Description

Product overview
The SenseCAP A1102 LoRaWAN® Vision AI Sensor is an IP66-rated edge device that runs TinyML models locally and transmits only inference results via LoRaWAN (863–928 MHz) to reduce bandwidth and preserve privacy. It captures and processes images at 480×480 resolution at ~10 FPS and ships with pre-deployed models for human detection, people counting and meter reading. The device supports TensorFlow Lite and PyTorch model formats and integrates with SenseCraft for no-code model deployment and training.

Key features
  • Edge AI vision: MCU-based vision processor performing on-device inference at 480×480 (~10 FPS), sending compact inference payloads instead of raw images.
  • No-code and framework support: Preloaded models for human detection, people counting and meter reading; compatible with TensorFlow Lite/PyTorch and SenseCraft platform for training and deployment.
  • LoRaWAN® connectivity: Supports global bands (863–928 MHz), LoRaWAN v1.0.3 Class A, with typical ranges from 2 to 10 km depending on environment.
  • Dual power options: Built-in replaceable 19 Ah Li-SOCl2 D-size battery for cyclic operation; optional 12 V DC input via external junction box for continuous power.
  • Outdoor-ready enclosure: IP66 protection rating and operating range from 0 °C to 70 °C for outdoor deployments.
  • Cloud and management: Integrates with SenseCraft Mate mobile app and web portal for device configuration, data visualization and API access.


Power Supply Options
Option 1: Cyclic operation using the supplied 19 Ah D-size Li-SOCl2 battery (commercially available and replaceable) for long-term standalone outdoor use.
Option 2: Continuous operation via 12 V DC input using an external junction box for wiring and mains or solar-powered installations.

Hardware overview
Onboard components include a vision AI processor (Himax-6538) and a LoRaWAN network MCU (Wio-E5 / STM32WLE5JC). The camera module (OV5647) with a 1/4" sensor and 3.4 mm focal length is mounted in a protective enclosure with mounting points for external installation.

Applications
  • Person detection
  • People counting
  • Face detection
  • Specific object or meter reading detection
