    Abstract: A camera system includes a lens assembly and image processing electronics internal to the camera housing and thermally coupled to the battery assembly. The battery assembly is sensitive to low ambient temperatures and may become damaged if the temperature of the assembly becomes sufficiently low. The camera system comprises a thermal management system that dissipates heat from electronic components of the camera to increase or maintain the temperature of the battery assembly. The thermal management configures the electronic components in different modes to create a step-wise increase of the resistive heat generated in the camera system and thereby increase the temperature of the components in the camera system.

    Abstract: A camera mounting assembly is disclosed for a plurality of cameras. In an example embodiment, the camera mounting assembly has a substantially cubic configuration. The camera mounting assembly includes a cubic configuration that includes one or more detachable frames. Each frame is attached to one or more other detachable frames via a securing mechanism to form the cube structure. Each frame includes one or more arms connected to a lens opening, the lens opening configured to allow a lens of the camera to have an unobstructed view for capturing images. A camera is secured to each frame by a standoff. A first end of the standoff attaches to a corner of the frame and the second end is attached to the camera. A box structure that houses electronics is located at the center of the cubic configuration and the box structure is secured to one or more frames via standoffs.

    Abstract: A camera system includes a camera with a lens assembly and image processing electronics internal to the camera housing. The lens assembly and image processing electronics are sensitive to thermal gradients within the camera body. The image processing electronics are coupled to a thermal management system that transfers thermal energy away from the electronics towards a heat diffuser. The thermal management system comprises a heat controller with a heat source, an offset arm, and a heat exchange. The thermal energy moves from the heat source to the heat exchange via the offset arm. The thermal management system also manages heat transfer between auxiliary electronic components and the image processing electronics. The thermal management system is constructed of materials that react to the compressive forces created on the system during camera assembly.
