THE A12 POLICE WEARABLE REFERENCE KIT enables the fast development of a next generation, on-body wearable camera for police and security markets. Two lens-sensor modules are present on the compact, body-worn design. One camera module is integrated into the main unit and is capable of Quad HD at 15 fps encoding, with the other connected externally via a one-meter cable and supporting encode up to 1080p30 resolution.

In addition to a powerful ARM Cortex-A9 processor, the solution offers a rich set of peripherals including two USB instantiations. One USB 2.0 host is used for connection to the 4G/LTE module with a second USB 2.0 acting as a device to enable the kit to be identified as a mass storage device when connected to a PC or docking station.

The ultra-low power Ambarella A12 is designed for long operation and transitions from a powered-off state to a fully functional state, capturing video or still images, in under one second. The A12 has superior low-light performance and overall image quality. Additionally, the device is capable of encoding and outputting a second 720p30 stream, making it well suited to streaming applications.
