Abstract
A camera includes an image sensor, a storing module, an infrared shutter module, and a controlling module. The image sensor converts light rays projected thereon to digital image signals. The storing module is for storing the digital image signals. The infrared shutter module includes an infrared emitter and an infrared receiver adjacent to the infrared emitter, and when infrared rays emitted from the infrared emitter are transmitted into the infrared receiver, the infrared shutter module outputs a triggering signal. The controlling module electrically connects to the image sensor, the storing module, the infrared shutter module and stores the digital image signals in the storing module when receiving the triggering signal.
Claims8
A camera, comprising:
- an image sensor converting light rays projected thereon to digital image signals;
- a storing module storing the digital image signals;
- an infrared shutter module comprising an infrared emitter and an infrared receiver adjacent to the infrared emitter, the infrared shutter module being configured to output a triggering signal upon a condition that infrared rays emitted from the infrared emitter are received by the infrared received;
- a controlling module electrically connected with the image sensor, the storing module and the infrared shutter module, the controlling module storing the digital image signals in the storing module when receiving the triggering signal;
- a switching module electrically connected between the infrared shutter module and the controlling module, when the switching module is switched on, and the controlling module connects to the infrared shutter module;
- when the switching module is switched off, and the controlling module disconnects to the infrared shutter module.
