Choosing the Right Module
E1M-AEN
Best suited for ultra-low-power applications where energy efficiency is the primary concern. Ideal for battery-powered devices, energy-harvested sensors, and always-on keyword spotting or anomaly detection.
E1M-X V2N
A cost-effective option at $89 for applications that require a full Linux environment alongside real-time processing. The 4 TOPS DRP-AI3 accelerator handles lightweight vision models, object detection, and classification tasks.
E1M-X V2N-M1
When your application demands more inference throughput, the V2N-M1 delivers 25 TOPS by adding the DeepX M1 NPU. Pin-compatible with the base V2N for seamless upgrades. Ideal for multi-model pipelines and complex vision tasks.
Industrial Camera
A complete vision system at $599 for teams that need a deployment-ready camera with industrial optics, ruggedized enclosures (IP67/IP20), and single-cable PoE connectivity. No custom hardware design required.
