1. An image recording apparatus, comprising:

  • a temperature sensing module, outputting a temperature sensing signal corresponding to an ambient temperature;

    a detecting module, detecting a predetermined zone and outputting a detecting result signal corresponding thereto, wherein the detecting module further comprises a sensing element, sensing a change of the ambient temperature in the predetermined zone to output a sensing signal and a comparing circuit, comparing the sensing signal with a high threshold voltage and a low threshold voltage separately to output the detecting result signal corresponding thereto;

    an image capture module, proceeding an operation of image capturing according to the detecting result signal; and

    a control unit, controlling the operation of the image capture module according to the detecting result signal inputted from the detecting module and adapting the high threshold voltage and the low threshold voltage according to the temperature sensing signal,wherein the control unit further comprises a process unit, and a storage unit saving threshold adaption data, when the temperature sensing signal is received, a high threshold and a low threshold obtained by looking up the threshold adaption data according to the temperature sensing signal are outputted for the high threshold voltage and the low threshold voltage.
