Abstract
Provided are embodiments of a surveillance camera. The surveillance camera includes an optical sensor and an actuation drive which is configured to adjust a viewing field of the optical sensor in such a manner that the viewing field can be adjusted respectively at least into a surveillance range and an inactive range. The inactive range is at least partially spatially disjoint from the surveillance range. Security from external surveillance is ensured in that the actuation drive adjusts the viewing field in accordance with an external actuation signal between the surveillance range and the inactive range.
Claims13
A surveillance camera, comprising:
- an optical sensor;
- an actuation drive which is configured to adjust a viewing field of the optical sensor in such a manner that the viewing field can be adjusted respectively at least into a surveillance range and an inactive range which is at least partially spatially disjoint from the surveillance range;
- wherein the actuation drive adjusts the viewing field in accordance with an external actuation signal between the surveillance range and the inactive range;
- and
- wherein a position of the actuation drive for detecting the surveillance range and a position of the actuation drive for detecting the inactive range can be parameterised by a user.
A system, comprising:
- a surveillance camera, comprising:
- an optical sensor;
- an actuation drive which is configured to adjust a viewing field of the optical sensor in such a manner that the viewing field can be adjusted respectively at least into a surveillance range and an inactive range which is at least partially spatially disjoint from the surveillance range;
- wherein the actuation drive adjusts the viewing field in accordance with an external actuation signal between the surveillance range and the inactive range;
- and
- wherein a position of the actuation drive for detecting the surveillance range and a position of the actuation drive for detecting the inactive range can be parameterised by a user;
- and
- a central control unit;
- wherein the central control unit is configured to receive sensor signals from at least one sensor;
- wherein the central control unit is configured to associate at least one of the sensor signals with an actuation signal for the surveillance camera;
- wherein the central control unit transmits the respective actuation signal to the surveillance camera in accordance with the association when receiving a sensor signal of at least one sensor;
- and
- wherein a position of the actuation drive for detecting the surveillance range and a position of the actuation drive for detecting the inactive range can be parameterised by a user;
- wherein a sensor signal which signals an arming of an alarm system is associated with an actuation signal and in that in accordance with this actuation signal the actuation drive adjusts the viewing field into the surveillance range and/or in that a sensor signal which signals a disarming of an alarm system is associated with an actuation signal and in that in accordance with this actuation signal the actuation drive adjusts the viewing field into the inactive range and/or in that a sensor signal which signals an absence recognition is associated with an actuation signal, and in that in accordance with this actuation signal the actuation drive adjusts the viewing field into the surveillance range and/or in that a sensor signal which signals a presence recognition is associated with an actuation signal and in that in accordance with this actuation signal the actuation drive adjusts the viewing field into the inactive range.
A method for operating a surveillance camera, comprising:
- adjusting a viewing field of an optical sensor of the surveillance camera in such a manner that the viewing field is adjusted respectively at least into a surveillance range and an inactive range which is at least partially spatially disjoint from the surveillance range;
- wherein, in accordance with an external actuation signal, the viewing field is adjusted between the surveillance range and the inactive range;
- and
- wherein a position of the actuation drive for detecting the surveillance range and a position of the actuation drive for detecting the inactive range can be parameterised by a user.
