Product Overview

NeoEyes NE101 is a low-power sensing camera for scheduled or event-triggered image capture. It wakes on schedule, button press, Alarm-In, PIR, or other external triggers, captures an image, and uploads it through the selected network.

All NE101 versions share the same core ESP32-S3 camera platform. Choose Wi-Fi, LTE Cat.1, or Wi-Fi HaLow by deployment network and region, and select the lens by capture distance and field of view.

For development, NE101 supports open-source firmware, MQTT/MQTTS reporting, GPIO expansion, Alarm-In, PIR, Micro-TF storage, and Type-C/UART debugging. The NeoEyes NE101 ESP32-S3 Development Board is available separately for hardware evaluation.


Choose the Right SKU

All NE101 SKUs share the same core camera platform. The main difference is connectivity and regional network support.

Model Connectivity Recommended Region Choose This If Do Not Choose If
NE101 Standard Wi-Fi Global You have nearby 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. The site has no local Wi-Fi coverage.
NE101-L01GL LTE Cat.1 Global, excluding North America You need cellular upload outside the US / Canada / Mexico. Your deployment is in North America.
NE101-L02NA LTE Cat.1 North America, US / CA / MX You need cellular upload in North America. You are deploying outside North America.
NE101-HL00 Wi-Fi HaLow 868 MHz Global, excluding North America Your HaLow gateway or region uses 868 MHz. Your gateway or region uses 915 MHz.
NE101-HL01 Wi-Fi HaLow 915 MHz North America, US / CA / MX Your HaLow gateway or region uses 915 MHz. Your gateway or region uses 868 MHz.

Buying Note:

For Cat.1, choose the correct regional version. For Wi-Fi HaLow, the NE101 frequency must match your HaLow gateway and local frequency band.

Additional LTE Cat.1 Communication Board for NeoEyes and Wi-Fi HaLow Communication Board for NeoEyes modules are sold separately for upgrades or replacements.

Lens Selection

Lens Option Best For
120° FOV, 3 m focus Standard wide-angle scene capture.
120° FOV, 8 cm focus Close-range wide-angle capture.
60° FOV, 4 m focus Narrower standard-distance targets.
60° FOV, 15 cm focus Close-range targets needing a narrower view.

For additional lens replacement or project tuning, see the OV5640 Camera Module.

If your project requires a USB camera module, the USB Camera Module for NeoEyes NE101 is available separately.


Key Features

Low-Power Event Capture
NE101 supports scheduled capture, interval capture, button capture, Alarm-In capture, and PIR/sensor-triggered wake-up. It is intended for low-frequency image acquisition where battery life and remote access are more important than continuous streaming.

Flexible Connectivity
Choose standard Wi-Fi for sites with local Wi-Fi, LTE Cat.1 for cellular deployments, or Wi-Fi HaLow for long-range private IoT networks. For HaLow projects, confirm the region and gateway frequency before ordering.

Modular Imaging
The standard camera uses an OV5640 module with selectable FOV and focus options. Lens choice should be based on target distance, scene width, and installation height.

Developer-Friendly Architecture
NE101 provides open-source firmware, MQTT/MQTTS data reporting, Type-C/UART debugging, Micro-TF storage, Alarm-In, PIR connector, and 16-pin GPIO expansion for secondary development.

Outdoor Deployment Support
With IP67 protection, battery operation, and bracket accessory options, NE101 can be deployed in outdoor or semi-outdoor sensing applications. Use Mounting Brackets for NeoEyes Series when wall, pole, desktop, or meter-oriented installation is required.


Mounting Options & Accessories

Mount Type Description Typical Use
Rear Mount Wall or flat-surface mounting Indoor monitoring, building security
Pole Mount Mounts on poles, streetlights, or trees Outdoor, roadside, wildlife deployment
Meter Mount Designed for industrial meters; reduces light reflection Water / gas / electric meter OCR
Ball Joint 3-axis adjustable angle Precise field-of-view alignment
Base Mount Stable stand for flat placement Desks, shelves, machinery

Power & Outdoor Deployment

NE101 supports 4 x AA battery operation for low-frequency capture, and Type-C power access for setup, debugging, or wired power use.

For off-grid outdoor deployments, NE101 can be paired with the 10W Solar Panel & 7Ah Outdoor Battery Kit with 5V Type-C Output. This kit is intended for NE101 / NE301 USB-C versions. If purchasing it together with an NE101 camera, request the USB-C back cover modification in the order note if need.
