1. Product Introduction
1.1 Overview
SenseCAP A1101 LoRaWAN Vision AI Sensor combines TinyML AI technology and
LoRaWAN long-range transmission to enable a low-power, high-performance AI
device solution for both indoor and outdoor use.
This sensor features Himax's high-performance, low-power AI vision solution which
supports the Google TensorFlow Lite framework and multiple TinyML AI platforms.
Different models can implement different AI functions, for example, people counting,
object recognition, meter recognition, etc. Users are able to adopt models provided by
native firmware, or train and generate their own models through AI training tools, or
procure deployable, commercial models from third-party model providers.
With the IP66 rating, -40 ~ +85C ° operating temperature, built-in 19Ah high-capacity
battery and devices’ low power consumption, the A1101 sensor can operate in harsh
outdoor environments for up to 10 years with a range of up to 10km. The built-in
Bluetooth facilitates setup and greatly reduces large-scale deployment costs. Users
can focuson application development with the easyset-up and start retrieving data in
