Abstract

A method and an apparatus for controlling an infrared lamp and a four-lens adjustable camera are provided. Aspects of the disclosure include determining, for each of a plurality of lenses of a four-lens adjustable camera, a brightness change rate between a picture captured by the lens when a first infrared lamp group is not turned on and a picture captured by the lens when the first infrared lamp group is turned on. Embodiments of the invention further include determining a lens with a largest brightness change rate among the plurality of lenses as a lens bound to the first infrared lamp group. Aspects of the present application improve the light compensation effect of the first infrared lamp group on the premise that the first infrared lamp group is fixed.
