Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for determining a presence of an object located close to a lens (301) of a camera monitoring a scene. A first infrared illumination source (302) arranged to illuminate the scene from a first angle is activated. A first image (304) is acquired by the image capturing device (300). The first infrared illumination source (302) is deactivated, and a second infrared illumination source (306) arranged to illuminate the scene from a second angle is activated. A second image (308) is acquired by the image capturing device (300). Intensity information of the first image (304) and the second image (308) is compared to determine the presence of an object located close to the lens (301).

The present invention refers to an interactive multimedia kiosk with a touch-sensitive (touch-screen) system to be integrated as urban furniture, specially outdoors, with online interactive contents about the latest news and promoting the economy, culture and tourism of the region where the device is installed, characterized by disclosing a structure comprising: a physical structure in lacquered steel with paint finish in black lacquer with anti-graffiti treatment; glass coating (front and rear), laminated and tempered with 3+3 mm; 46″ screen with light sensors and an integrated PC; Foiltouch 46″ Projected capacitive film, placed between the glass coating; digital cameras; which also includes an activated alarm system; and a cooling system.

A mounting assembly (10) for an electronic device (11) is disclosed. The mounting assembly (10) comprises an attachment part (12), a base (16), and an arm (14). The attachment part (12) is coupled to the arm (14) and the arm (14) is coupled to the base (16) such that the arm (14) is lockingly rotatable relative the base (16) about a rotational axis (18). The arm (14) comprises a housing and a locking member (20) being provided with a locking protrusion (30). The locking member (20) is coupled to the housing such that the locking protrusion (30) is radially displaceable in relation to the rotational axis (18). The base (16) is provided with a set of radially extending locking grooves (22). The locking protrusion (30) is received by one locking groove (22a) in response to a displacement of the locking member (20), whereby the arm (16) is rotationally locked.

A remote surveillance assembly includes a base that is positionable in a vehicle and a pole that is coupled to and extends upwardly from the base. A pan tilt zoom (PTZ) video camera is movably disposed on the pole to capture surveillance of the environment around the vehicle. A pair of articulated arms is each of the articulated arms is movably coupled to the pole. A pair of digital cameras is each coupled to a respective one of the articulated arms to capture surveillance of the environment around the vehicle. A digital video recorder is coupled to the base and a transceiver is coupled to the base. The transceiver is in wireless communication with an extrinsic communication network to broadcast the data stored in the digital video recorder to a remote data storage device.

Smart Door device is a two-part single compact fully automated HD digital surveillance unit, comprising smart phone technology and tablet technology and complex computer sound, light and motion sensors. Speech technology Photographic technology, toxin and metal detector, GPS, alarms and LED scrolling display and intercom, all internal parts, a two part unit that's connected to each other through a hole in the upper center of the door, an intelligent identifying system that providing information and accurately answers questions by phone or at door.

A multi-functional camera with various power adapters may capture images/video with corresponding environmental data. The multi-functional camera may implement wireless charging, and enable limited surveillance functionalities under a power saving mode.

A video capturing device configured to capture video data, the image capturing device comprising: an image processing pipeline configured to generate a video stream from the captured video data; an encryption key activating module configured to, upon request, activate an encryption key and deactivate any previously activated encryption key used for encrypting the video stream, such that only one encryption key is activated to be used for encryption of the video stream at each instance in time; an encryption scheduler module configured to, at a predetermined time interval, instruct the encryption key activating module to activate an encryption key; an event handling module configured to, as a response to receiving indications of a detected event, instruct the encryption key activating module to activate an encryption key; an encryption module configured to encrypt the video stream using the one activated encryption key.

The present document describes an electronic device with a structural midframe and associated methods. The architectural design of the electronic device (e.g., a security camera) is such that its components are assembled onto the midframe to form a subassembly and the housing is assembled after the subassembly. The midframe includes various features that enable multiple printed circuit boards, a camera subassembly, a front housing member, a heatsink, and a heat spreader to be assembled onto the midframe outside of the housing. The midframe can also include a hinge-bearing surface forming a portion of a ball joint for supporting rotational movement of the electronic device. Accordingly, the electronic device uses the midframe, rather than the housing, as a structural member.

A telematics camera system includes a housing, including a plurality of sensors, a rotatable camera to capture an image of a first scene, a camera module receptacle configured to receive a second camera, an input port configured to be connected in communication with an electronic engine control module of a vehicle, and a side cover detachably secured to the housing and configured to partially cover an opening of the camera module receptacle. The telematics system with multiple cameras can also include a modular camera configured to be installed in the camera module receptacle and a bracket, the modular camera and bracket installed onto the housing by removing the side cover, installing the modular camera and bracket onto the housing, and securing the side cover onto the housing. Securing the side cover onto the housing locks the viewing angle of the rotatable camera and the modular camera.
