What affects camera boot time?
I'm just wondering this...
Some camera startup/boot in seconds, while others take about a minute, why?
Examples:
Boot in seconds: some firefighting TICs, thermal cores, seek compact, seek reveal, visible-light cameras
Boot in a minute: some firefighting TICs, flir handheld cameras, flir one, seek shot.
(Not considering sensor stabilizing or cooling time here.)
Well things getting tangled because there's no pattern to me:
Not determined by cost, target buyers, form factor, brand name, features...
I was thinking it's because the system architecture, FPGA based boot fast, and OS based boot slow. But after knowing many visible-light cameras run an OS(Canon on Dos Sony on Linux, etc) and still boot up instantly, I'm lost.
This seems to be a question more about embedded systems, but I'm having while playing with thermal cameras, I'm happy to hear your opinions
