New $70 AI Camera works with all Raspberry Pi’s without requiring additional accelerators or a GPU

A Raspberry Pi camera module - square piece of green circuit board with a black camera mounted on it. Below is seen a brown ribbon cable.

It comes with onboard AI processing that can help Raspberry Pi users develop “edge AI solutions that process visual data” with ease, according to the tiny computer maker.

The 12.3 megapixel Raspberry Pi AI Camera can capture footage at either 10 frames per second in 4056 x 3040, or 40fps at 2028 x 1520. It also has a manually adjustable focus, a 76-degree field of view, and measures 25 x 24 x 11.9mm.

It’s refreshing to see some new high-end kit released that does NOT require throwing out the older hardware and having to upgrade (looking squarely at Microsoft here!). This may in fact allow some older Pis to have new life breathed into them.
