Luxonis Launches New Qualcomm Snapdragon-Powered OAK 4 Computer Vision Cameras
Fourth-generation camera family is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8-Series chips, packing an accelerator for 52 TOPS of INT8 compute.
Computer vision specialist Luxonis has launched its next-generation OAK 4 family of self-contained smart camera systems, offering up to 52 tera-operations per second (TOPS) of minimum-precision compute for on-device processing — some 40 times more than its last generation.
"After years of sustained engineering investment, OAK 4 represents the most advanced generation of our edge-AI platform to date," claims Luxonis chief executive officer Bradley Dillon of the company's latest launch. "Direct feedback from field deployments has been clear: they need higher-throughput edge compute, expanded multimodal sensing, higher-resolution imaging pipelines, and rugged hardware. OAK 4 delivers on all fronts, integrating next-generation AI acceleration, a richer sensor stack, and significantly improved environmental durability."
The OAK 4 family is split across four models, all of which are based on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8-Series system-on-chip, paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, with six 64-bit Arm cores, an on-board graphics processor, and a neural coprocessor delivering up to 52 tera-operations per second (TOPS) of minimum-precision compute for on-device machine learning and artificial intelligence (ML and AI) workloads. While this can be used for models of the user's choice, it's also compatible with Luxonis' own stereo depth estimation models.
Precise specifications depend on the device: the OAK 4 D features a Sony IMX586 48-megapixel sensor as its main RGB camera, available with auto-focus, fixed-focus, or wide-angle lens choices, with Omnivision OV9282 one-megapixel sensors as a stereo pair. The OAK 4 D Pro has the same camera sensors, but adds a Himax dot-pattern infrared illuminator for improved depth perception and IR LEDs for night-vision capture.
The compact OAK 4 S is based on the buyer's choice of the same Sony iMX586 RGB sensor but lacks the Omnivision stereo pair. Finally, the OAK 4 CS offers support for CS-format interchangeable lenses, a first for Luxonis, plus an optional Omnivision OG05B10 global-shutter sensor in place of the iMX586 if preferred. All models include an IP67-rated industrial chassis with shock, vibration, and environmental protection, plus support for USB or Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) power and an M8 connector for input/output expansion.
To support the new cameras the company has also announced the launch of Luxonis Hub, a cloud-based platform designed to provide simple deployment of computer vision models to connected cameras — along with over-the-air updates and full device monitoring.
The OAK 4 S, OAK 4 D, and OAK 4 D Pro are all now available at $749, $849, and $949 respectively; the OAK 4 CS is available under an "early access" program priced at $899 for the Sony IMX586 rolling-shutter variant and $999 for the Omnivision OG05B10 global-shutter version, with general availability planned for early 2026.
