CAMERA AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A camera and a control method thereof are provided. The camera includes a lens, one or more operation units, an image sensor, a thermal sensor, and a control unit. The image sensor is for receiving an image captured by the lens. The thermal sensor is for sensing and outputting the temperature inside the camera. An operation unit performs corresponding action according to an operation power. The control unit is configured to control the magnitude of the operation power of the operation unit(s) so that a monitoring power of the camera is close to but not greater than a default power threshold, and that the sensing temperature is less than or equal to a first default temperature threshold. Wherein, the monitoring power is the sum of the operation power of the operation unit(s). The sensed temperature corresponds to the operation power of the one or more operation units.

1. A camera, comprising:
a lens; at least one operation unit actuating according to at least one operation power correspondingly; an image sensor for receiving images from the lens; a thermal sensor for performing temperature sensing and outputting a sensing temperature; and a control unit for controlling an amount of the at least one operation power to make a monitoring power owned by the camera close to but not greater than a default power threshold, and to make the sensing temperature not greater than a first default temperature threshold, wherein the monitoring power is the sum of the at least one operation power and the sensing temperature corresponds to the at least one operation power.
