to trigger image capture when a
change in value is detected.
To set or change the triggers, select the Settings icon. You can turn the triggers ON or OFF, and set the minimum and
maximum thresholds of temperature and humidity sensors. You can enable either individual sensor or a combination
of sensors to set your trigger condition for image capture.
Figure 6. Environmental Trigger Settings
Exit the Settings menu by tapping the bottom of the screen. The RSL10 Smart Shot Camera will be armed and
capture an image each time event conditions are triggered. The captured image along with the triggered
event condition will be displayed on the screen.

Object recognition using Amazon Rekognition
The mobile app uses Amazon Rekognition cloud engine to analyze the image and identify objects within it. The image
for analysis is uploaded to the cloud engine, and results are displayed on the app. More information about the Amazon
Rekognition setup is available in the RSL10 Smart Shot Camera User Manual (EVBUM2782).
You should specify your AWS account credentials to use this feature. Select the Settings icon -> AWS Account on the
Home Screen.
Figure 8. Accessing Amazon Rekognition

Enter the accessKey and secretKey associated with your AWS account and click Use. After logging in, you
can use the Face icon shown below to analyze pictures captured with the RSL10 Smart Shot Camera.

Firmware over the Air (FOTA) Updates
The RSL10 Smart Shot Camera supports wireless firmware updates using the RSL10 Bluetooth 5 radio.
To begin, you will need the following:
•Install the RSL10 FOTA mobile app (available on GooglePlay™, iOS®).
•Download the smartshot_demo_cam.fota image file
Note: FOTA only updates the RSL10 image. To update the Image Sensor Processor firmware (SPCV1100A) refer RSL10
Smart Shot Camera User Manual (EVBUM2782).
To send FOTA updates to the RSL10 Smart Shot Camera, push the PB1 button on the platform. The green LED will light up,
and your board will switch to FOTA Mode. The platform will then be discoverable on the RSL10 FOTA app.

After selecting the device on the mobile app, you can update the firmware by clicking Select File to import the new
firmware. Click Connect and Update to send the firmware to the device.
