Camera system with a full view monitoring function

Abstract

A camera system with a full view monitoring function includes a base, a first camera apparatus, at least one second camera apparatus and a controller. The first camera apparatus is fixed on the base and invariably faces toward a first direction. The first camera apparatus is adapted to capture a panorama image. The second camera apparatus is movably disposed on the base and adjustably faces toward a detecting direction different from the first direction. The second camera apparatus is adapted to encircle around the first camera apparatus. The controller is electrically connected to the first camera apparatus and the second camera apparatus. The controller is adapted to analyze the panorama image to filter out a triggering zone, to encircle the second camera apparatus toward a detecting direction corresponding to the triggering zone, and to drive the second camera apparatus to capture a detecting image overlapping the triggering zone.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A camera system with a full view monitoring function, the camera system comprising:
 a protective mask;   a base connected to the protective mask to form an interior space therebetween, wherein the base comprises a rotary portion;   a first camera apparatus fixed in the interior space and invariably facing toward a first direction, the first camera apparatus being adapted to capture a panorama image; and   at least one second camera apparatus movably disposed on the base and in the interior space and adjustably facing toward a detecting direction different from the first direction, the second camera apparatus being disposed on the rotary portion, and the rotary portion being adapted to rotate about an axis parallel to the first direction   
     
     
         2 . The camera system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a rotating mechanism electrically connected to the second camera apparatus, capable of rotating the second camera apparatus relative to the base at a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction.   
     
     
         3 . The camera system of  claim 2 , wherein a view field of the second camera apparatus switchably covers a plane simultaneously parallel to the first direction and the second direction. 
     
     
         4 . The camera system of  claim 1 , wherein the base further comprises a central portion, the first camera apparatus is disposed on the central portion, the second camera apparatus is disposed on the rotary portion, and the rotary portion revolves round the central portion. 
     
     
         5 . The camera system of  claim 4 , wherein the central portion is an upright structure, the rotary portion is an annular holder or an arc holder encircling the upright structure. 
     
     
         6 . The camera system of  claim 4 , wherein the rotary portion is a tray with a central hole, the central portion passes through the central hole and is encircled by the rotary portion. 
     
     
         7 . The camera system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a controller electrically connected to the first camera apparatus and the second camera apparatus, the controller being adapted to analyze the panorama image to filter out a triggering zone, to move the second camera apparatus toward the detecting direction corresponding to the triggering zone, and to drive the second camera apparatus to capture a detecting image overlapping the triggering zone.   
     
     
         8 . The camera system of  claim 7 , wherein the controller compares the triggering zone with a threshold, and determines whether the second camera apparatus is driven to capture the detecting image according to a comparison. 
     
     
         9 . The camera system of  claim 7 , wherein the controller drives the second camera apparatus to scan the triggering zone in reciprocation since the triggering zone is greater than a view field of the second camera apparatus. 
     
     
         10 . The camera system of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 a display panel electrically connected to the controller, for simultaneously displaying the panorama image and the detecting image.   
     
     
         11 . The camera system of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 a plurality of second camera apparatuses movably disposed on the base and adjustably facing toward corresponding detecting directions.   
     
     
         12 . The camera system of  claim 11 , wherein the base comprises a central portion and a rotary portion, the first camera apparatus is disposed on the central portion, the plurality of second camera apparatuses is disposed on different position of the rotary portion in symmetry or in asymmetry, and the rotary portion revolves round the central portion. 
     
     
         13 . The camera system of  claim 11 , wherein the base comprises a central portion and a plurality of rotary portions, the first camera apparatus is disposed on the central portion, the plurality of second camera apparatuses is respectively disposed on the corresponding rotary portion, and the plurality of rotary portions respectively revolves round the central portion. 
     
     
         14 . The camera system of  claim 13 , wherein each of the rotary portions is rotatably disposed on the central portion and independent of another rotary portion.
