Connecting PoE camera to Orin

AmanMantena

I've been trying to connect the OAK-D Pro PoE to the Nvidia Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit. We're not using ethernet, so I've been looking at option 1 in https://docs.luxonis.com/projects/hardware/en/latest/pages/guides/powering_poe_devices.html#powering-from-usb.

Does that work? I'm assuming it would look similar to the below image, except without the ethernet cable and with Orin replacing the laptop.

Also, what type of screwdriver would work best for opening the camera?

Hi AmanMantena ,
PoE S2 versions (OAK-D-Pro PoE as well) have M8 connector, which expose USB2 lines. You can connect the Programming board (see image below) to the M8 connector to get the USB connectivity. This would work, but it would be slow (480mpbs bandwidth for USB2 only). Thoughts?
Thanks, Erik

We've decided to just use a PoE injector with a wireless router and an ethernet cable, instead of a USB.
