US Patent 11546514 Reducing false triggers in motion-activated cameras

This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for controlling motion-activated cameras. The present implementations more specifically relate to reducing false triggers in motion-activated camera systems. In some implementations, a motion-activated camera system may include a camera, a first motion sensor having a wide field-of-view (FOV), and a second motion sensor having a narrow FOV. In some aspects, the motion-activated camera system may be configured to operate in a wide-FOV mode or a narrow-FOV mode. In some implementations, the first motion sensor may trigger the camera to capture images of a scene responsive to motion detected in the wide FOV when the system is configured to operate in the wide-FOV mode. In some other implementations, the second motion sensor may trigger the camera to capture images of the scene responsive to motion detected in the narrow FOV when the system is configured to operate in the narrow-FOV mode.
