    Abstract: A monitoring and photographing module includes one primary camera and N secondary cameras. The primary camera and the N secondary cameras are configured to collect images, and a frame rate at which any secondary camera collects an image is less than a frame rate at which the primary camera collects an image. Regions monitored by the N secondary cameras respectively cover N different regions in a region monitored by the primary camera, and a focal length of any secondary camera is greater than a focal length of the primary camera.

    Abstract: This application discloses a photographing apparatus and method, and relates to the field of image processing. When a high-quality image in a low illumination environment is obtained, costs are reduced, a size is reduced, and product compatibility is improved. The method includes: controlling a light filtering unit to: transparently transmit visible light in incident light and block infrared light in the incident light in a first image exposure interval, transparently transmit the infrared light in the incident light in a first time period of a second image exposure interval, and block the incident light in a second time period of the second image exposure interval; performing, by using an image sensor to obtain a first image, and performing photoelectric imaging on a light ray to obtain a second image; and synthesizing the first image and the second image, to generate a first target image.

    Abstract: An optical path switching method is applied to a surveillance module. The method includes: determining a target magnification; and (i) when the target magnification is less than or equal to a maximum magnification of a camera, setting a magnification of the camera to the target magnification, determining that a reflection element is at a first location or in a first working state, and performing image capture by using the camera alone; or (ii) when the target magnification is greater than a maximum magnification of the camera, setting a magnification of the camera to a first magnification, determining that the reflection element is at a second location or in a second working state, and performing image capture by using both the camera and a teleconverter, where a product of the first magnification and a magnification of the teleconverter is the target magnification. The method increases a surveillance distance while reducing costs.
