The invention relates to a measurement and/or sensor device, comprising a camera and a memory unit, and comprising data stored in the memory unit for controlling the measurement and/or sensor device, wherein the measurement and/or sensor device has a protection device for the memory unit, which protects the data stored in the memory unit against unauthorized alteration, and the data stored in the memory unit are adjustment data for adjustment of the measurement and/or sensor device.

There is provided an imaging apparatus including an imaging unit that captures a moving image and a communication unit that performs wireless communication. The imaging apparatus further includes a control unit that controls an imaging function and a transmission function for transmitting an image signal indicating a captured image that has been captured, on the basis of a time setting set in advance. The control unit at least controls switching between a standby state where the imaging function is not working and an operating state where the imaging function is working, based on the time setting.

Imaging coverages of a plurality of imaging apparatuses are calculated based on position information about a position of each of the plurality of imaging apparatuses, azimuth and angle information about the plurality of imaging apparatuses, and imaging area information about the plurality of imaging apparatuses. A notification of an area capable of comprehensive imaging and an area not capable of comprehensive imaging is made based on the imaging coverages.

Image recording device provided with a fixed part for at least partial inclusion in and/or on the body of a motor vehicle, and a movable part which comprises at least one optical element, the optical element comprising at least one optical sensor and/or a lens unit, and an adjustment device provided with a power source, for adjusting the movable part between a first position and a second position, wherein during use in the first position the movable part is wholly or partly included in the body, and in the second position the movable part extends at an angle with respect to the body, such that at least the optical element carried by the movable part extends at least partly outside the body, wherein the movable part pivots from the second position about a, preferably substantially vertical, axis to the first position and vice versa.

A camera includes a housing, a lens assembly accommodated in the housing, a plurality of circuit boards accommodated in the housing and including a first circuit board and at least one second circuit board, and a connection rod including at least one step member at a peripheral of the connection rod. One end of the connection rod is configured to fix the lens assembly in the housing. Another end of the connection rod is configured to connect with the first circuit board. One of the at least one second circuit board abuts against a corresponding one of the at least one step member and is fixed to the connection rod. The plurality of circuit boards are spaced apart from the lens assembly and from each other.

A control unit generates a first control signal for camera shake correction on the basis of a first acceleration detection signal, a second acceleration detection signal, and an angular velocity signal. The first acceleration detection signal including information relating to an acceleration acting on a camera and has an alternating current (AC) waveform corresponding to the acceleration. The second acceleration detection signal including information relating to the acceleration and has an output waveform. An AC component corresponding to the acceleration is superimposed on a direct current (DC) component in the output waveform. The angular velocity signal including information relating to an angular velocity acting on the camera.

A removable and flexible protective cap that is configured and dimensioned to stretch and slip over fixed camera lenses, detachable camera lenses and other tubular-shaped objects. The protective cap fits on objects having different diameters. The protective cap further includes integrated bumpers to provide improved protection against impacts. The protective cap has a memory such that when it is removed from a lens, it returns to its original shape. The protective cap may include a lint-resistant feature to prevent lint and dust from adhering to the cap. The protective cap is particularly suited for lenses used in photography, videography, hunting, military, and astronomy. The protective cap is also suited for use on non-optical devices, including gun barrels. In addition, the protective cap is suitable for use on other tubular-shaped objects.
