The invention discloses a deep sea trapping camera lander system. The deep sea trapping camera lander system comprises a floating ball device, a power supply device which is arranged in the floating ball device, and a USB (universal serial bus) hub, an acceleration recorder, a remote-control timing switch, an iridium satellite digital transmission GPS (global positioning system) terminal and a light trapping camera device, which are powered by the power supply device and are also arranged in the floating ball device, as well as a storage barrel which is arranged at the lower part of the floating ball device, wherein a cage is arranged below the storage barrel, a central supporting passage for communicating the top surface with the bottom surface of the cage is arranged in the middle part of the cage, an electromagnet which is connected with the remote-control timing switch is arranged in the storage barrel, a cylindrical iron block which is sucked by the electromagnet is arranged below the storage barrel, the cylindrical iron block is arranged in the central supporting passage, and the lower part of the cylindrical iron block is connected with an iron ball through a fiber rope. By adopting the deep sea trapping camera lander system, the whole process is recorded via the camera while the effective trapping is realized; a cage door can be automatically closed, and the trapping result is reliable; by adopting the electromagnetic power-off release way, the floating of an instrument cabin can be guaranteed even in power failure caused by different malfunction, so that the risk can be greatly reduced.
