Anfractuosity built a hyperspectral camera, the Waverider, using a miniature USB spectrometer, a stepper-driven x-y stage, and a Raspberry Pi Pico. It scans spectra one pixel at a time, taking nearly 19 hours for a 400x400 image but capturing more than just RGB values per pixel.
Hup is an AI home assistant that watches out for you, offering visual task recognition, reminders, and configuration to your needs. It detects clutter, identifies safety hazards, checks on family members/pets, creates tasks automatically, sends real-time reminders, tracks habits, and integrates with Hup Cameras.
Adafruit showcases the Raspberry Pi cam combined with the MLX90640 IR camera to create a budget fusion thermal camera. Featuring solderless components, this build is also beginner-friendly.
Petlibro has launched the Scout Smart Camera, an AI-powered pet camera that tracks pet activities (eating, drinking, litter box use, walking) and provides descriptive notifications. It recognizes multiple pets, stores clips in the cloud, and allows device sharing. It's priced at $100 with subscription options for AI features, and Petlibro plans to integrate AI with other products like feeders and fountains.

These cameras feature onboard AI acceleration for computer vision applications, making them suitable for various Edge AI tasks. The AE3 is a compact, efficient device with dual NPU cores, while the N6 offers higher performance with a larger form factor and more features.
The ESP32-S3 IR Thermal Imaging Camera Module is a wireless IR thermal imaging camera based on the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 chip, featuring 80x62 array pixels and supporting 45°/90° FOV. It integrates a recharge and discharge circuit with onboard Lithium battery header for flexible power supply.
Waveshare has launched an ESP32-S3-based thermal imaging camera module with 80x62 resolution, offering both 45° and 90° wide angle versions. The module includes a USB-C port, expansion pads, and supports WiFi and Bluetooth LE.
An article discussing the author's experience with the Rollei 35T camera, focusing on its suitability for hiking and the quality of its pictures in both black and white and color film.
A technique called lock-in thermography can enhance the thermal resolution of even low-cost IR cameras, allowing for more detailed thermal imaging by periodically modulating the heat produced by a device and applying math to the captured images.
