  • Patent number: 10614686
    Abstract: A dome type surveillance camera includes a planar base, and a plurality of cameras. Each of the plurality of cameras is connected to the base to be movable along a circumference on the base. The plurality of cameras includes three or more cameras. Each of the plurality of cameras is rotatable in both right and left directions with an imaging direction. The imaging direction is an optical axis direction of each of the plurality of cameras as an axis such that a panoramic image formed by images captured by each of the plurality of cameras is continuous in a horizontal direction when the plurality of cameras are disposed so as to be equidistant to each other on a semicircular arc.

  • Patent number: 9525809
    Abstract: A camera device includes: a camera including a lens; a first casing including a light-transmitting cover disposed to oppose the lens; a second casing which supports the camera within the first casing, and which surrounds the camera such that a side of the second casing opposing the light-transmitting cover is spaced from the camera with a gap; and an air flow path which allows air within the second casing to flow out toward the light-transmitting cover via the gap. The air flow path is formed between the second casing and a lens barrel of the lens.

  • Patent number: 8248204
    Abstract: A tag detecting system for detecting a movement of a person or an object that mounts an RFID tag, a moving object detecting method, and an entrance/exit management system using the moving object detecting system are provided. The tag detecting system detects a specific person or object by restricting a detection area of the RFID tag to a narrow area. Since the moving object detecting method detects a piggyback, the entrance/exit system prevents the piggyback even if there are a number of persons passing through an entrance/exit gate almost at the same time.
