Here is another AI powered camera that can take your robots to the next level. The MaixCAM2 is a 4K AI camera with a local VLM (QWEN) and night vision. It can perform on par with a Jetson Orin Nano Super 4G in YOLO11n 640×640 tasks. It uses Qwen3-VL-2B to answer questions and identify objects. Thanks to SmolVLM, the camera can perform analysis in seconds. This camera has a 1/1.8-inch image sensor for night vision.

The MaixCAM2 can outperform action cams and Raspberry Pi cameras. It is ready for expansion with sensors. It supports plug & play thermal imagers and other modules. This camera uses a M12 lens that can be converted to a CS mount. It can be used with telescopes and microscopes.
