Two depth cameras use structured light: the Orbbec Astra 2 and the LIPSedge L210u. Nothing else I checked uses structured light. The other depth cameras use stereo vision (Stereo Depth Cameras) or time-of-flight (ToF Depth Cameras).

How they differ:
- Orbbec Astra 2: an external camera that weighs 241 g. It's rated to run between 0 °C and 35 °C. orbbec.com +1orbbec.com ↗“mechanical.weight_g=241 g”orbbec.com ↗“thermal.max_operating_temp_c=35 °C, thermal.min_operating_temp_c=0 °C”
- LIPSedge L210u: a bare camera module that weighs 16.4 g and runs on 5 V. It gives 6 fps at full resolution, or up to 25 fps at a lower 640x480. Its operating temperature range isn't listed in the catalog. lips-hci.com +1lips-hci.com ↗“LIPSedge L210u bare structured-light camera module”lips-hci.com ↗“Higher25fps is at reduced640x480 output”
Both are listed as external depth cameras for use alongside a Jetson system. Being compatible with a Jetson host doesn't mean a Jetson module is built into the camera.
