[0091] In some embodiments, one of the fuselage housing 11 and the second lens housing 31 is provided with a second limiting rib, and the other is provided with a second limiting groove. When the second lens assembly 3 rotates horizontally, the second limiting rib moves along the second limiting groove. When the second limiting rib moves to the extreme position, the continuous rotation of the second lens assembly 3 is blocked to limit the horizontal rotation angle of the second lens assembly 3.

[0092] The second lens assembly 3 includes a second vertical motor 33 located in the second space to drive the second lens 32 to pitch up and down, so as to increase the monitoring view angle of the second lens assembly 3.

When used at night, the lens and the light are separated, and the second fill light is at a proper distance from the second lens 32, which can reduce the attraction of flying insects and the interference of flying insects on the image while realizing the illumination of the camera 100, and also indirectly reduce the probability of web formation.

[0102] The second lens assembly 3 includes a third window 351 and a fourth window 352 . The third window 351 is disposed correspondingly to the second lens 32 , and the fourth window 352 is disposed correspondingly to the second fill light.

[0103] In some embodiments, the second lens assembly 3 includes a wiper module 36 mounted on the second lens housing 31 , and its reciprocating motion is controlled by a built-in motor to clean the third window 351 .

[0104] Ginseng Figure 17 In some embodiments, the body 1 includes an antenna compartment 17 connected to the horizontal portion 110 and located above the horizontal portion 110, and the antenna compartment 17 is located between the two first lens assemblies 2. The antenna compartment 17 is located directly above the body 1, and can expand functional modules, such as GPS\4G\5G\WIFI and other functions, which are not limited in this application.

[0105] In some embodiments, the fuselage 1 includes a speaker compartment 18 connected to the horizontal portion 110 and located below the horizontal portion 110. The speaker compartment 18 is located between two second lens assemblies 3. The speaker compartment 18 is located directly below the fuselage 1, supporting the entire device and being compatible with the expansion of functional modules, such as functions of speakers, cable hiding, radar, etc. The present application does not limit this. The speaker realizes the intercom function.

[0106] In some embodiments, the camera 100 includes a function expansion module 6. The function expansion module 6 can be located below the speaker compartment 18, above the first lens assembly 2, or between two first lens assemblies 2.

[0107] In some embodiments, the function expansion module 6 includes at least one of a radio frequency communication component, a camera component, and a radar component. For example, radio frequency communication components such as 4G, 5G, and WIFI can be expanded, and the camera component can also be continuously added. In this way, the application range of the camera 100 can be expanded, and it has good late expansion functions.

[0108] Refer Figure 18 , the lower surface 210 of the first lens housing 21 in contact with the horizontal portion 110 protrudes from the horizontal portion 110, and the upper surface 310 of the second lens housing 31 in contact with the horizontal portion 110 also protrudes from the horizontal portion; when the first lens 22 and the second lens 32 face the same direction, the difference between the first distance L1 by which the upper surface 310 protrudes from the horizontal portion 110 and the second distance L2 by which the lower surface 210 protrudes from the horizontal portion 110 is greater than 0 mm and less than or equal to 5 mm. The purpose of this is to prevent rainwater from splashing back onto the window of the first lens housing 21 after falling on the second lens housing 31, thereby affecting the clarity of the vision of the first lens 22. As shown in the figure, the rainwater splashes onto the bottom position of the first lens housing 21 after falling onto the second lens housing 31 along the arrow direction and cannot reach the positions of the first window 271 and the second window 272, effectively avoiding the influence of rainwater on the viewing of the first lens 22.

[0109] In some embodiments, the first lens housing 21 includes a front wall. The first window 271 and the second window 272 are arranged on the front wall. The front wall is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom and is inclined. The top to the bottom of the front wall is inclined towards the direction close to the horizontal portion 110. The top of the first lens housing 21 plays a role in shielding rainwater, reducing the influence of rainwater blurring the first window 271 on the clarity of the first lens 22.

[0110] It should be noted that the technical solutions or technical features described in the above embodiments can be combined or supplemented with each other without conflict. The scope of protection of this application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the drawings; all modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of this application shall be included within the scope of protection of this application.
