A security camera with a motion detection function, which comprises: an image sensor, configured to capture original images; a variation level computation circuit, configured to compute image variation levels of the original images; a long term computation circuit, configured to calculate a first average level for the image variation levels corresponding to M of the original images; a short term computation circuit, configured to calculate a second average level for the image variation levels corresponding to N of the original images, wherein M>N; and a motion determining circuit, configured to determine whether a motion of an object appears in a detection range of the image sensor according to a relation between the first average level and the second average level. By such security camera, the interference caused by noise or small object can be avoided. Accordingly, the motion detection of the security camera can be more accurate.

Security camera and motion detecting method for security camera

An optical detecting device with a tracking function includes an image acquiring module and a processor. The image acquiring module is grouped into a first cluster and a second cluster of pixels. The first cluster and the second cluster are arranged adjacent to each other, and used to respectively acquire a first imaging result and a second imaging result both containing an indicating mark. The processor is electrically connected to the image acquiring module and adapted to track a proceeding direction of the indicating mark by computing difference between the first imaging result and the second imaging result. The optical detecting device further includes a memory module electrically connected to the processor, and the processor analyzes the computed difference via a lookup table stored inside the memory module to determine the proceeding direction.
