Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, embodiments for selecting a first camera from one or more cameras communicatively coupled to a computing device. Further embodiments include adjusting a first hardware controller on the first camera in response to detecting a network condition of a communication network resulting in an adjusted first camera. Additional embodiments include capturing first video content with the adjusted first camera. Also, embodiments include transmitting the first video content to a video content server over the communication network. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- detecting a network condition that adversely affects network bandwidth of a communication network;
- responsive to the detecting:
- selecting a first camera from one or more cameras communicatively coupled to the device;
- adjusting, according to the network condition, a first hardware controller on the first camera to reduce a scope of images captured by the first camera, wherein the adjusting results in an adjusted first camera, and wherein reducing the scope of images captured by the first camera decreases bandwidth usage of the communication network by the first camera;
- and
- capturing first video content with the adjusted first camera.
A machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- detecting a network condition that adversely affects network bandwidth of a communication network;
- responsive to the detecting:
- selecting a first camera from one or more cameras communicatively coupled to a computing device;
- adjusting a first hardware controller on the first camera according to the network condition and in response to detecting an object of interest with a sensor to reduce a scope of images captured by the first camera, wherein the adjusting results in an adjusted first camera, and wherein reducing the scope of images captured by the first camera decreases bandwidth usage of the communication network by the first camera;
- capturing first video content with the adjusted first camera;
- and
- transmitting the first video content to a video content server over the communication network.
A method, comprising:
- detecting, by a processing system including a processor, a network condition that adversely affects network bandwidth of a communication network;
- responsive to the detecting:
- selecting, by the processing system, a first camera from a plurality of cameras, wherein the first camera has a first range of a first panoramic view;
- capturing, by the processing system, first video content with the first camera;
- selecting, by the processing system, a second camera from the plurality of cameras in response to detecting, by the processing system, a portion of the first video content is above a threshold;
- capturing, by the processing system, second video content with the second camera;
- and
- transmitting, by the processing system, the second video content to a video content server over the communication network.
