OAK-D Pro W POE Wide FOV with IR Illumination

OAK-D Pro W POE Wide FOV with IR Illumination

The OAK-D Pro W POE Wide FOV with IR Illumination is an industrial-grade, wide field-of-view spatial AI camera engineered to give robotic platforms human-like visual perception. This advanced machine vision system integrates a high-accuracy stereo depth camera array alongside a high-resolution color sensor, backed by an onboard Robotics Vision Core 2 (RVC2) processor. Capable of executing real-time neural network inferencing and hardware-accelerated computer vision tasks right on the edge, this Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) variant utilizes a single Gigabit Ethernet cable for both low-latency data telemetry and electrical power delivery. Housed in a rugged, IP-rated enclosure with built-in infrared (IR) active stereo projection and night-vision LEDs, it delivers robust, highly reliable depth perception across dark, textureless, or challenging industrial environments.

Key Features

• Onboard RVC2 Hardware Architecture: Provides 4 TOPS of total edge processing power (1.4 TOPS dedicated entirely to local AI model execution).

• Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) Integration: Combines Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and system power over a single cable loop for clean remote deployments.

• Wide Field-of-View Optics: Captures a significantly expanded spatial area in a single frame, reducing the camera count needed to cover a zone.

• Active Stereo Depth Technology: Built-in infrared dot projector projects thousands of invisible points to map flat, featureless surfaces accurately.

• Infrared Night Vision: Dedicated IR illumination LEDs enable AI models and computer vision tracking to function flawlessly in pitch-black conditions.

• Hardware-Accelerated Encoding: Encodes multiple video streams natively in H.264, H.265, and MJPEG formats at up to 4K/30FPS or 1080P/60FPS.

• Industrial-Grade Enclosure: Built inside a rugged aluminum housing fitted with damage-resistant Front Gorilla Glass for reliable outdoor use.

• Flexible Edge Computer Vision Suite: Performs hardware-level warping (undistortion), cropping, resizing, edge detection, and 2D/3D object tracking.

Applications

Automation system architects deploy the OAK-D Pro W POE Wide FOV directly onto Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and automated guided vehicles to provide high-fidelity data for Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO), simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), and collision avoidance. The wide-angle lens array makes it highly efficient for industrial security installations, agricultural sorting lines, and large-scale asset tracking, where a broad area must be monitored simultaneously. Furthermore, because it handles low-light environments smoothly, it is heavily used in automated night-shift warehouse operations, gesture tracking interfaces, and outdoor environmental monitoring setups.

Active Stereo and Edge AI Performance

Passive stereo cameras often struggle when pointing at blank walls, smooth sheet metal, or uniform geometric objects due to a lack of visual textures. The OAK-D Pro W overcomes this limitation through its integrated Active Stereo module, which projects a structured grid of infrared dots across the target field. This gives the stereo depth cameras the necessary high-contrast reference landmarks to calculate sub-millimeter depth structures accurately between 40cm and 6 meters away. Simultaneously, users can convert and upload custom machine learning models—such as YOLO object detection networks or semantic segmentation arrays—to run directly on the device, eliminating processing lag and saving host computer CPU cycles.
