NE301 currently supports YOLOv8. The device utilizes the N6 architecture as its model adaptation foundation. We are continuously expanding the library of compatible models based on the N6 core. For a broader list of compatible models, please refer to the STM32 Model Zoo - STMicroelectronics.
We offer professional model customization services for specialized industry scenarios. Feel free to reach out for technical consultation at support@camthink.ai
No.
The Cat-1 version requires a user-provided SIM card and cellular plan.
- Wi-Fi version relies on existing local Wi-Fi infrastructure and offers the lowest deployment cost in networked environments.
- Cat-1 version uses cellular connectivity and is designed for remote or infrastructure-free deployments.
Both versions share the same event-triggered AI vision core and low-power architecture.
