Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of surveillance technology, and more particularly to a camera system using a split sensor with intelligent rotation and its implementation method. The system is designed to improve surveillance efficiency and accuracy, and to meet flexible and diverse surveillance needs by dynamically adjusting the surveillance range and focal length. Background Art

[0002] Existing surveillance systems typically consist of fixed-position cameras, which may be equipped with short-range motion sensors. These systems are often limited by the sensor's detection range and the camera's viewing angle, resulting in blind spots and the inability to achieve comprehensive or dynamic monitoring. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a camera system that can dynamically adjust its monitoring range based on monitoring needs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides a camera system with intelligently rotating split sensors. The system comprises a rotatable camera unit and at least one split sensor probe. The sensor probe and camera unit are connected via wireless communication technology, ensuring real-time information transmission and interaction. When either probe detects human activity, the camera unit automatically rotates to the corresponding location for monitoring and records the video to a memory card. Furthermore, the camera unit is equipped with an autofocus module that automatically adjusts the focus based on the sensor probe's signals, ensuring clear capture of the target.

[0004] Detailed Description: In one embodiment, the system includes multiple separate sensor probes, such as human recognition sensors, door magnetic sensors, curtain sensors, and infrared fence sensors. These probes are connected to the camera host via wireless communication technology. When a sensor probe detects human activity, it sends a signal to the camera host. Upon receiving the signal, the camera host automatically adjusts its rotation angle and rotates the camera to the location of the activity, initiating monitoring.

[0005] The camera host is equipped with a central processing unit (CPU), which processes the sensor probe signals and controls the camera's rotation. In addition, the camera host is equipped with an autofocus module that automatically adjusts the focus based on the sensor probe signals, ensuring a clear capture of the monitored target after turning.

[0006] To enhance the user experience, the system also features a notification function. When human activity is detected and monitoring begins, the system can send relevant information to the user's mobile phone or other mobile device via wireless signals, so that the user can keep informed of the monitoring status at any time.
