Abstract

A camera image correction system includes an image correction device and an internet protocol camera intercommunicating with the image correction device. The image correction device includes an input module, a signal processing module, and a wireless communications module. The input module inputs and generates correction instructions that the signal processing module processes. The wireless communications module transmits the correction images to the internet protocol camera. The internet protocol camera includes an antenna, a system on chip, and a signal control module. The antenna receives the correction instruction; the signal control module processes the correction instructions to generate command signals. The system on chip controls the internet protocol camera according to the command signals to obtain monitoring images, the monitoring images are processed by the signal control module and transmitted to the image correction device through the antenna and the wireless communications module.
