Abstract
Adjusting communication channels used by camera to communicate with a base station are described. In one aspect, characteristics of communication channels can be determined and the operation of the camera can be adjusted to use a communication channel based on a comparison of the characteristics of multiple communication channels.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- adjusting, by a processor, operation of a first camera to switch from a first communication channel to a second communication channel to provide first video data depicting activity occurring within a field of vision of the first camera, the adjusting based on characteristics of the first communication channel and characteristics of the second communication channel;
- determining that a second camera is providing second video data using the first communication channel while the first camera is providing the first video data using the second communication channel;
- adjusting operation of the second camera to use the second communication channel;
- and
- adjusting operation of the first camera to use the first communication channel responsive to determining that the second camera is providing the second video data.
2 more elements
An electronic device, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions such that the processor and memory are configured to:
- adjust, by a processor, operation of a first camera to switch from a first communication channel to a second communication channel to provide first video data depicting activity occurring within a field of vision of the first camera, the adjusting based on characteristics of the first communication channel and characteristics of the second communication channel;
- determine that a second camera is providing second video data using the first communication channel while the first camera is providing the first video data using the second communication channel;
- adjust operation of the second camera to use the second communication channel;
- and
- adjust operation of the first camera to use the first communication channel responsive to determining that the second camera is providing the second video data.
5 more elements
A computer program product including one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer program instructions, execution of which by a processing system causes the processing system to:
- adjust, by a processor, operation of a first camera to switch from a first communication channel to a second communication channel to provide first video data depicting activity occurring within a field of vision of the first camera, the adjusting based on characteristics of the first communication channel and characteristics of the second communication channel;
- determine that a second camera is providing second video data using the first communication channel while the first camera is providing the first video data using the second communication channel;
- adjust operation of the second camera to use the second communication channel;
- and
- adjust operation of the first camera to use the first communication channel responsive to determining that the second camera is providing the second video data.
