Abstract

An object detection system for use in residential or commercial buildings includes a housing for retaining a camera, a radar antenna, and an actuator. The camera has a first field of view, and the radar antenna has a second field of view. The actuator is configured to selectively move the camera. The system further includes computer memory and a processor in data communication with the camera, the radar antenna, the actuator, and the computer memory. The processor, using programming contained in the computer memory, causes the camera to move based on camera position data and data from the radar antenna.
