Documentation notice: This technical documentation was independently rewritten from an archived supplier source. Check technical details and commands against the product version and manufacturer documentation before use.

Summary

The OAK-D-POE is a compact AI vision system featuring an Intel Myriad X VPU, a 4K RGB camera, and binocular depth cameras. It is powered and connected via a single Cat5e cable using Power over Ethernet (802.3af), features an IP67-rated enclosure, and is suitable for demanding environments.

Technical overview

Processes image data through an integrated Intel Myriad X processor with approximately 4 TOPS of computing performance.
Features a 12 MP color camera (IMX378, rolling shutter, autofocus from 8 cm) plus two 1 MP monochrome depth cameras (OV9282, global shutter, fixed focus from 50 cm or 19.6 cm).
Supports H.265 video streaming at 4K resolution and 30 fps.
Average power consumption is approximately 2.5 W.
The PoE connection requires an 802.3af-compatible switch or router; the cable range extends up to 100 m.
The IP67 enclosure protects against dust and temporary water exposure.
Development is possible in Python and C++ via the depthai library.
Depth is reliably measured in the 0.7 to 12 m range; theoretically up to 35 m is possible, with an error of about 6–10% at 30 m.
Suitable for applications such as intelligent driving, robotics, security monitoring, and computer-vision education.

Commands and examples – verify before use:

git clone https://gitee.com/oakchina/depthai.git
git clone https://gitee.com/oakchina/depthai-python.git
echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03e7", MODE="0666"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/80-movidius.rules
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger
python3 -m pip install -r depthai/requirements.txt -i https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple
python3 depthai/depthai_demo.py

Notes and version constraints

The exact compatibility requirements for the PoE switch (e.g., minimum current, voltage profile) are not fully specified in the source; consult the manufacturer's datasheet.
For first-time setup, the device must be on the same LAN as the host computer, otherwise the software will not detect it.
Some installation commands reference mirror sites (e.g., gitee.com); accessibility of these sources may be regionally restricted.
3D positioning accuracy depends heavily on object texture; accuracy decreases on smooth surfaces.
When using Jetson, do not run the dependency script directly to avoid OpenCV overwrites; configure the Jetson environment properly first.
The stated depth values (0.7–12 m, theoretically 35 m) are indicative; actual measurement range depends on lighting and object characteristics.
