Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of security equipment, and in particular to a security camera that can prevent lens dirtiness. Background Art

[0002] The security industry has ushered in a new era of digital monitoring. Video surveillance platforms have also entered the fast lane of development. At the same time, video surveillance equipment has begun to move towards intelligence and convenience. It is understood that the future development trend of China's video surveillance market is family-oriented and civilian-oriented. With the continuous improvement of the contemporary home network environment, the improvement of user consumption capacity, the enhancement of security awareness, and the increase in independent-living families, domestic family civilian monitoring equipment has quietly emerged, and the most commonly used security equipment is the surveillance camera. The surveillance camera is a semiconductor imaging device with the advantages of high sensitivity, strong light resistance, low distortion, small size, long life, and vibration resistance.

[0003] Patent No. CN201911109827.5 discloses an IoT camera for security, which includes a housing, a camera assembly, a cleaning mechanism, a driving mechanism and a control unit. The housing includes a receiving chamber with an opening, the camera assembly is arranged in the receiving chamber, and the lens of the camera assembly is located at the opening of the receiving chamber; the cleaning mechanism is arranged on the top of the housing, and the cleaning mechanism reciprocates along the length direction of the housing under the driving action of the driving mechanism, and cleans the lens; the control unit is connected to the IoT system in communication, and the control unit is electrically connected to the driving mechanism to control the movement of the driving mechanism. The camera controls the movement of the driving mechanism through the control unit to drive the cleaning mechanism to clean the lens, thereby improving the clarity of the shooting; and the control unit is connected to the IoT system in communication, so that the staff can remotely control the cleaning of the lens, and the work efficiency is high.

[0004] Although the above patent can remotely control the cleaning of the lens, the cleaning mechanism will completely block the lens during the cleaning process, resulting in the camera being unable to perform effective security monitoring during the cleaning process. Moreover, today's criminals will use difficult-to-clean materials (such as paint) to smear and splash the camera lens. The existing cleaning mechanism cannot play a good cleaning role, and thus cannot normally record the behavior of criminals.
