1.2  Additional Peripherals 

In  addition  to  the  i.MX  RT106F,  included  in  the  kit  are  many  additional  peripherals 
essential to experiencing everything the SLN-VIZNAS-IOT kit has to offer. Many of these 
peripherals are shown in the figure below. 

 

Figure 1: SLN-VIZNAS-IOT Additional Peripherals 

Additionally, the SLN-VIZNAS-IOT kit comes with an IR+RGB 

Dual Camera Adapter 

like 

that shown below for use in secure applications.  

 

Figure 2: Dual Camera Adapter Kit Configuration 

Depending on the mode of operation, devices using the Dual Camera Adapter can 
emit highly concentrated non-visible infrared light which can be hazardous to the 
human  eye.  Products  which  incorporate  these  devices  must  follow  the  safety 
precautions given in IEC 60825-1 and IEC 62471.
