GainSpan, a company providing low-power Wi-Fi solutions for the Internet of Things, and GEO Semiconductor, a semiconductor and software company specializing in camera and video solutions, have recently announced a Full HD resolution Video Application Development Kit (ADK) targeted at Wi-Fi video streaming applications in the surveillance, security and automotive markets such as battery or line powered IP cloud cameras, door bell cameras, baby monitors, toy cameras and automotive backup/drive recorder cameras
The development kit features GainSpan GS2011MIZ low power IEEE 802.11b/g/n module, and GEO Semi MAX64380 1080p30 H.264 Camera CODEC, as well as MAXIM MAX9860 mono audio codec, and MAX98300 Class D amplifier.
GainSpan Full HD Video ADK (GS-ADK-VideoGeo1080p) key features include:
- GS2011MIZ module with low power IEEE 802.11b/g/n compliant module with PHY rates up to 72 Mpbs. Supports Limited AP, Wi-Fi Direct with concurrent mode, WPS2.0.
- Wi-Fi Security – 802.11i, WPA/2, Personal and Enterprise, legacy WEP, TLS
- Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) resolution with Geo Semiconductor H.264 encoder
- Streaming Protocols – RTP/RTSP streaming for Audio/Video, UDP/TCP streaming.
- In-home streaming via access point
- Mobile applications from Geo Semiconductor (iOS and Android)
- Battery powered reference design with charging circuit
- Planned support for:
- Streaming to the cloud through an access point or a custom gateway
- Uploading to cloud and storage in the cloud
