US Patent 10033923 Motorized camera with automated image capture

A motorized camera captures images of an object detected within one or more of its detection areas. The motorized camera moves or repositions its movable imaging device to target various locations, and captures one or more images including the object and before, during, or as the imaging device is moved. One or more sensors monitor the detection areas for the object and identify the detection area at which the object is present. Various operations of the motorized camera can be conditioned on specific circumstances or environmental conditions relevant to image capture or the operation of the motorized camera.
