Stereolabs Announces End-of-Life for ZED 2 Stereo Camera


PARIS, FR, October 21, 2024 – Stereolabs, a leader in 3D vision technology and AI-powered perception systems is announcing the End of Life (EOL) of the ZED 2 Stereo Camera. This change reflects our commitment to innovating and developing advanced products that meet evolving market demands. While the ZED 2 has served our customers reliably for many years, the time has come to make room for new technologies that enhance performance, maintainability, and efficiency.

Transition to the ZED 2i

The ZED 2 will be replaced by the ZED 2i Stereo Camera, a more advanced model that builds upon its predecessor's strengths. Offering improved features and the same robust 3D vision capabilities, the ZED 2i represents the next step forward in AI-powered depth sensing technology. This new model supports future developments in autonomous systems, robotics, and smart environments.

Important End-of-Life Milestones

We are committed to ensuring a smooth transition for all our customers. The table below outlines the key dates associated with the ZED 2’s end-of-life process:
