eCAM: ultra compact, high data-rate wireless sensor node with a miniature camera

— eCAM is an ultra-compact, high data-rate wireless sensor node (WSN) with a miniature camera. It is constructed by interfacing a VGA quality digital video camera with the Eco node. The purpose of this demo is to show that Eco is not only one of the world’s smallest selfcontained WSN, but its expansion capability facilitates the construction of new sensing systems over its expansion port. More importantly, Eco pushes the limit on wireless throughput by demonstrating real-time, reliable streaming of VGA quality video. The results show that Eco is not only ultra-compact but also much higher performance than sensor nodes in its class.
