Today, the pace of iteration for lightweight smart vision devices is accelerating. However, small gimbals, airborne inspection systems, and vehicle-mounted cameras commonly face challenges such as incompatible camera modules, cumbersome protocol integration, inconsistent signal outputs, and delayed remote control. Most manufacturers separately procure camera modules and control accessories, adding extra adapter modules in the process—resulting in longer R&D and debugging cycles, increased device size, and higher risks of malfunctions. To address these issues, Kemorui has launched an integrated solution featuring the CM2001AT encoding control board paired with the CM8210 mini zoom module. The CM2001AT encoding module serves as the central scheduling hub for the entire vision system, seamlessly linking image acquisition, protocol parsing, signal conversion, and remote control across the entire workflow. Thanks to this design, rapid integration can be achieved without modifying the underlying parameters of the camera module itself. This solution covers a wide range of applications—including outdoor inspections, mobile law enforcement, small gimbals, low-altitude aerial photography, and portable high-definition observation—offering three key advantages: compact size, full protocol interoperability, and all-weather high-definition imaging. It provides equipment integrators with a one-stop, standardized hardware solution for visual systems.

I. The CM2001AT encoding master controller offers universal compatibility across the board, enabling quick and hassle-free integration of multiple types of movement mechanisms without the need for debugging.

The CM2001AT encoding board serves as the control core of the entire vision system, performing functions such as communication protocol conversion, video signal output, device command distribution, and overall system networking management. It addresses at the source the challenge of adapting cameras from multiple brands. The hardware boasts a compact and space-saving design, measuring just 38mm × 38mm, with a pre-installed 22.8mm positioning hole featuring a 2mm aperture. It operates on a standard 12V DC power supply and can be seamlessly integrated into the housings of various small pan-tilt units and portable devices without occupying additional installation space in the host equipment.This product natively supports SONY-VISCA, Pelco-D, Pelco-P, Hikvision network pass-through protocols, as well as proprietary brand-specific protocols. It perfectly matches the dual communication protocols—PELCO-D and SONY-VISCA—used by the CM8210 camera module. Additionally, it supports the full range of SONY FCB camera modules, all CM series camera modules, Hikvision cameras, and domestically produced cameras equipped with the VISCA protocol. Upon power-up, the device automatically identifies the camera model and image output format, enabling normal image output without any manual configuration required. The board supports multiple communication baud rates, including 2400, 4800, 9600 (default), and 115,200. The default device ID is 1; in multi-device networking scenarios, the device address can be individually modified to avoid command conflicts. Onboard, there’s an SW2 four-position DIP switch that allows manual selection of one of four mainstream video formats—1080P30, 1080P25, 720P50, or 720P60—without the need for a PC-based host computer. The board is equipped with a dedicated 9-pin multifunctional interface that integrates power ground, 12V power supply, video output, serial port transceiver, and A/T signal conversion pins. It connects directly to the LVDS output port of the CM8210 camera module, ensuring stable and synchronized transmission of high-definition video signals along with zoom control commands. Relying on the encoding board, all imaging parameters of the camera module are centrally managed and controlled, forming a complete architecture that ensures the stable operation of the camera module.

II. The CM8210 high-definition zoom mechanism delivers superior image quality, and its encoding master control unlocks full-featured remote adjustment capabilities.

Relying on the unified scheduling provided by the CM2001AT encoding board, all professional imaging functions of the CM8210 mini zoom lens module can be remotely and precisely controlled. The two hardware platforms are seamlessly integrated at the underlying level, allowing remote customization and adjustment of functions such as zoom, exposure, and image quality optimization. The CM8210 is equipped with a 1/3-inch 2.3-megapixel progressive-scan CMOS sensor, featuring a 16:9 aspect ratio and a horizontal resolution of up to 1000 TVL. Its lens has a focal length ranging from 4.7 to 47 mm, supporting 10x optical zoom combined with 12x digital zoom, for an overall magnification capability of up to 120x. The horizontal field of view can be freely adjusted from 60.9° to 6.4°, striking a perfect balance between wide-area panoramic surveillance and detailed recognition at long distances. The lens module achieves a minimum illumination level of 0.2 Lux during daytime; when DSS low-light mode is enabled, this can be reduced to as low as 0.005 Lux. It also features automatic ICR day/night switching, multi-level 3D noise reduction, three adjustable de-fogging modes, 0–4 levels of wide dynamic range, and 0–20 levels of strong light suppression. Additionally, it supports a variety of advanced features including 8-zone privacy masking, motion detection, electronic image stabilization, image mirroring and rotation, and color sharpness adjustment—all parameters can be remotely switched via protocol commands sent through the CM2001AT. The lens module uses LVDS output and is compatible with both 3G-SDI/HD-SDI and AHD signal formats. Standardized video interfaces provided by the CM2001AT ensure uniform video output, thereby addressing industry challenges such as inconsistent signal formats in small-sized modules and incompatibility with backend storage devices. The overall device dimensions are 43.6 mm.45.567Hmm, weighing only 150g and with a maximum power consumption of 5W, this device is paired with the compact CM2001AT encoding board. Its lightweight design makes it ideal for developing airborne, embedded, and portable vision systems. The core module supports stable operation over a wide temperature range—from -20℃ to 60℃—ensuring consistently stable video output even in challenging outdoor environments with significant temperature fluctuations.

III. The integrated, unified architecture streamlines hardware links and reduces project R&D and implementation costs.

Traditional visual equipment setups require the separate procurement of protocol converters, signal adapter boards, and power distribution modules. This multi-layered hardware configuration not only increases the overall size of the equipment but also leads to signal loss and a higher number of potential failure points. In contrast, Kaimorui’s solution uses the CM2001AT encoding board as its sole control hub, integrating protocol conversion, video output, power supply adaptation, and communication scheduling into one compact unit, thereby significantly simplifying internal hardware wiring. During the R&D phase, there is no need to develop separate drivers specifically for the CM8210 core; instead, the encoding board can automatically read real-time operational data such as the core’s temperature, zoom ratio, and device ID, and simultaneously upload this information to the central control platform, enabling visual monitoring of the equipment’s operating status. In mass production scenarios, users can pre-set the baud rate, device ID, output resolution, and basic imaging parameters via the CM2001AT, ensuring that each unit is uniformly debugged before leaving the factory. As a result, on-site project deployment no longer requires secondary debugging, greatly shortening the delivery cycle.

IV. Implementation of lightweight visual scenarios across the entire industry, and development of standardized hardware solutions driven by encoding.

Leveraging the CM2001AT encoding board’s exceptional compatibility and scheduling capabilities, combined with the CM8210’s high-definition zoom imaging performance, this comprehensive solution covers a variety of specialized smart vision applications. In the scenario of small-scale inspection drones for power and photovoltaic systems, the lightweight dual-device combination is easy to mount; its long-distance zoom enables precise detection of even minor damage along power lines, while the encoding board transmits live video feeds and control commands in real time. In mobile law enforcement equipment installed in vehicles, multi-protocol compatibility ensures seamless integration with in-vehicle central controls, and low-light imaging guarantees clear evidence collection even at night. For compact intelligent pan-tilt units and industrial defect-detection devices, DIP switches allow rapid switching between different image formats, while the automatic camera recognition feature significantly reduces on-site debugging time. As for portable high-definition observation devices and compact video-conferencing equipment, their miniature form factors and low-latency remote control capabilities meet the demands of close-range, high-definition indoor observation.
