Abstract
A system and method for adjusting operating parameters of a video camera in response to detected temperatures uses temperature sensors that detect temperatures of the components within the video camera and an external temperature for an area surrounding the video camera. These temperatures are combined to determine an operating temperature of the video camera. Then, operating parameters of the video camera are adjusted to ensure that the operating temperature of the video camera does not create an over-temperature condition.
Claims24
A thermal control method for a video camera, the method comprising:
- detecting a temperature for the video camera;
- and
- adjusting operating parameters of the video camera in response to determining that components within the video camera are at risk of an over-temperature condition based on the detected temperature.
A video camera, comprising:
- one or more sensors for detecting temperatures associated with the video camera;
- and
- a controller for adjusting operating parameters of the video camera in response to determining that components within the video camera are at risk of an over-temperature condition based on the detected temperatures.
