An apparatus includes a primary camera sensor configured to capture images having a first resolution, a primary processing circuit configured to process images captured by the primary camera sensor, a secondary camera sensor configured to capture images having a second resolution, and a secondary processing circuit configured to process images captured by the secondary camera sensor. In response to a determination that a particular object of interest is included in a particular image, the secondary processing circuit may be further configured to cause the primary processing circuit and the primary camera sensor to exit a reduced power mode. The primary camera sensor may be further configured, in response to the exiting, to capture a different image. The primary processing circuit may also be configured to process the different image to validate the particular object of interest.

Oftentimes a site owner requires onsite capture devices (e.g., still or video cameras, microphones) for reasons of security, increasing revenue (e.g., streaming content to subscribed users), or otherwise. In the current state of the art various capture devices come from a variety of vendors and are often only adapted to work with software from the same manufacturer. It can be frustrating for a site owner to attempt to cobble together a capture and distribution system from individual parts and devices. Discussed herein is an approach to producing a capture and distribution system customized to an owner's particular needs and a site's particular characteristics in which capture devices are at least partially factory wired, aimed, and commissioned so to reduce both time on site to install of said capture devices and potential errors in the installation, and in a manner that in at least some cases adds value for the owner.

A CMOS image sensor for a code reader in an optical code recognition system incorporates a digital processing circuit that applies a calculation process to the capture image data as said data acquired by the sequential readout circuit of the sensor, in order to calculate a macro-image from the capture image data, which corresponds to location information of code(s) in the capture image, and transmit this macro-image in the image frame following the capture image data, in the footer of the frame.
