Camera device and video viewing method thereof

Abstract

The present invention provides a camera device and a video viewing method. The device includes a camera and a camera gateway; the camera includes a camera, a first controller, and a first communication unit; the camera is connected to the first controller, and the first controller is connected to the first communication unit. unit; the first communication unit is used for communicating with the camera gateway; the camera gateway includes a second communication unit and a second controller, and the second controller is connected with the second communication unit; the second communication unit is used for communicating with the camera. According to the device and method of the present invention, without greatly increasing the battery consumption of the camera, by optimizing the hardware design and connection logic, the speed of remote viewing of real-time video can be accelerated, low power consumption and fast viewing of video can be considered, and user experience can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of computer technology, in particular to a camera device and a video watching method thereof. Background technique [0002] As modern people pay more attention to security, more and more home security cameras are used, and the technology is constantly developing. One of the development directions is battery security cameras. As the name implies, a battery security camera refers to a built-in battery in the camera, which sleeps when not working and activates full functions when working to achieve long standby. In order to prolong the standby and use time of the camera, on the one hand, a battery with a higher capacity is used, and on the other hand, the power consumption of the camera is reduced. An important aspect of reducing the power consumption of the camera is to reduce the standby power consumption. The main way to reduce the standby power consumption is to turn off the processor, image sensor and com...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the APP needs to receive an instruction to activate the camera when the user clicks on a specific camera. Otherwise, all cameras will be activated before receiving the instruction, which will easily cause the camera to start in advance, increase battery power consumption, and the user will not view all the cameras every time. Camera; and the camera starts the controller and WiFi after receiving the command, because WiFi depends on the controller to start and connect, so the working status of WiFi is connected in series, you need to start WiFi, then connect the WiFi to the gateway, and then transmit the video, and the middle one The time of the WiFi connection gateway step is very uncontrollable, because the connection efficiency is affected by the WiFi signal strength and interference, resulting in an uncontrollable time for the Unicom camera. If it is fast, the video can be passed in 1-2 seconds, and if it is slow, it will take 5 seconds or even longer

[0004] Therefore, in the prior art, there is a problem that the WiFi at the camera end cannot work independently, and needs to rely on the controller to drive the work. In this way, when the user remotely watches the camera through the APP, it needs to wait for a long time, resulting in a poor experience
