A method and a monitoring camera

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method performed by a first monitoring camera (101) for handling startup. The first monitoring camera (101) detects a power supply stat having changed from off to on. The first monitoring camera (101) initiates startup of a first part (103a) when the power supply state is on. When the startup is complete, the first monitoring camera (101) determines if its first startup priority is higher than, lower than or the same as a second startup priority of a second monitoring camera (110). The first monitoring camera (101) initiates startup of its second part (105a) if the first startup priority is higher or the same as the second startup priority. If the first startup priority is lower than the second startup priority, the first monitoring camera (101) delays startup of its second part (105a) until startup instructions have been received.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to a first surveillance camera and a method performed by the first surveillance camera. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to handling activation of a first surveillance camera. Background technique

[0002] Video surveillance (surveillance) is commonly used for example in the surveillance of commercial, industrial and private places. Surveillance cameras used in video surveillance are typically powered using Power over Ethernet (PoE), ie both power and data are provided over Ethernet cables. The increasing number of surveillance cameras used in video surveillance has also increased the amount of electricity required to get them up and running.

[0003] Surveillance cameras may lose power due to power outages. For a video surveillance system with a network of surveillance cameras (ie, multiple surveillance cameras), restarting all of the surveillance cameras after power is restored can require ...
