Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cameras, in particular to an outdoor rainproof camera. Background Art
[0002] A camera is a device used to capture, record and transmit images or videos. It is usually composed of a lens, an image sensor and an image processor. Cameras are widely used in monitoring systems, video conferencing, video chatting, photography and videography. When installing cameras in outdoor environments, it is necessary to consider the adverse weather conditions that may be encountered, especially rain, which will affect its normal operation. Therefore, an outdoor rainproof camera is needed.
[0003] Existing outdoor cameras have certain limitations during use. Since outdoor installation will be affected by the outdoor environment, when there is continuous rainy weather, rain will hit the camera surface for a long time, which can easily cause the camera casing to loosen, allowing rain to penetrate into the camera through the gap in the camera casing, causing damage to its internal machinery and reducing the service life of the camera. Moreover, in heavy rainy weather, the temperature is low, and fog is easily formed on the surface of the lens, which will cause the camera clarity to seriously decrease, affecting the camera's monitoring effect.
