Camera Kit.

Give your code eyes.

One compact camera for snapshots, visual check-ins and fridge experiments.

camera.snapshot

Fridge use needs condensation, lighting, power-cable and Wi-Fi tests. The launch kit is a developer kit, not a food freshness detector.

~/in-the-box

Exactly what’s included.

The Sense board also contains a microphone; this kit does not use or expose it. Sensor, controller and battery arrive assembled. Power bank and mains adapter are not included.

~/power / keep it running

Small battery. Longer possibilities.

Go portable.

Every device includes a rechargeable 400 mAh battery. Runtime depends on your sensor, Wi-Fi use and code.

Plug in for longer.

Connect a USB power bank or a regulated 5 V USB supply through USB-C for longer operation. Especially useful for camera projects.

Check low-current support.

Some power banks turn off when a sensor sleeps. Choose one that stays on at low current and test it with your application. Power bank and mains adapter are not included.

Made to fit the input.

The planned first-batch enclosure is custom 3D-printed black PA12 nylon, with a screw-fastened lid, USB-C opening and sensor-specific openings. Images are concept renders. Final dimensions, fit and finish await the physical prototype. No waterproof rating is claimed.

Seeed XIAO ESP32S3 has an orange user LED and a red charging LED. The concept shows an orange status light through a proposed light pipe; final position depends on the enclosure and board revision. There is no built-in green front-panel LED.
