Abstract
An IP camera is provided. The IP camera includes a camera lens, an imaging unit, an IR cut filter, a motor, and a control circuit. The motor controls the position of the IR cut filter. The control circuit outputs a first pulse signal to drive the motor to move the IR cut filter such that light that passes through the camera lens reaches the imaging unit without passing through the IR cut filter. The control circuit controls the motor and prevents the motor from heat-related damage.
