SURVEILLANCE CAMERA DEVICE WITH A LIGHT SOURCE
First Claim
1. A surveillance camera device with a light source, comprising:
- a camera, which includes an image sensor and an image processing unit being connected to the image sensor, for capturing and processing images;
a control unit, which is connected to the camera;
a light-source control unit, which is connected to the control unit; and
a light source, which is connected to the light-source control unit;
the control unit getting the illumination of the images captured by the camera or its related parameters, and then outputting a control signal to the light-source control unit to control whether to activate the light source or to adjust the light output intensity of the light source, enabling the clear images to be captured when the illumination of the environment of the images captured by the camera is changed.

Abstract
A surveillance camera device with a light source is composed of a camera, a control unit which is connected to the camera, a light-source control unit which is connected to the control unit, and a light source. The control unit directly gets the illumination of images captured by the camera or its related parameters, to determine whether illumination of the environment of image captured is sufficient. When the illumination of the environment of image captured is changed, the control unit will send lighting control signal to the light-source control unit to activate or deactivate the light source, or adjust the light output intensity of the light source automatically, such that the illumination of the environment of the images captured can be accurately determined to provide the correct light fill-in for shooting clear images.
