Motion-Triggered Camera Monitoring With Adjustable Viewing Angles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing surveillance cameras lack adjustable up and down angles, resulting in a limited monitoring range, and they operate continuously without energy-saving features, leading to resource wastage.
Innovation Solution
A monitoring device with a control circuit board, motion detection component, and power supply component that allows for adjustable vertical and horizontal camera angles, powered by a dual power system where the camera operates only when motion is detected, using a motion detection component to awaken the control circuit board and drive the camera to rotate towards detected motion, and includes a lighting component for deterrence and a heat sink for cooling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the camera operates continuously to monitor all day long, then the monitoring coverage is complete, but the energy consumption increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system switches from continuous operation to periodic operation by using motion detection to trigger camera activation. The camera remains dormant until motion is detected, then activates temporarily to capture and transmit images, returning to sleep mode afterward. This periodic action pattern significantly reduces energy consumption while maintaining effective monitoring coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The motion detection component automatically triggers the camera activation without requiring continuous power supply or manual control. The system serves itself by using the motion detection sensor to autonomously determine when the camera should be active, eliminating the need for continuous operation while ensuring monitoring occurs only when necessary.
2Device complexity
If the camera monitoring angle is fixed with limited adjustment, then the device structure is simple, but the monitoring range is narrow and cannot satisfy user needs
Solution Approach 1:
The camera mounting structure transitions from a fixed static design to a dynamic adjustable design. The camera can be manually rotated horizontally and tilted vertically within certain ranges, allowing users to adapt the monitoring direction and angle according to different surveillance needs. This dynamic capability significantly expands the effective monitoring range without requiring multiple fixed cameras.
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustable mounting structure enables a single camera to perform multiple monitoring functions by changing its orientation. The camera can monitor different areas, angles, and positions by manual adjustment, making one device versatile enough to replace what would otherwise require multiple fixed cameras positioned at different locations.
