Abstract

A motion detection camera device includes a housing, a camera, at least two motion detectors, and a controller. The camera is located within the housing. The motion detectors on the housing are used to detect motions a distance away from the housing, whereby a core zone includes partial detecting zones of each and every motion detector and the core zone within a picture taking zone of the camera. The controller is for controlling the camera, whereby receiving signals from the motion detectors and giving a picture taking signal to the camera when an object enters the core zone. As such, a desired object in the position of picture is controlled and over sensitivity or over insensitivity of a single motion detector is avoided.

Claims

1. A motion detection camera device comprises:

a housing;

a camera located within the housing;

at least two motion detectors on the housing to detect motions a distance away from the housing, whereby a core zone including partial detecting zones of each and every motion detector and the core zone within a picture taking zone of the camera;

a controller for controlling the camera, whereby receiving signals from the motion detectors and giving a picture taking signal to the camera when an object enters the core zone.

2. The motion detection camera device of claim 1, further including a flash on the housing.

3. The motion detection camera device of claim 1, further including at least one indictor.

4. The motion detection camera device of claim 1, wherein the motion detectors include infrared sensors.

5. The motion detection camera device of claim 1, further including at least one battery located within the housing.
