This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201510065871.6 filed on Feb. 9, 2015, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.
The subject matter herein generally relates to infrared detecting switch for surveillance cameras.
Surveillance cameras may include video cameras which can be used for observing an area. The surveillance cameras are often connected to recording devices through network, and may be viewed for security reasons.
Implementations of the present technology will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the attached figures.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure.
Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented.
The term “coupled” is defined as connected, whether directly or indirectly through intervening components, and is not necessarily limited to physical connections. The connection can be such that the objects are permanently connected or releasably connected. The term “comprising,” when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series, and the like.
The amplifier circuit 200 includes an amplifier 210, a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, and a fifth resistor R5. The amplifier 210 includes an inverting input terminal, a non-inverting input terminal, an output terminal, and a power terminal. The non-inverting input terminal of the amplifier 210 is electrically coupled to the source of the detector 110 via the third resistor R3. The inverting input terminal of the amplifier 210 is grounded via the fourth resistor R4. The inverting input terminal of the amplifier 210 is electrically coupled to the output terminal of the amplifier 210 via the fifth resistor R5. The power terminal of the amplifier 210 receives the first DC voltage.
The switch circuit 300 includes a MOSFET Q, a sixth resistor R6, and a seventh resistor R7. The MOSFET Q includes a gate, a source, and a drain. The gate of the MOSFET Q is electrically coupled to the output terminal of the amplifier 210. The source of the MOSFET Q is grounded via the sixth resistor R6 and is electrically coupled to the surveillance camera 400. The drain of the MOSFET Q receives a supplying DC voltage via the seventh resistor R7. In one embodiment, the MOSFET Q is an n-channel MOSFET. The supplied DC voltage is about +3.3 volts. A resistance of the sixth resistor R6 is about 1000 ohm. A resistance of the seven resistor R7 is about 1000 ohm
In use, when a person moves into a surveillance area of the surveillance camera 400, the detector 110 detects infrared radiation emitted by the person. The detector 110 outputs a voltage signal to the amplifier 210. The non-inverting input terminal of the amplifier 210 receives the voltage signal and amplifies the voltage signal. The MOSFET Q turns on when the gate of the MOSFET Q receives the amplified voltage signal. The surveillance camera 400 is coupled to the supplying DC voltage and being supplied. The surveillance camera 400 can work to take videos.
In one embodiment, the detector 110 can detect an infrared radiation which is can be recognized as a person to output the voltage signal.
The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Many details are often found in the art such as the other features of an infrared detecting switch for surveillance camera. Therefore, many such details are neither shown nor described. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the details, including in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure, up to and including the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims. It will therefore be appreciated that the embodiments described above may be modified within the scope of the claims.
