The invention belongs to the technical field of cameras, in particular to a camera for remote monitoring of engineering construction, comprising a spherical camera, a rack, a circular arc strip, a strip soft magnet, a transparent frame cover, a U-shaped pallet, and a half gear block , a first motor, an electric turntable, a first ring magnet, a sliding rod, a slip ring, a U-shaped seat, a second ring magnet, a gear, a U-shaped plate frame and a second motor. The design of the invention is reasonable, which is conducive to the rotation of the monitoring camera port on the vertical plane, and is convenient for monitoring the surrounding high-altitude things. , the unfolding and closing structure is added, which is beneficial to protect the surveillance camera and buffer the impact of external force, so as to achieve the effect of shock absorption. The transparent frame covers are rotated upward to close each other.
