Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of camera mounting pan / tilt platforms, in particular to a novel camera mounting pan / tilt platform. Background Art

[0002] The camera mounting pan-tilt head is a mounting platform composed of two AC motors or DC motors, used to install cameras. The pan-tilt head can be remotely controlled by the control system to control its rotation and movement direction. It is mainly used for outdoor and indoor monitoring in conjunction with the camera. It is widely used, especially in traffic road monitoring, to facilitate relevant personnel to understand various emergencies on the road.

[0003] Mounting a camera pan-tilt head generally requires the installer to first bury the mounting rod into the ground where the camera needs to be installed and fix it, then fix the mounting plate on the mounting rod, and then fix the multiple threaded holes on the mounting pan-tilt head to the mounting plate. The entire installation process takes a long time, and the installer's long installation time can easily lead to a decrease in their physical strength, resulting in a decrease in subsequent installation efficiency. In the later stage, when the mounting plate needs to be separated from the mounting pan-tilt head, in order to ensure the stability of the mounting pan-tilt head, the bolts and nuts are very likely to have an interference fit, which increases the difficulty of subsequent disassembly and is very likely to damage the mounting plate or the mounting part of the mounting pan-tilt head, thereby increasing unnecessary costs.
