Surveillance camera

Title:

Surveillance camera

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP6250101

Kind Code:

B2

Abstract:

A monitoring camera (1) is equipped with a touch sensor (21) in a camera cover glass (5), which senses positions of objects touching or being close to the cover glass. The touch sensor aids the camera in separating image data depicting objects on the cover glass from image data depicting the monitored scene. This information may be used when choosing image capture settings, by indicating to the camera which image regions are less important to take into account, and to avoid false alarms which otherwise may occur when rain drops (17) or insects (19) on the cover glass are mistaken for events in the scene.
