US Patent 11842612 Buffered video recording for video cameras

A battery-powered camera includes a system processor configured to operate in a standby mode or a full-power mode. While operating the system processor in the standby mode, the camera detects an event in a field of view of the camera; records, using an image sensor of the camera, a plurality of image frames corresponding to the field of view in which the event was detected; stores in a frame buffer the plurality of image frames; and wakes the system processor from the standby mode. While operating the system processor in the full-power mode, the camera processes the plurality of image frames stored in the frame buffer using the system processor; and provides the processed image frames for streaming.
