[0030] See also Figures 1 to 6 The utility model discloses a surveillance camera covering multiple angles, including an equipment compartment 10, a main camera 20, and a driving assembly; the driving assembly is installed in the equipment compartment 10, the main camera 20 is rotatably connected to the equipment compartment 10, and the driving assembly is connected to the main camera 20 to drive the main camera 20 to rotate; it also includes a first sub-camera 30, a second sub-camera 40, and a pair of rotating brackets 50, the rotating brackets 50 are rotatably fixed on the symmetrical sides of the main camera 20 or the equipment compartment 10, and the first sub-camera 30 and the second sub-camera 40 are respectively installed on the rotating brackets 50 on both sides. When the rotating brackets 50 are fixed on both sides of the main camera 20, the sub-cameras and the main camera 20 are arranged in a row. Since the sub-cameras and the main camera 20 are fixed as one body, when the driving assembly drives the main camera 20 to rotate, the three cameras rotate around the central axis of the main camera 20 at the same time to change the monitored scene. The first sub-camera 30 and the second sub-camera 40 are respectively fixed on independent rotating brackets 50. The user can manually adjust the first sub-camera 30 and the second sub-camera 40 to a suitable orientation in the horizontal direction so that the three cameras can cover different angles respectively, so that the camera installed in a single position can monitor multiple directions at the same time. When the rotating bracket 50 is fixed on the equipment compartment 10 (not shown in the drawings), the orientation of the sub-camera can also be manually adjusted to install more monitoring equipment in a single installation position and monitor scenes at a larger angle at the same time.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in this embodiment, preferably, the rotating bracket 50 includes a connecting plate 51, a vertical rotating member 52 and a horizontal rotating member 53; the vertical rotating member 52 is fixed to the outside of the main camera 20, the connecting plate 51 is horizontally arranged and connected to the vertical rotating member 52, the horizontal rotating member 53 is arranged on the connecting plate 51, and the first auxiliary camera 30 and the second auxiliary camera 40 are installed on the horizontal rotating member 53. When it is necessary to adjust the up and down direction of the auxiliary camera, the connecting plate 51 is adjusted by the vertical rotating member 52 so that the surface of the connecting plate 51 is no longer parallel to the ground; when it is necessary to adjust the left and right direction of the auxiliary camera, the left and right direction of the auxiliary camera is directly adjusted by the horizontal rotating member 53 at the bottom. Through the cooperation of the vertical rotating member 52 and the horizontal rotating member 53, the auxiliary camera can be oriented in any direction, and multiple cameras cooperate with each other to achieve multi-angle coverage of the monitoring scene.

[0032] In another optional embodiment, the rotating bracket 50 only includes a connecting plate 51 and a horizontal rotating member 53; the connecting plate 51 is horizontally arranged and fixed to the outside of the main camera 20, the horizontal rotating member 53 is arranged on the connecting plate 51, and the first auxiliary camera 30 or the second auxiliary camera 40 is installed on the horizontal rotating member 53. It can be understood that the orientation of the auxiliary camera can be adjusted in the horizontal direction by the horizontal rotating member 53. In another optional embodiment, the rotating bracket 50 only includes a connecting plate 51 and a vertical rotating member 52; the vertical rotating member 52 is fixed to the outside of the main camera 20, the connecting plate 51 is horizontally arranged and connected to the vertical rotating member 52, and the first auxiliary camera 30 or the second auxiliary camera 40 is installed at one end of the connecting plate 51 away from the main camera 20. The orientation of the auxiliary camera can be adjusted in the vertical direction by the vertical rotating member 52.

[0033] like Figures 6 to 8As shown, the vertical rotating member 52 is configured as a first hollow column 521, and the outer edge of the end of the first hollow column 521 is provided with a first hook 522 and a first groove 523 arranged at intervals. The first hollow column 521 is inserted into the mounting hole 22 outside the main camera 20, and the first hook 522 abuts against the inner wall of the mounting hole 22. It can be understood that the horizontal rotating member 53 and the vertical rotating member 52 adopt the same structure. The horizontal rotating member 53 is configured as a second hollow column 531, and the outer edge of the top end of the second hollow column 531 is provided with a second hook 532 and a second groove 533 arranged at intervals. The second hollow column 531 is inserted into the mounting hole 22 at the bottom of the first auxiliary camera 30 or the second auxiliary camera 40, and the second hook 532 abuts against the side wall of the mounting hole 22. The diameter of the hollow column is slightly larger than the corresponding diameter of the mounting hole 22. During installation, the hollow column is difficult to insert into the mounting hole 22 because the hook protrudes outward. Therefore, a groove is provided on the edge of the hollow column so that the side wall of the hollow column is deformed inward when squeezed, which facilitates the insertion of the hollow column into the mounting hole 22 and fixes it to the inner side of the mounting hole 22 by the hook.

[0034] It can be understood that when the hollow column is inserted into the mounting hole 22 and squeezed, the force exerted by the hole wall on the hollow column enables the hollow column to rotate under the action of external force and lock when stopped, so that the user can manually adjust the angle of the secondary camera through the vertical rotating member 52 and the horizontal rotating member 53.

[0035] In one embodiment, the driving assembly includes a motor 60 and a rotating shaft 61, wherein the rotating shaft 61 is vertically arranged, one end of which is connected to the output shaft of the motor 60, and the other end is fixed to the upper side of the central axis of the main camera 20. Specifically, the axis of the rotating shaft 61 is colinear with the central axis of the main camera 20, ensuring that the main camera 20 can rotate under the drive of the motor 60 to adjust the monitoring range of the main camera 20 and the auxiliary camera.

[0036] In one embodiment, the main camera 20 includes a camera body and at least two fixing plates 21 . The fixing plates 21 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the camera body, and the rotating brackets 50 are respectively fixed on the fixing plates 21 .

[0037] In one embodiment, the equipment compartment 10 is further provided with a third secondary camera 70. The third secondary camera 70 is arranged outside the equipment compartment 10, and its orientation is different from that of the main camera 20 to provide more monitoring viewing angles.

[0038] In one embodiment, it also includes a communication antenna, which is arranged on the equipment compartment 10. The communication antenna is connected to a control board arranged in the equipment compartment 10 to receive a control signal of a driving component. The function of the communication antenna is also to send the camera image to the server in real time.

[0039] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are:

[0040] (1) By arranging the first sub-camera and the second sub-camera on both sides of the main camera, multiple cameras can be configured at a single monitoring installation location, so as to monitor a wider range of scenes in real time. By manually rotating the bracket and the sub-camera to change the direction of the sub-camera, the coverage area of ​​the main camera and the sub-camera can be monitored in real time at the same time.

[0041] (2) The three cameras are all set on a fixed frame, so that when the fixed frame rotates horizontally, the three cameras can swing synchronously. The auxiliary camera and the main camera are fixed on the same vertical rotating component so that the three cameras can also swing up and down, so that the swing range of the camera is between.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
