Hi mohamed_rmt
Cellular Connectivity & GPS:
No devices currently feature GPS or LTE.
mohamed_rmt What are the available options for cellular connectivity?
Is there built-in GPS capability?
If not, what are the recommended solutions for adding these features?
Since you are using a RVC2 device, you also need a host (with some general OS) to interface with it. An idea is to use a raspberryPI host, which can be extended with a GNSS, 2/3/4G cellular hat/modem.
Power Supply & Vehicle Integration:
mohamed_rmt What are all available power supply methods?
For POE, check https://docs.luxonis.com/hardware/platform/deploy/powering-poe/
mohamed_rmt What solutions exist for vehicle mounting (compatible with cars, trucks, and vans)?
Standard tripod mount on the bottom, or VESA mounts in the back. VESA is likely a better option due to sturdiness.
mohamed_rmt Are there power management features to prevent battery drain when vehicles aren't running?
Unfortunately, no. When plugged in, the device is always listening for connections which draws power. Simple external switch can be used to disconnect the power.
mohamed_rmt What's the power consumption in various operating modes?
Most of the power is consumed by the RVC2, so the power consumption mostly depends on the workload of the VPU:
Base consumption + camera streaming: 2.5W - 3W
PoE circuitry: 0.5W
AI subsystem consumption: Up to 1W
Stereo depth pipeline subsystem: Up to 0.5W
Video Encoder subsystem: Up to 0.5W
So the total power consumption can be up to ~ 5.5W if you are using all the features at 100% at the same time. To reduce the power consumption, you can reduce FPS of the whole pipeline - that way, subsystems won’t be utilized at 100% and will consume less power.
Installation & Mounting:
As stated above. Anything with VESA support can be used.
mohamed_rmt Are there any weatherproofing considerations?
IP65 so generally shouldn't be a problem.
mohamed_rmt What are the recommended cable management solutions for vehicle installations?
Not sure I understand what you mean. Keep length of cables as short as possible, don't bend them too much, if you plan to use M8 cable for power, keep it short.
Thanks,
Jaka
