Patent number: 11962941Abstract: Apparatus, systems and techniques are provided associated with a battery powered wireless camera, which includes an internal battery and an image capture module to capture images. Further, the battery powered wireless camera may include a first communication module and a second communication module configured for wireless communication. If the second communication module is powered down, the image capture module may store captured infrared images. If activation is triggered, the second communication module may power up and wirelessly transmit the captured images. In an example, the wireless camera may further include an infrared detection module configured for capturing infrared images. Further, the activation may include any one of a noise, a motion, a timing, a command, and an infrared detection. Also, the first communication module may wirelessly communicate utilizing a first communication mode and the second communication module may wirelessly communicate utilizing a second communication mode.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: AXIS ABInventors: Jon Siann, Dennis James Espey

Patent number: 11589009Abstract: Apparatus, systems and techniques associated with battery powered wireless camera systems are provided. In an example, a system includes a battery powered wireless camera including an internal battery to provide energy and an image capture module to capture infrared images. Further, the battery powered wireless camera includes a low-bandwidth radio transceiver which may wirelessly communicate with a base station, and may receive commands for operation of the battery powered wireless camera. The battery powered wireless camera also includes a high-bandwidth radio transceiver which may wirelessly communicate with the base station. If the high-bandwidth radio transceiver is powered down, the image capture module may store captured infrared images. If an infrared detection module triggers activation, the high-bandwidth radio transceiver may power up and transmit the captured images to the base station.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2020Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: AXIS ABInventors: Jon Siann, Dennis James Espey
