# Hardware and Performance

## How many TOPS does an OAK4 camera have?

OAK4 cameras deliver 48 INT8 TOPS of AI performance, plus 4 FP16 TOPS on the GPU, from the Qualcomm QCS8550 SoC on the Luxonis
RVC4 platform. OAK4 devices come with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage by default (12 GB and 256 GB as an option), which lets
them run complete applications on the camera without a host PC.

## Can an OAK camera run without a computer?

OAK4 cameras (RVC4) run standalone. They run Luxonis OS, a Linux-based operating system, and run containerized OAK Apps directly
on the camera, deployed with `oakctl`. RVC2 OAK cameras run in peripheral mode and need a host such as a PC, Raspberry Pi, or
NVIDIA Jetson, although neural inference and depth still run on the camera.

## Does OAK work with Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA Jetson?

Yes. OAK cameras connect to Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson, and other Linux single-board computers over USB or Ethernet. Because the
OAK camera handles AI inference, stereo depth, and video encoding on the device, a low-power host such as a Raspberry Pi can run
applications that would otherwise need a GPU.

## What is the depth range of OAK cameras?

Depth range depends on the stereo baseline and sensors. OAK cameras with a 7.5 cm baseline, such as the OAK-D, measure depth from
about 70–80 cm (depending on the field of view) up to about 12 m. The short-range OAK-D SR (2 cm baseline) has an ideal range of
10 cm to 1 m, and the long-range OAK-D LR (15 cm baseline) stays accurate beyond 10 m. Luxonis publishes depth accuracy per model.

## Are OAK cameras rated for outdoor or industrial use?

OAK4 cameras use an IP67-rated enclosure (OAK4-CS is IP65, or IP67 with the lens hood) with an M12 Ethernet connector and an M8
auxiliary connector, and operate from -20 °C to +50 °C. Among RVC2 cameras, the OAK-D PoE, OAK-1 PoE, OAK-D ToF, and OAK Thermal
are IP67-rated, and the other PoE models are IP65-rated.

## What is the difference between OAK USB and OAK PoE cameras?

OAK USB cameras connect and draw power over a single USB-C cable, which suits benches, robots, and short cable runs. OAK PoE
cameras use Power over Ethernet to carry power and data over one cable up to 100 m long, which suits fixed installations such as
warehouses and production lines. OAK4 cameras support both USB-C and PoE.
