Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of security monitoring technology, specifically to an adjustable window-mounted camera device. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, security cameras, doorbells, door locks, and other monitoring devices with video recording capabilities are being used more and more frequently. Amidst global geopolitical instability, the deteriorating security environment abroad has fueled security anxieties and created a strong market demand for home security systems.

[0004] Given that residential areas abroad typically have front yards, backyards, or windows, coupled with the proliferation of black market "signal jammers" for smart doorbells in some areas, the demand for "visual deterrence" among ordinary residents has surged.

[0005] Window-mounted cameras, primarily designed for burglary prevention, are quietly gaining popularity in overseas markets. Their ease of installation and strong privacy protection have made them a sought-after product. These cameras are typically flush against the window glass, making them difficult to detect from the outside. They monitor the outside through the glass, mitigating the legal risks associated with recording public areas in some overseas regions. Furthermore, in case of danger, they automatically trigger alarms and app pop-up alerts, effectively building a security barrier for the home.

[0006] However, while window-mounted cameras on the market currently have many functions and advantages, they also have many shortcomings. One of these is that the camera is fixed in a single position and cannot adjust the monitoring angle, which hinders the use of the entire camera product due to the lack of a 360-degree, blind-spot-free monitoring angle.

[0007] Therefore, the existing window-mounted camera technology still has the above shortcomings, which urgently need to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention provides an adjustable window-mounted camera device, including a camera, an adjusting ball, and a mounting base. The camera is placed inside the adjusting ball, which is located in the mounting base, and the mounting base is attached to the window plane. The adjusting ball drives the camera to rotate within the mounting base to adjust the monitoring angle of the camera.

[0009] Preferably, the mounting base is fixed by combining an upper housing and a lower housing. The upper housing has a mounting post inside, and the lower housing has a mounting hole. The positions of the mounting post and the mounting hole correspond one-to-one, and are used to fix the upper housing and the lower housing.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the lower housing is provided with an adjusting ball hole, and the bottom of the adjusting ball is embedded in the adjusting ball hole.

[0011] Preferably, the lower housing is provided with a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a third sidewall and a fourth sidewall evenly arranged along the edge of the adjusting ball hole; the first sidewall is provided with a first limiting groove, the second sidewall is provided with a second limiting groove, the third sidewall is provided with a third limiting groove, and the fourth sidewall is provided with a limiting notch.

[0012] Preferably, the adjusting ball is fixedly composed of an upper ball and a lower ball, and the top of the lower ball has a first limiting protrusion, a second limiting protrusion and a third limiting protrusion evenly distributed at 90° intervals along the circumferential direction; the first limiting protrusion corresponds to the first limiting groove, the second limiting protrusion corresponds to the second limiting groove, and the third limiting protrusion corresponds to the third limiting groove.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the upper sphere is provided with an adjustment part, which is a flat surface with anti-slip texture; the bottom of the lower sphere is provided with a camera hole, through which the camera monitors the outside of the window in real time.

[0014] Preferably, the anti-slip texture consists of circular raised dots.

[0015] Preferably, a circular hole is provided in the center of the upper housing, and the adjustment part is disposed in the circular hole.

[0016] Preferably, a charging port is provided on one side of the upper housing, and the charging cable supplies power to the camera through the charging port.

[0017] Preferably, a heat dissipation hole is provided on one side of the upper housing. The beneficial effects of the present invention according to the above solution are as follows: Compared to existing technologies, this invention places the camera within an adjustable ball. Users manually manipulate the top adjustment part of the ball, causing it to slide within the limiting groove of the mounting base, thereby rotating the camera. This allows for real-time adjustment of the window-mounted camera's monitoring angle, effectively solving the problem of existing window-mounted cameras having fixed positions and inability to adjust the monitoring angle. It expands the monitoring field of view of the window camera, avoids blind monitoring, greatly improves the monitoring efficiency of the window camera device, and effectively ensures the safety of residents' homes. This invention has the advantages of simple structure, convenient installation and control, and high monitoring efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Please see Figures 1-3 The present invention provides an adjustable window-mounted camera device, including a camera 101, an adjusting ball 102, and a mounting base 103. The camera 101 is placed inside the adjusting ball 102, and the adjusting ball 102 is disposed in the mounting base 103. The mounting base 103 is attached to the window plane carrier. The adjusting ball 102 drives the camera 101 to rotate in the mounting base 103 to adjust the monitoring angle of the camera 101. In this embodiment, the angle adjustment range is ±20°.

