Description

The Seeed Studio Studio reCamera 2002 Base Board WiFi HaLow is a specialized expansion module designed to equip the reCamera 2002 series with long-range, low-power wireless communication. It implements the IEEE 802.11ah (WiFi HaLow) standard, operating in the license-free 902–928 MHz ISM band. This sub-GHz frequency provides significantly improved range and signal penetration compared to traditional 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, making it ideal for challenging outdoor and industrial environments.

The board supports a theoretical maximum data rate of 32.5 Mbps, configurable across 2 MHz, 4 MHz, and 8 MHz channel bandwidths to balance throughput and link robustness. With a theoretical maximum transmit power of 27 dBm, it is engineered for reliable connectivity over distances up to 1 kilometer in line-of-sight conditions. Power management is highly flexible, accepting 12V DC, USB Type-C, or a 3.7V Li-ion battery, enabling deployment in both fixed and portable surveillance or telemetry setups.

Key Features

  • Enables long-range, low-power WiFi HaLow (802.11ah) connectivity for the reCamera 2002 camera platform.
  • Sub-GHz 902–928 MHz operation ensures superior range and obstacle penetration for outdoor and industrial use.
  • Configurable channel bandwidth (2/4/8 MHz) allows optimization for data rate versus link stability.
  • Multi-source power input (12V DC, USB-C, Li-ion) supports diverse installation scenarios from fixed PoE to battery-powered.
  • External SMA and I-PEX antenna connectors permit the use of high-gain antennas to maximize operational range.
  • Designed for seamless integration with reCamera 2002, 2002w, and 2002 HQ PoE models for expanded wireless capabilities.
  • FCC-certified design ensures compliance for commercial deployment in relevant regions.

Applications

  • Long-range outdoor surveillance and security camera systems.
  • Industrial IoT (IIoT) telemetry and remote monitoring in facilities with structural obstacles.
  • Agricultural sensor networks for field condition monitoring over wide areas.
  • Environmental and wildlife observation stations requiring reliable backhaul.
  • Construction site monitoring and temporary installation video feeds.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I configure the WiFi HaLow Base Board with my reCamera 2002?

First, securely attach the base board to your reCamera 2002 model using the provided screws. Connect your chosen antenna to the SMA or I-PEX connector. Apply power via the 12V DC input, USB-C port, or connected Li-ion battery. The camera's operating system should automatically detect the HaLow interface. You will then need to configure the wireless STA (Station) settings through the camera's web interface or API, specifying the SSID, security credentials (WPA3 is recommended), and desired channel bandwidth (2, 4, or 8 MHz) for your HaLow network.

What is the effective data throughput for streaming video over this HaLow link?

While the theoretical maximum data rate is 32.5 Mbps, real-world throughput for video streaming depends on range, interference, and selected bandwidth. At moderate distances with an 8 MHz channel, you can expect usable throughput suitable for compressed H.264 or H.265 video streams. For optimal performance, ensure a clear Fresnel zone, use a high-gain directional antenna for point-to-point links, and configure your video encoder bitrate within the sustainable throughput of the link, typically 5-15 Mbps for reliable operation at extended ranges.

Can I power this expansion board solely from a USB-C power bank for field use?

Yes, the board supports power input from a standard USB Type-C source, including a power bank. This is ideal for portable or temporary deployments. Ensure your power bank can provide a stable 5V output. Note that total system power consumption includes both the HaLow radio and the attached reCamera. For extended battery life, utilize the camera's power management features and consider the HaLow radio's operational and sleep currents. A high-capacity (e.g., 20,000 mAh) power bank is recommended for all-day operation.
