Abstract
Systems and apparatuses are provided that include a number of cameras. One embodiment includes a surveillance camera. The embodiment includes a camera having a lens with a first field of view. The camera can be mounted to an imaging circuit board having an imaging circuit provided thereon for converting image data from the lens into a digital field of view.
Claims55
A digital surveillance camera, comprising:
- a lens having a field of view;
- wherein the lens is mounted to an imaging circuit board;
- and
- an imaging circuit provided on the imaging circuit board for converting image data from the lens into a digital field of view.
A camera array, comprising:
- a first camera having a first field of view;
- a second camera having a second field of view that different than the first field of view;
- and
- wherein the first and second cameras are fixed with respect to each other.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a camera array including:
- a first camera having a first field of view;
- a second camera having a second field of view that is wider than the first field of view;
- and
- a movable mount for moving the camera array.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a camera array including;
- a first camera having a first field of view;
- a second camera having a second field of view that is wider than the first field of view;
- and
- wherein the first and second cameras generate image data;
- and
- an imaging circuit for converting the image data into a digital field of view.
A multiple camera system, comprising:
- a camera array including;
- a first camera having a first field of view;
- a second camera having a second field of view that is wider than the first field of view;
- and
- wherein the first and second cameras generate image data;
- and
- a computing device having computer executable instructions for receiving the image data.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a camera array including:
- a first camera having a first field of view;
- a second camera having a second field of view that is wider than the first field of view;
- and
- wherein the first and second cameras generate image data;
- a movable mount for moving the camera array;
- an image data transceiver;
- and
- a mount controller.
A camera array, comprising:
- a first camera having a first field of view;
- a second camera having a second field of view that is different from the first field of view;
- wherein the first and second cameras are fixed with respect to each other;
- and
- an imaging circuit for combining image data from the first and second cameras into a composite image data set.
