Last year, we collectively witnessed the emergence of “AI in Everything”—AI monitoring cameras, AI physical agents, AI chatbots, robotic dogs, and more appeared in rapid succession. While many AI projects remain in their early stages, we could already deeply sense the makers’ passion and pursuit of AI technology!
For this year, Maker Faire Shenzhen 2025 returns with the theme “AI and More Things” and officially scheduled for November 15-16.
Today’s “Community Partner” introduces CamThink (Booth B27).

- Durable & Efficient Design: With its ultra-low power consumption, the NE301 is optimized for long-term battery-powered deployments. Its rugged, IP67-rated enclosure ensures dependable operation in harsh indoor and outdoor environments.
Software and Development
- The NeoEyes NE301 is built to empower developers and accelerate the path from concept to commercialization.
- Advanced Firmware: CamThink’s robust firmware comes standard with critical features, including AI model hot-updates, secure MQTT/MQTTS protocol communication, on-demand capture, recording, and video streaming.
- Developer-Centric Platform: Get up and running quickly with a built-in web management interface for effortless configuration and operation. The platform fully supports secondary development, allowing individuals and enterprises to customize functions, build unique applications, and rapidly commercialize their vision.
3. NeoEdge NG4500｜High-Performance Edge AI Box
CamThink NeoEdge NG4500 series has powerful edge computing capabilities and integrates NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX or Nano core modules, which can fully unleash the computing performance of Jetson Orin™. It achieves up to 1.7 times performance boost compared with the previous generation product that does not support NVIDIA® Super Developer Kit. In addition to the support of general visual AI application, it can also efficiently run various mainstream generative AI models, including Text Large Language Models(LLMs), Vision Large Language Models(VLMs), and Multi-modal Large Language Models(MLLMs). Additionally, NG4500 supports a variety of physical interfaces and scalable communication modules (Wi-Fi/4G/5G), and can flexibly adapt to inter-device communication and edge-to-cloud collaborative communication in various edge computing application scenarios such as Robotic systems, Smart Vehicle Terminals, Smart Manufacturing Computing Hub, and Edge AI Computing Gateway. The industrial-grade design of NG4500 ensures that the equipment operates robustly ranging from -25°C to 60°C with outstanding reliability, and can meet the needs of diverse scenarios.

Over the past 12 years, the development trajectory of Maker Faire Shenzhen can be seen as a microcosm of the development of maker culture in China.
- 2012: “Gathering Small Wisdom, Journeying through the Great Future” – This was the first Mini Maker Faire in China, with less than 1000 attendees, and was more like a gathering within a small circle. But we saw the infinite possibilities emerging from the maker community.
- 2013: The slogan was absent, and the maker community was still small. – In the OCT Creative Park, there were cross-disciplinary exchanges among different creative communities, silently laying the foundation for cultural output.
- 2014: “Innovate with China” – the event was upgraded to the Featured level for the first time, with a significant increase in scale compared to previous years, and the beginning of professional independent forums. This year, makers began to enter the public’s view.
- 2015: “Everyone is a Maker, what are you waiting for?” – This year’s Shenzhen International Maker Week became one of the largest Maker Faires in the world. This year, the concept of “maker” was elevated to a national level, and the trend of “mass innovation, mass entrepreneurship” swept across the country.
- 2016: “My World, My Creation” – As the sub-venue of the National Innovation and Entrepreneurship Week, the event was held for the first time in the commercial center area, experiencing unpredictable weather from typhoons to scorching heat. Many makers succeeded in your entrepreneurial endeavors this year, but it seemed like there were even more failures. The hype around entrepreneurship shifted towards rationality.
- 2017: “Makers, Go Pro” – The event took place at the university campus for the first time, focusing on Maker Pros and providing a platform for diverse innovators and makers to showcase themselves, presenting more possibilities for the growth path of makers to the entire community.
- 2018: “Co-making in the City” – The main venue of Shenzhen International Maker Week, where individuals and groups with shared visions and values gathered to showcase stories, projects, and explorations of collaboration among different communities and people.
- 2019: ” To the Heart of Community, To the Cluster of Industry” – The event was upgraded to the Maker Faire Shenzhen, attempting to attract professional audiences and focusing on pragmatic aspects such as solving the needs of industrial upgrading and co-developin. It aims to build a platform for innovation and industry dialogue and collaboration.
- 2023: “Where Are The Makers?”– Starting from our own mission and values, we aim to explore the future direction of makers and theapossibilities for commercialization. Though this question does not have a definitive answer, we do hope that through this event, we can communicate and share with every one of you, finding more ideas and directions together.
- 2024: “Enchant Everything With AI” – This year, we brought together over 120 exhibitors from around the world, attracting nearly 1,500 professional attendees from nearly 20 countries and over 20 provinces across China. The exhibition showcased a wide range of AI application projects and hosted 10 AI hardware-themed satellite events, alongside various workshops.
