Abstract
Systems and methods for camera devices with low boot time are provided. In one example embodiment, a user input is received at an interface of a camera. In response to the user input, a low-power processor boots a image processor. The image processor then captures camera data and writes the camera data to memory before automatically powering down. In certain embodiments, a low-power wireless connection from the camera to a client device is established. Based on this connection, the low-power processor initiates boot-up of a high-speed processor and wireless communication circuitry, which is used to transmit the camera data to the client device.
