Abstract
This document describes a thermal-control system that is integrated into a security camera. The thermal-control system includes a combination of heatsinks and thermal interface materials with high thermal conductivities. The thermal-control system may transfer and spread energy from a high thermal-loading condition effectuated upon the security camera to concurrently maintain temperatures of multiple thermal zones on or within the security camera at or below prescribed temperature thresholds.
Claims20
A security camera comprising:
- a system-on-chip integrated circuit device that is mounted to a first surface of a first printed circuit board;
- a memory integrated circuit device that is mounted to the first surface of the first printed circuit board;
- a battery;
- and
- a thermal-control system configured to concurrently maintain temperatures throughout the security camera during a high thermal-loading condition, the thermal-control system configured to concurrently maintain:
- a first temperature of a first thermal zone at or below a first prescribed temperature threshold, the first thermal zone including the system-on-chip integrated circuit device;
- a second temperature of a second thermal zone at or below a second prescribed temperature threshold, the second thermal zone including the memory integrated circuit device;
- and
- a third temperature of a third thermal zone at or below a third prescribed temperature threshold, the third thermal zone including the battery.
