The OAK-1 PoE is an 12MP AI camera that features on-device Neural Network inferencing and Computer Vision capabilities. It can capture high-resolution images, run custom AI models, and perform advanced computer vision tasks. It uses PoE for both power and GigE connectivity.
PoE connection allows cameras to communicate to other computers via networking protocols (TCP, UDP, HTTP, MQTT, etc.). As our PoE models feature device flash memory, you can also run your programs in standalone mode. OAK PoE cameras are housed in an rugged, IP-rated enclosure, which is required for industrial and outdoor use.
We suggest following PoE deployment guide as the first steps after installation.
RVC2 architecture on-board features:- 4 TOPS of processing power (1.4 TOPS for AI - RVC2 NN Performance)
- Run any AI model, even custom architectured/built ones (models need to be converted)
- Encoding: H.264, H.265, MJPEG - 4K/30FPS, 1080P/60FPS
- Computer vision: warp (undistortion), resize, crop via ImageManip node, edge detection, feature tracking. You can also run custom CV functions
- Object tracking: 2D tracking with ObjectTracker node
- 16GB eMMC internal storage
- Power consumption up to 5.5W. For more information check the technical specification.
- Industrial grade aluminum housing with Front Gorilla Glass
- 1/4" tripod mount and 45mm M3 mount
- Dimension: 82x114x32 mm
- Weight: 294g
Base concept
The OAK-1-PoE baseboard has one on-board camera which implement RGB vision, piped directly into the OAK-SoM-Pro for depth and AI processing. The data is then output to a host via USB 3.1 Gen1 (Type-C) or via 1000BASE-T ethernet connection. The OAK-1-PoE board exposes boot selection switches, allowing the end user to boot the OAK-SoM-Pro module from USB or the on-board eMMC or NOR flash.
Camera specifications
The OAK-1-PoE is available in two variants: Auto-Focus and Fixed-Focus. The Fixed-Focus variant has the lens fixed in place mechanically, whereas the Auto-Focus has an electromagnet that controls the lens position dynamically. Both variants can clearly see objects 50 cm and beyond.
- Auto-Focus cameras are recommended for close objects between 8 cm to 50 cm of the device (see video). They can also be manually set to a specific focus position utilizing the DepthAI API.
- Fixed-Focus cameras are recommended for heavy-vibration applications, such as drones, lawnmowers, or vehicles (see video).

Power and connectivity
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)The base board offers full 802.3af, Class 3 PoE compliance with 1000BASE-T speeds (1Gbps). PoE injector/switch is required to power the device. If need an injector, you can buy it here.
Power consumptionMost of the power is consumed by the RVC2, so the power consumption mostly depends on the workload of the VPU:
- Base consumption + camera streaming: 2.5W - 3W
- PoE circuitry: 0.5W
- AI subsystem consumption: Up to 1W
- Stereo depth pipeline subsystem: Up to 0.5W
- Video Encoder subsystem: Up to 0.5W
So the total power consumption can be up to ~5.5W if you are using all the features at 100% at the same time. To reduce the power consumption, you can reduce FPS of the whole pipeline - that way, subsystems won’t be utilized at 100% and will consume less power.
Operating characteristics
Water resistanceThis camera is shipped with IP67 rated enclosure. More details can be found here.
TemperatureThe ambient operating temperature of RVC2 based devices is between -20°C and 50°C when fully utilizing the VPU. To find out more, see our operating temperature range documentation.
Getting started
For more information on how to start with POE devices, check our PoE deployment guide.
This OAK PoE camera accepts power input from he 802.3af, Class 3 PoE circuitry. It can also accept power through the on-board USB C connector - which is not exposed through the enclosure, so enclosure needs to be removed.
Booting can be accomplished from either the USB interface or from the eMMC or NOR flash on the OAK-SoM-Pro, and boot selection is configured with the DIP switch bank near the USB connector.
Interfacing with the OAK-SoM-Pro is also possible with PoE Board connector pads J5 and J8, which expose OAK-SoM-Pro auxiliary I/O and BW2099 Quad SPI, respectively. These headers are Amphenol/FCI 20021121-00010T1LF or equivalent.
- The reset button resets the OAK-SoM-Pro only.
- The 5V LED indicates 5V power is present on the BW2098POE.
- The PG LED indicates “power good” from the OAK-SoM-Pro.
- The “RUN” LED indicates that the OAK-SoM-Pro is not in reset.
Caution should be taken when handling any PoE circuit board. Do not directly touch the circuitry as potentials up to and exceeding 57V may exist. Always use electronics handling best practices.
