The smaller and more affordable Oak-D LITE can still be considered the swiss army knife of computer vision…

Looking at [OAK-D Lite – Luxonis](https://shop.luxonis.com/products/oak-d-lite-1) they say the Oak\_D-lite does have an IMU. Your page says it doesn’t? I assume this may be a version issue but can you confirm if the one you are shipping has an IMU or not.

Hi Craig,

Looks like our product page needs an update! I’ll put that on our to-do list. Info straight from Luxonis here:

I’ve just read the guide on this and - wow … the possibilities are endless!

I see that the unit can take input from other sources (eg. other cameras) for processing. I have a range of Swann cameras dotted around and am considering simple things like “vehicle / person at gate” detection. Appreciate the cameras on the Oak-D Lite would provide finer grain detection, but for my purposes might be overkill. Do you have similar products that can do the grunt of processing, but without onboard cameras?

Hi Matt,

That’s a good question, we don’t have any hardware that is dedicated towards object recognition processing and doesn’t have embedded cameras. The Oak-D is the only device we stock with a dedicated Tensor Processing Unit (which is hardware optimised for machine learning).

Typically that sort of thing is just run on generalised computer hardware, we’ve actually got few guides to using an 8GB Pi 4 for OpenCV object recognition libraries.

If you were looking for dedicated hardware I think Google make a device called the Coral which should have a TPU.

One other option worth considering is the super budget friendly person sensor.
