AI remote monitor system with reCamera and HaLow - XuechiXiang - CodeCraft Hub
This AI monitoring system enables long-range wireless surveillance for outdoor sites lacking stable networks. It processes video locally via reCamera's onboard AI and transmits results remotely using Wi-Fi HaLow, eliminating the need for wiring, routers, or cloud services.

Application Overview This application is a high-definition wireless video transmission system built on the reCamera series of intelligent cameras and Wi-Fi HaLow technology. It addresses the limitations of traditional Wi-Fi (limited to around 100 meters) and LoRa (incapable of transmitting video), leveraging the superior penetration of Wi-Fi HaLow in the Sub-GHz frequency band. This enables real-time HD video streaming and a closed-loop for edge AI object recognition within a 1-kilometer range without the need for router relays. It is the ideal off-grid monitoring solution for scenarios where truly "seeing and seeing clearly" is essential. Application Scenarios: Visual Remote Inspection & Verification: At power towers, reservoir dams, or large construction sites, mere text alerts are insufficient. The system utilizes HaLow's high bandwidth to stream HD video captured by the reCamera back in real-time, allowing managers to remotely verify on-site conditions and perform visual confirmations without leaving their offices. Visual Forensics for Unattended Assets: For excavators parked at remote work sites or high-value materials, Wi-Fi HaLow can transmit live footage from hundreds of meters away. When AI detects suspicious loitering, users can immediately pull up the real-time feed for remote announcement or evidence collection, rather than just receiving a delayed text notification. Video Transmission for Temporary Work Sites : In areas like mines and oil fields with severe interference and difficult cabling, Wi-Fi HaLow's superior range over traditional Wi-Fi enables the stable transmission of real-time operational video captured by reCameras to control rooms over 100 meters away, assisting on-site command and safety supervision. Core Technologies & Advantages Sub-Second Video Stream Transmission : Wi-Fi HaLow provides bandwidths of up to 16 Mbps, supporting smooth video streaming via RTSP/RTMP protocols. This means the reCamera not only "detects" targets but also synchronizes lossless, high-definition footage from the scene to remote observers. Low-Code, Real-Time Streaming Orchestration with Node-RED : The system features a built-in Node-RED development environment. Using a drag-and-drop interface, users can complete the entire workflow—from camera driver activation and AI recognition to RTSP streaming and WebSocket control. Developers can rapidly customize video preview interfaces and AI trigger logic without writing low-level driver code. Decentralized Communication Network: The system supports point-to-point (P2P) connections without the need for any third-party relays or internet access. This private "end-to-end" video link ensures ultra-low transmission latency and physically isolates the system from potential eavesdropping, guaranteeing absolute video privacy and security. Deployment with SenseCraft AI SenseCraft AI provides a streamlined, end-to-end platform for deploying and managing edge AI applications like parking space monitoring. To deploy the system: 1: Use the SenseCraft AI platform to register and configure your reCamera, ensuring it is connected to your local network. 2: Upload the workflow from SenseCraft model zoo, then push it directly to the reCamera for edge execution.
