  • Patent number: 10527861
    Abstract: A color separation prism includes a filter, a first prism, a second prism, and a third prism. The first prism allows incidence of light transmitted through the filter, and the first reflective film reflects a first color component of the visible light and a part of the invisible light, among the light beams incident on the first prism. The second prism emits the light reflected by a second reflective film, and the second reflective film reflects the second color component of the visible light and a part of the invisible light, among the light beams incident on the second prism. The third prism emits the light transmitted through the second reflective film. The first reflective film and the second reflective film allocate the invisible light and the visible light emitted from each prism so as to obtain approximately uniform amount of the light.

  • Patent number: 8827578
    Abstract: A dome camera includes a camera lens capable of rotating in a tilt direction, and a dome cover for covering the camera lens. A tilt rotation axis of the camera lens is positioned more in a zenith direction than a center of the dome cover, and a polarizing filter or a partially darkening filter is inserted on an optical axis of the camera lens as a tilt angle of the camera lens becomes larger than a predetermined threshold angle. According to this dome camera, both securing of a wide field of view and reduction in the image quality deterioration may be achieved when capturing an image in a direction at a large tilt angle (a direction near the horizontal direction).
