Abstract: An unattended camera system for automatically capturing images at a site, especially including a remote construction site. Accurate focusing of the camera system is especially critical to obtain evidentiary-quality images. Four different focusing processes are executed to ensure these quality images, including: a laboratory setup focus process, an initial field setup process when the camera system is delivered to the remote site, a focus change operation when the system mission is changed, and a refocus operation when a maintenance and repair operation is performed in the camera system.

Abstract: A system and method for reviewing and editing a series of time lapse photographs, using a machine learning system to review sequentially the individual photographs in the series, identify features in the photographs which features may have been classified as undesirable and flag an individual photograph as undesirable, remove photographs flagged as undesirable from the series set, review the remaining images from the series set of photographs for lighting and composition characteristics and further selection, process the selected photographs for image stabilization, and assembling the processed photographs into a single video for viewing.

Abstract: A retractable camera platform system allows a mounted camera to be hidden while not in use. The system retracts a camera platform into a recess in the ceiling, wall and the like of a room, building, hallway or other structure. The system includes the camera platform that opens a lowering assembly having doors so that the camera may deploy when needed. The lowering assembly or cover hides the camera and the associated frame structure when not in use. Actuators and linear slide tracks raise and lower the camera as desired. The lowering assembly may be removed from the frame structure.

Abstract: An all-weather, remote camera system includes a camera housing and other components, such as a network connection, that allows the system to be placed in locations for capturing images over periods of time. The camera system includes a megapixel camera linked to a device server and image storage device to capture images under a variety of conditions. The camera system also includes a zoom capability to generate panoramic images. The zoom operations are performed within the camera system at its location.
