    Abstract: A low-power radio frequency (“RF”) network for a system of cameras that allows for efficient transmission of images (e.g., thumbnail images) from one or more REMOTE cameras or nodes to a centralized HOME camera or node. The network includes a variety of power saving features to optimize the battery life of the REMOTE cameras while still effectively transmitting captured images through the network. The power saving features include network path optimization for message and data transmission, synchronization of the wake and sleep states for each node in the network, the transfer of images from a camera module to an RF module of a node during a sleep state, etc. The network is also configured or operable to be implemented in such a manner that nodes can be readily added or removed from the network with minimal user input and without sacrificing power savings or network message transmission efficiency.

    Abstract translation: 用于摄像机系统的低功率射频(“RF”)网络,其允许将图像(例如,缩略图)从一个或多个远程照相机或节点有效传输到集中式家用相机或节点。 该网络包括各种省电功能,以优化REMOTE摄像机的电池寿命,同时仍通过网络有效地传输捕获的图像。 省电功能包括消息和数据传输的网络路径优化,网络中每个节点的唤醒和睡眠状态的同步,在休眠状态期间将图像从相机模块传输到节点的RF模块等。 该网络还被配置或可操作以这样一种方式来实现,即节点可以以最少的用户输入容易地从网络添加或移除,而不会牺牲功率节省或网络消息传输效率。

    Abstract: This document discloses a camera assembly and a method for driving an illumination assembly of the camera assembly. The camera assembly comprises a digital camera, a power source including a battery and a super capacitor, and an illumination element powered by the power source. A first converter (e.g., a DC/DC SEPIC converter) charges the super capacitor from the battery and a second converter (e.g., a DC/DC boost converter) has a voltage input connected to the power source and a voltage output connected to the illumination element. A controller is programmed to control whether the illumination element is powered by the battery, the super capacitor, or both. The super capacitor is used to drive the illumination assembly at a high power level (e.g., when taking a still image), and the battery is used to drive the illumination assembly at a low power level (e.g., when taking a video).
