    摘要: This application is directed to a surveillance camera system including a magnet mount for physically receiving a camera module. The camera module includes a housing having an exterior surface of a first shape. A surface of the magnet mount has a second shape that is substantially concave and complementary to the first shape, and is configured to engage the exterior surface of the housing of the camera module. A magnetic material is disposed inside the magnet mount and configured to magnetically couple to a magnetic material of the camera module. A friction pad is embedded on the surface of the magnet mount, has a substantially concave shape and protrudes beyond the second surface. The friction pad is configured to come into contact with the exterior surface of the housing of the camera module at least via a peripheral edge of the substantially concave friction pad.

    摘要: This application is directed to a camera that includes a housing, a lens assembly and a plurality of electronic components. The lens assembly is arranged at a front portion of the housing and configured for focusing light received from outside of the camera. The plurality of electronic components is arranged at the front portion of the housing, and further includes an image sensor coupled to receive light through the lens assembly, a memory for storing information, a processor for processing information from the image sensor, and a wireless communication module for wirelessly communicating with an electronic device. The camera further includes a heat dissipation element arranged at a rear portion of the housing and located between the plurality of electronic components and a rear surface of the housing. The heat dissipation element is configured to transfer heat from the plurality of electronic components to the rear portion of the housing.

    摘要: This document describes techniques directed to a modular floodlight system. The modular floodlight system includes a floodlight device having a main housing that supports multiple floodlights and a modular camera device. The main housing includes a magnetic mount that magnetically secures the camera device to a mounting surface and enables 3-axis articulation of the camera device relative to the main housing. The main housing also includes a power supply unit that supplies electrical power to the camera device and the floodlights. In aspects, the floodlights are assembled to opposing sides of the main housing. In addition, the main housing includes passive infrared sensors that expand and supplement motion-detection capabilities of the camera device. The modular aspect of the modular floodlight system enables the camera device to be easily replaced with another modular device, simplifies installation for consumers, and increases an ability of the modular floodlight system to be reworked.

    摘要: This application is directed to a camera assembly that includes a camera module and a magnet mount for physically receiving the camera module. The camera module includes a housing having an exterior rear surface of a first shape and a magnetic plate attached to a rear portion of the housing. The magnet mount includes a receiving surface of a second shape and a magnetic material covered by the receiving surface. The second shape of the receiving surface is substantially complementary to the first shape of the exterior rear surface of the housing of the camera module, and the receiving surface is configured to engage the exterior rear surface of the housing of the camera module. The magnetic material of the magnet mount magnetically couples to the magnetic plate of the camera module.
