CamThink NeoEyes NE302 is a tiny WiFi 6 Edge AI camera based on an STM32N6 Arm Cortex-M55 MCU with Neural-ART NPU which the company says is “especially suitable for developers and makers”.
I initially thought about it as a smaller version of the CamThink NeoEyes NE301 based on the same STM32N6 MCU and 4MP OS04C10 camera sensor. But it’s quite a different device. First, it doesn’t have a battery, and the USB-C is only used for power. Memory and storage capacities have been reduced to 32 MB PSRAM and 64 MP SPI flash, and a range of built-in and optional features have been removed, including 4G LTE module (global or US), audio wafers, PIR motion connector, and a 16-pin GPIO header, as well as support for PoE power.
