The China National Intellectual Property Administration announced on February 27, 2024, that Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co., Ltd. applied for a patent titled “Camera System” with publication number CN117615230A, with the application date of June 2023. The patent abstract reveals that the application presents a camera system comprising a dome camera with a built-in RFID component. The dome camera includes a housing component, a lens component, an antenna bracket, and a main circuit board. The antenna bracket and the RFID component are electrically connected via pogo pins, with the vertical height of the RFID component lower than that of the lens bracket and the antenna bracket. The RFID component includes a radio frequency wake-up circuit, which emits radio frequency command signals to control the electronic tag to switch from a low-power state to a working state. This application integrates RFID technology with video surveillance by incorporating an RFID component within the dome camera. Upon receiving a wake-up signal, the radio frequency wake-up circuit within the RFID component activates external electronic tags, facilitating data communication and capturing images, thereby enhancing the functionality of the dome camera for broader applications.
