The present invention discloses a
water flow-driven rotary fixed-point
underwater monitoring apparatus. With the monitoring apparatus provided by the invention adopted, the
visual angle range of monitoring image
pickup / photographing of an image
pickup device or photographing device of the monitoring apparatus can be greatly increased with the time of endurance of the monitoring apparatus not affected. The monitoring apparatus comprises a floating device, a connecting
rope, a base, a supporting frame, a transparent box body rotationally arranged on the supporting frame by a vertical rotation shaft, a vertical guiding
pipe arranged on the supporting frame, a
piston body slidably arranged in the vertical guiding
pipe, a lower limiting block which is arranged at the inner side surface of the vertical guiding
pipe and is located below the
piston body, a return spring which can make the
piston body move downwardly to make the piston body reset, a vertical flow guiding pipe arranged on the supporting frame, and a cleaning flow guiding pipe arranged on the supporting frame; an image
pickup device and / or a photographing device is arranged in the transparent box body; one end of the vertical rotation shaft extends into the vertical flow guiding pipe; and the vertical rotation shaft is provided with a driving
impeller located in the vertical flow guiding pipe.
