A camera system for the exterior region of a building, comprising a camera for producing image data of surroundings of the camera system, comprising a network module for connecting the camera system to a data network, contains an evaluation module configured to carry out the following from a predeterminable start time to an end time: detect a code pattern in the image data, and detect an authorization code and access data for the data network in a detected code pattern, and check a detected authorization code in respect of the validity thereof, and log the camera system onto the data network with the access data in the case of a valid authorization code and setting a successful log on time as end time.

A security camera system using a power supply by an electromagnetic induction scheme comprises; a CT core detachably installed on a power transmission and distribution line and producing electric power by the electromagnetic induction scheme and; a power transformer for transforming an AC power generated from the CT core to a DC voltage; a camera module for recording a security video using power supplied by the transformer; a wireless communication module for transmitting an audio and a video data captured by the camera module; and a stabilizer module for correcting the shake of a video when capturing a security video. The security camera system provided with the power supply device as a main power supply thereto generating an electric power by the electromagnetic induction scheme using the current flowing around the power distribution line saves time and cost related to power supply construction so that the productivity may be improved.

A monitoring system includes a first camera having a housing and an image sensor positioned in or on the housing and designed to detect image data corresponding to an environment of the first camera. The camera further includes a camera network access device positioned in the housing and designed to wirelessly transmit the image data. The camera further includes a local power source positioned in the housing, coupled to the image sensor and the camera network access device, and designed to store electrical power to be used by the image sensor and the camera network access device. The system also includes a hub having at least one hub network access device designed to wirelessly receive the image data from the camera network access device and to wirelessly transmit the image data to a cloud server.

A method facilitates autonomous and continuous monitoring of hazardous conditions such as wildfires, building fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, burglaries, etc. The method detects and assesses multiple parameters associated with hazardous conditions through an autonomous monitoring system (AMS) that comprises multiple autonomous monitoring devices (AMDs) installed in field. Through cameras and sensors, each AMD acquires inputs/measurements in various formats and identifies any hazardous condition thereof. With solar panels installed, each AMD can continuously monitor an environment without being dependent on a power grid. Both the AMS and AMD units use AI technologies in detecting and identifying hazardous conditions. Once a hazardous condition is identified, an AMD sends information to the AMS to verify. If confirmed, the method sends alarms to both emergency responders/authorities and any entity corresponding to the AMD for immediate action. Thus, the method provides efficient and effective monitoring for hazardous conditions to save lives and minimize damages.

A mounting device for a monitoring sensor that can be affixed to any wall, or walls, or ceiling or ceilings or ceilings and walls, and can be affixed to any corner or any wall-ceiling interface regardless of the included angle. The invention has four different mounting assemblies for different mounting locations and different sizes of monitoring sensors. Each of the four mounting assemblies is available in a single orifice design and a multiple orifice design. Each embodiment shares the same attachment method of a ferro-magnetic mounting plate to a magnetic mount, each with double faced adhesive tape on one of their faces. The mounting plates are affixed to the building structure with the double sided tape and the magnetic mount is affixed to the monitoring sensor with double sided tape.

An enclosure that can be utilized with an image capture device for digitizing documents can include a bin having a platform panel, an aperture panel, and side support panels. The aperture panel comprises an aperture passing through it. Documents or objects may be gathered and/or stored within the bin. When a user desires to digitally capture the documents or objects, the user may turn the bin on its side so that the aperture panel is on top and the platform panel is on bottom, place a document on the platform with the document facing the aperture, place an image capture device on the aperture panel with the image capture sensor aligned with the aperture and therefore facing the document, and capture an image of the document.

A video camera assembly, includes a movable body to house a video camera and coupled in a rotatable manner to a base body. The base body has a cavity with a base portion of the base body and a closing wall which has a seat defining a through hole. The cavity houses a shaft on the first end of which the movable body is mounted, said first end of the shaft passes through the through hole of the closing wall and is coupled to the through hole by means of a first bearing inserted in the seat. The end of the shaft opposite to the first end is supported by a rolling type second bearing, and is connected to the base body. The second bearing is inserted in an annular seat made of material which projects from the base portion of the cavity towards the closing wall.

The invention relates to a device for holding a camera, which serves in particular as a parking assistance in a vehicle, said device having a housing (10) in which a carriage (20), to which said camera can be secured, is movably accommodated, wherein said carriage (20) can be driven by a gear system (30). The gear system (30) has a first swiveling element (31) and a second swiveling element (32) which are connected to the carriage (20) in an articulated matter, and each swiveling element (31, 32) is rotatably mounted on the housing (10) in such a way and the carriage (20) is rotatably mounted on each swiveling element (31, 32) in such a way that the carriage (20), between a resting position (A) and an operating position (B), carries out at least a first movement phase (I) and a second movement phase (II).

An electronic device including a mounting device configured to couple to a surface, a head removably coupled to the mounting device and including a housing, a magnet attached to the mounting device, and a sensor disposed within the housing. The sensor detects a magnetic field associated with the magnet when the head is in a first position relative to the mounting device and detects the magnetic field associated with the magnet when the head is in a second position relative to the mounting device, the second position being different than the first position.

A video camera assembly, includes a movable body to house a video camera and coupled in a rotatable manner to a base body. The base body has a cavity with a base portion of the base body and a closing wall which has a seat defining a through hole. The cavity houses a shaft on the first end of which the movable body is mounted, said first end of the shaft passes through the through hole of the closing wall and is coupled to the through hole by means of a first bearing inserted in the seat. The end of the shaft opposite to the first end is supported by a rolling type second bearing, and is connected to the base body. The second bearing is inserted in an annular seat made of material which projects from the base portion of the cavity towards the closing wall.
