    Abstract: A system is provided for reducing infrared (IR) light emitting diode (LED) power in a night mode for LED operations. The system may include an input power source, one or more LEDs coupled to the input power source, an auto-exposure controller (AEC) coupled to one or more LEDs, and one or more transistor switches coupled between the one or more LEDs and the AEC. The AEC may be coupled to an image sensor of an imaging system and may configure attributes of exposure frames for the image sensor. The AEC may generate a plurality of pulses that control one or more transistor switches. The AEC may execute an algorithm that synchronizes the activation of one or more LEDs to occur during the exposure frame.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for improving audio quality. Sensor data is received from an accelerometer of a camera. Based on measurements captured by the sensor data, a position of a lens of the camera and a current field of view (FOV) of the camera is determined. Audio beamforming is performed based on the current FOV of the camera by selecting a subset of microphones disposed on the camera to record audio based on the position of the lens and the current FOV of the camera; and activating the subset of microphones disposed on the camera, where microphones outside the selected subset of microphones are excluded from activation so that audio originating outside of the current FOV is removed.

    Abstract: A method is provided for low light exposure control during night vision. The method may include actively illuminating a region by using a plurality of IR LEDs. The IR LEDs are arranged so that an IR LED of the plurality of IR LEDs covers one of a plurality of zones, which combine to cover the region. The method may also include capturing an image frame by an imaging system including an image sensor. The image frame may be made up of pixels and captured using the light originating from the plurality of IR LEDs and reflected from the region onto the image sensor. The method may also include calculating auto-exposure control (AEC) parameters for the image frame to establish an average setting, recalculating AEC parameters for a first zone the plurality of zones and adjusting the power of a first IR LED of the plurality of IR LEDs.
