Outdoor parking-lot analytics: I need a smart camera rated IP66 or better that runs on a Jetson Orin NX. What are my options?

Question

Rapidflare · Accepted Answer

I found **four smart cameras** that run on a Jetson Orin NX and are rated IP66 or higher: two are IP66 and two are IP67.

**Smart cameras: Jetson Orin NX, IP66 or better**

| Product | Manufacturer | IP rating | Jetson module | Operating temp | Power input | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EYE6N0-S678 | YUAN High-Tech | IP66 | Jetson Orin NX | -20 to 50 °C | 12–24 V | 1x 1GbE, 5G, Wi-Fi/BT, fan-cooled |
| SNA-Series | EverFocus | IP66 (IK10) | Jetson Orin Nano / Orin NX | -20 to 50 °C | PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt) or 9–48 V DC | Bullet camera, 5MP global or 8MP rolling shutter, 5G, GNSS, 2 DI/2 DO |
| Alecs G1-1242 NX16 | Allied Vision | IP67 | Jetson Orin NX 16GB | -20 to 65 °C (housing temperature limit) | 24 V | Sony IMX545, 4128×3008 global shutter, 40 fps |
| Alecs G1-510 NX16 | Allied Vision | IP67 | Jetson Orin NX 16GB | -20 to 65 °C (housing temperature limit) | 24 V | Sony IMX548, 2464×2064 global shutter, 81 fps |

**Things to know about each option:**

- **EverFocus SNA-Series:** This is the only one that can be powered by PoE++, so a single cable can carry power and data to a pole. It also has GNSS. It's described as a preliminary product. It's rated 100 TOPS in default mode and 157 TOPS in Super mode (INT8, sparse).
- **YUAN EYE6N0-S678:** It has 5G and 1GbE, and it's rated 100 TOPS in default mode and 157 TOPS in Super mode (INT8, sparse). It's the heaviest of the four at 3100 g.
- **Allied Vision Alecs G1-1242 / G1-510 NX16:** These are machine-vision cameras with global-shutter sensors and 128 GB of onboard storage. They have the highest maximum temperature here (65 °C), but that figure is a limit on the housing temperature, not the surrounding air temperature. They need a 24 V supply.

**Another possibility:** RAD's ROSA is an edge AI security camera for wall or pole mounting. It runs on a Jetson Orin NX 16GB and has two PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras and 5G. Its IP rating isn't listed in the catalog, so I can't confirm it meets your IP66 requirement.

None of the four specs above say whether the camera works with any particular parking-lot analytics software.
