  • Patent number: 9872340
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for controlling a heating device in a motorized camera directing arrangement including a motor device is disclosed. The method comprising measuring a voltage over the motor device, measuring a current conducted at least to the motor device, measuring a temperature relating to the motorized camera directing arrangement, controlling power distributed to the heating device based on the measured temperature and on the measured current, and feeding power to the heating device independent of the measured temperature and the measured current in the event that the measuring of the voltage over the motor device indicates a voltage level higher than a predetermined threshold value.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9684226
    Abstract: An illumination device for illuminating a camera's field of view, including a light source, and a reflector unit having reflecting sections is provided. Each reflecting section is associated with a light distribution, wherein the light distributions for different reflecting sections are different. The reflector unit is arranged such that light emitted by the light source is deflected by one of said reflecting sections being selected based on the camera's field of view. A method for illuminating a camera's field of view is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20120213503
    Abstract: An illumination device performs a method for illuminating a scene monitored by a camera. The illumination device includes a first light emitting source having a first lens arranged so that the first light emitting source, at a first distance from the illumination device, provides illumination essentially within a first area of a predetermined size. A second light emitting source of the illumination device has a second lens arranged so that the second light emitting source, at a second distance from the illumination device, provides illumination essentially within a second area of the predetermined size. The output intensity of the first and the second light emitting source is individually controllable.
