NeoEyes NE101 Modular Sensing Camera

NeoEyes NE101 Camera

The CamThink NeoEyes NE101 Series is a developer-first, battery-powered vision camera platform built on ESP32-S3, designed for event-triggered image capture in ultra-low-power outdoor deployments.

With a modular hardware architecture and open-source firmware, NE101 enables fast prototyping and flexible customization for wildlife monitoring, smart agriculture, and other energy-constrained IoT vision applications.

NOTE: SKU differences are defined by the communication module only.

NE101 Communication SKUs Explained

The NeoEyes NE101 Series is available in multiple pre-configured SKUs, each including a specific communication module optimized for different regions and connectivity needs.

All communication modules are plug-in, driver-free, and user-replaceable via the front onboard socket.

Important:
When you purchase a specific NE101 SKU, the corresponding communication module is included by default.
Additional communication modules are optional accessories and can be purchased separately if needed.
