A capsule camera with onboard data storage includes a camera capable of capturing images including an initial image frame and a next image frame. The onboard data storage is capable of storing image data associated with the images. The capsule camera also includes a volatile memory unit capable of temporarily storing the image frames, a control subsystem capable of comparing the image frames, and transmitting the next image frame to the onboard data storage if the next image frame differs from the initial image frame. A method for recording video with a capsule camera includes capturing an initial image frame using a camera, capturing a next image frame at an initial duration after capturing the initial image frame, and comparing the initial image frame and the next image frame, and optionally transmitting the next image frame to the onboard data storage. |
