Solution | Born for action cameras - a new generation of action camera solutions
In recent years, with the popularity of extreme sports and outdoor adventure activities, more and more people are looking to capture the wonderful moments in these activities. Action cameras, with their compact size, excellent waterproof performance and powerful camera functions, have become the preferred shooting tool for outdoor enthusiasts, extreme sportsmen and even ordinary consumers. It not only provides people with the opportunity to record special moments in life, but also represents the lifestyle and values of an era. Behind this is a huge push by technology. High-definition image quality, strong stability and long battery life have made action cameras popular among users in a short period of time.
Renesas' battery-powered camera solutions are the best response to this market trend. It improves efficiency by optimizing startup and power strategies, and also leverages edge AI technology to implement object detection and classification, aiming to significantly extend battery life and make the camera's performance in harsh environments more stable and durable.
Unlock a new battery-powered photography experience
Relying on its accumulation of power supply technology and insights into the action camera market, Renesas has launched a new generation of battery-powered technology that features low power consumption, quick startup, and quick decision-making.
Low power consumption
In addition to the always-on motion sensor and MCU, the system will remain completely off when not needed, significantly reducing power consumption. The system only activates when motion is detected in the camera's field of view. This strategy aims to reduce unnecessary battery consumption so that the camera can provide users with the functionality they need at critical moments.
Quick Start
When the camera detects motion, the system captures the first good image within 500 milliseconds. The startup of the Linux system is also completed in just 3 seconds. Compared with the traditional Linux system startup time of 30 seconds, the overall startup time is shortened by 90%. For users, this means they can quickly capture important moments.
Quick decision making
Once the system is started, within a very short time, the camera can start analyzing the captured images and making decisions. The DRP-AI hardware accelerator used in the system can perform fast, low-power object detection and classification in a very short time.
To realize the above functions and advantages, we cannot do without the support of a series of powerful software and hardware from Renesas. The core of this battery-powered camera system is the RZ/V2L MPU . The RZ/V2L is equipped with a Cortex ® -A55 (1.2 GHz) CPU and a built-in AI accelerator "DRP-AI" to provide better machine vision processing performance - this is Renesas Electronics’ original technology. It is also equipped with a 16-bit DDR3L/DDR4 interface and has a built-in Arm Mali-G31 3D graphics engine and video codec (H.264).

In addition, the DA7219 audio codec is built into the battery-powered camera system , which has advanced accessory detection capabilities. It also integrates the DA14531MOD model SmartBond TINY™ Bluetooth low energy module to provide wireless connectivity for the device. For power management, the system uses the ISL9123 ultra-low quiescent current buck regulator, which has a bypass function. RAA211250 provides an integrated 30V, 5A synchronous buck regulator for the system. It is equipped with internal compensation and programmable frequency functions to ensure stable power supply and high energy efficiency of the camera.
Based on these advantages and features, this action camera solution is very suitable for off-road/adventure and sports cameras. Not only that, its advanced AI and responsiveness make it an ideal choice for battery-powered surveillance systems.
Battery life has become the primary concern and pain point for all battery-powered devices. Renesas's battery-powered camera solution's application of edge AI, emphasis on battery life, and pursuit of rapid response all reflect its in-depth mastery of battery-powered technology and deep understanding of camera user needs. This solution will better help users record every adventure, every challenge and every joy. For more information, you can click to read the original text at the end of the article to visit.
