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.
Claims20
A base station comprising:
- at least one hardware processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions, which, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the base station to:
- receive a first portion of a video from a camera comprising an infrared sensor and an image sensor,
- wherein the first portion of the video is captured, using the image sensor, by the camera in response to the infrared sensor detecting motion, and
- wherein the first portion of the video is received by the base station using a first communication channel that connects the camera to the base station;
- determine, based on first characteristics of the first communication channel and second characteristics of a second communication channel that connects the camera to the base station, that the second communication channel is configured to provide enhanced transfer of a second portion of the video from the camera to the base station compared to the first communication channel;
- and
- in response to said determining, cause the camera to switch from the first communication channel to the second communication channel to provide the second portion of the video to the base station.

A method comprising:
- receiving, by a base station, a first portion of a video from a camera comprising an infrared sensor and an image sensor,
- wherein the first portion of the video is captured, using the image sensor, by the camera in response to the infrared sensor detecting motion, and
- wherein the first portion of the video is received by the base station using a first communication channel that connects the camera to the base station;
- determining, based on first characteristics of the first communication channel and second characteristics of a second communication channel that connects the camera to the base station, that the second communication channel is configured to provide enhanced transfer of a second portion of the video from the camera to the base station compared to the first communication channel;
- and
- in response to said determining, causing the camera to switch from the first communication channel to the second communication channel to provide the second portion of the video to the base station.
3 more elements
A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions recorded thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by at least one data processor of a system, cause the system to:
- receive a first portion of a video from a camera comprising an infrared sensor and an image sensor,
- wherein the first portion of the video is captured, using the image sensor, by the camera in response to the infrared sensor detecting motion, and
- wherein the first portion of the video is received using a first communication channel that connects the camera to the system;
- determine, based on first characteristics of the first communication channel and second characteristics of a second communication channel that connects the camera to the system, that the second communication channel is configured to provide enhanced transfer of a second portion of the video from the camera to the system compared to the first communication channel;
- and
- in response to said determining, cause the camera to switch from the first communication channel to the second communication channel to provide the second portion of the video to the system.
