AI HAT+ Build-in Hailo AI Accelerator with Metal Case & Active Cooler for Raspberry Pi 5 (26 Tops)

I’ve been using Python and various object detection and recognition libraries to evaluate surveillance videos in real time using a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB of RAM. The RPi5 couldn’t keep up with the analysis. I bought the26TOPS Hailo-8 accelerator. It’s doing a better analysis in just over half the time. If you can afford it, it’s performance is great!

Fantastic piece of tech. Buy it now before it doubles in price.

Es buena, funciona, no banca llms ni encontre manera de compatibilizar ninguno

can't test yet. gpio header and standoffs provided are too short. with provided standoffs, the hailo board rubs on the provided heatsink fan screws, and even if the screw weren't there, there would be 0mm clearance between the hailo board and the heatsink blocking all fan airflow. also with the gpio extended being to short, even when pressed all the way down rubbing on the heatsink fan screws, the pins exposed are only about 2mm, far too short to connect anything to the GPIO. Note for others, you will need your own standoffs and header extender to make this functional.

The case is great - very sturdy. The Hailo is a whole lot of fun to play with and incredibly impressive in its capabilities. Don't underestimate the time it takes to figure out how to set it up and get good results. My only issue is that the fan on the active cooler started squeaking and died after about a month of runtime. That's not great for a fan.

I only have one complaint and I wish the amazing metal case they sent was a little more snug. Install the spacers (clear rubber stoppers) on top the four holes in the bottom of the case that look like they are for screws. It helps, however the internal chips will still be prone to sliding.
