10. A method of automatically capturing high-resolution images of a moving object, the method comprising:
-
capturing a plurality of low-resolution images of a scene;
detecting motion of an object moving within the scene based on a comparison of the low-resolution images;
providing a plurality of high-resolution cameras;
selectively powering on individual ones of the high-resolution cameras based on locations of the detected motion, thereby tracking the object with the high resolution cameras as the object moves within the scene; and
capturing high-resolution images of the object with the powered on cameras. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A low-power security camera system, comprising:
-
a low-resolution camera configured to capture low-resolution images of a scene, and detect motion of an object moving within the scene based on the captured images;
a plurality of high-resolution cameras, each high-resolution camera configured to capture high-resolution images of a subset of the scene; and
wherein the low-resolution camera is configured to selectively power on individual ones of the high-resolution cameras based on detected locations of the object. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
