Camera assembly with concave-shaped front face

This is a camera designed for smart home environments. It has an image sensor and an infrared light source inside. Its distinctive feature is a front cover that curves inward, like a dish. This curved cover lets both visible light reach the camera's sensor and infrared light pass out to illuminate the scene. Specifically, the design separates the curved front into an inner part for visible light and an outer part for infrared light, with a barrier between them.

Why it matters: Precision optical manufacturing and multi-layer coating techniques have advanced since 2021, making this complex, multi-functional concave element more cost-effective to produce at scale.
