Low-power wireless camera reference design for extended battery life

Description

This reference design provides a solution for a battery-operated wireless camera by combining industry-leading image processing: connectivity: sensor and power. High-efficiency power converters along with optimized system architecture help to increase battery life. The imageprocessor with a Wi-Fi® connectivity device enables secure high-quality live video streaming and two-way audio streaming with noise reduction and echo cancellation. The design includes infrared (IR) LED and IR cut filters to enable night vision capability.

Features
  • Full camera reference design to reduce new product development cycleIntegrates ambient light sensing: IR LED driver: and motorized IR cut filter for day and night visionSimpleLink Wi-Fi connectivity over 802.11 A: B: G and N networks from any smart phone: tablet: or computer over local network: concurrent multiprotocol for both sub-1 GHz and 2.4 GHzPower tree to support either USB or battery; low-power architecture using efficient DC/DC converters for longer battery lifeMultiple options for camera wakeup: PIR: sub-1 GHz: or doorbellWi-Fi devices complement low-power architecture: at least 50% lower current consumption during beacon and at least 30% lower current consumption during video streaming