[0022] like Figures 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting base 103 is fixed by a combination of an upper housing 103a and a lower housing 103b. The upper housing 103a has a mounting post (not shown in the figure), and the lower housing 103b has mounting holes 103b1. The positions of the mounting post and the mounting holes 103b1 correspond one-to-one, used to fix the upper housing 103a and the lower housing 103b together. The upper housing 103a has a circular hole 103a1 in the center, and a charging hole 103a2 on one side, through which the charging cable supplies power to the camera 101. Additionally, the upper housing 103a has a heat dissipation hole 103a3 on the other side for heat dissipation of the camera 101.

[0023] Please continue reading. Figures 1-5The bottom of the lower housing 103b is provided with an adjusting ball hole 103b2, and the bottom of the adjusting ball 102 is embedded in the adjusting ball hole 103b2. The lower housing 103b is evenly provided with a first side wall 103b3, a second side wall 103b4, a third side wall 103b5 and a fourth side wall 103b6 along the edge of the adjusting ball hole 103b2. The first side wall 103b3 is provided with a first limiting groove 103b301, the second side wall 103b4 is provided with a second limiting groove 103b401, the third side wall 103b5 is provided with a third limiting groove 103b501, and the fourth side wall 103b6 is provided with a limiting notch 103b601.

[0024] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the adjusting ball 102 is fixedly composed of an upper ball 102a and a lower ball 102b. The top of the lower ball 102b has a first limiting protrusion 102c, a second limiting protrusion 102d and a third limiting protrusion 102e evenly distributed at 90° intervals along the circumferential direction. The first limiting protrusion 102c corresponds to the first limiting groove 103b301, the second limiting protrusion 102d corresponds to the second limiting groove 103b401, and the third limiting protrusion 103e corresponds to the third limiting groove 103b501.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the top of the upper sphere 102a is provided with an adjustment part 102a1, which is located in a circular hole 103a1. The adjustment part 102a1 is a flat surface with anti-slip texture, which consists of circular raised dots. The bottom of the lower sphere 102b is provided with a camera hole 102b1, through which the camera 101 monitors the outside of the window in real time.

[0026] The adjustable window-mounted camera device of the present invention is used as follows: The user attaches the adjustable window-mounted camera to the window surface using the mounting base 103. The camera 101 monitors the outdoor public area in real time through the camera hole 102b1 of the adjusting ball 102. When the user needs to adjust the monitoring angle to observe a wider field of view, they simply press the adjusting part 102a1 of the adjusting ball 102 in a 360° direction. The first limiting protrusion 102c of the adjusting ball 102 slides in the first limiting groove 103b301, the second limiting protrusion 102d slides in the second limiting groove 103b401, and the third limiting protrusion 103e slides in the third limiting groove 103b501, causing the adjusting ball 102 to rotate within a ±20° range. This, in turn, causes the camera 101 to rotate within a ±20° range, thus expanding the monitoring range of the camera 101, avoiding blind spots, greatly improving security monitoring efficiency, and enhancing the user's sense of security.

[0027] Compared to existing technologies, this invention places the camera within an adjustable ball. Users manually manipulate the top adjustment part of the ball, causing it to slide within the limiting groove of the mounting base, thereby rotating the camera. This allows for real-time adjustment of the window-mounted camera's monitoring angle, effectively solving the problem of existing window-mounted cameras having fixed positions and inability to adjust the monitoring angle. It expands the monitoring field of view of the window camera, avoids blind monitoring, greatly improves the monitoring efficiency of the window camera device, and effectively ensures the safety of residents' homes. This invention has the advantages of simple structure, convenient installation and control, and high monitoring efficiency.
