DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0022] The following will describe in detail the embodiments of the technical solutions of the present invention with reference to the drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, so they are only examples and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] It should be noted that unless otherwise specified, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the present application should have the ordinary meanings understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0024] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the present invention.

[0025] In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "a plurality" is more than two unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0026] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "mounted", "connected", "coupled", "fixed", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0027] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the first feature being "on" or "under" the second feature may be that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are indirectly in contact through an intermediate medium. Moreover, the first feature being "above", "over" and "on top of" the second feature may be that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or merely indicates that the first feature has a higher horizontal height than the second feature. The first feature being "under", "beneath" and "underneath" the second feature may be that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or merely indicates that the first feature has a lower horizontal height than the second feature.

[0028] Such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, a camera with a direction monitoring function provided in this embodiment includes a camera body 1 and a direction monitoring system 2 disposed within the camera body 1. The camera body 1 can be an existing digital camera or an analog camera, and no specific limitation is imposed in this embodiment. Moreover, this camera can be installed in any area that requires monitoring. For example, it can be installed on a display to monitor whether there is anyone secretly taking pictures of the screen display content in front of the screen; or, it can be installed in a room to monitor the room area at a preset angle; or, it can be installed on a table to monitor whether there is anyone secretly taking pictures of documents, etc., in different usage scenarios.

[0029] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown in the figure, the direction monitoring system 2 includes a direction sensing module, an alarm module, and a communication module. The direction sensing module, the alarm module, and the communication module can be integrated on a PCB board, and the PCB board is encapsulated within the camera body, which can reduce the modification to the camera body.

[0030] In this embodiment, the direction sensing module is used to monitor the shooting direction of the camera body in real time and generate a corresponding direction signal. The direction sensing module can adopt a gyroscope, an accelerometer, a magnetometer, or an inertial measurement unit.

[0031] The alarm module is used to generate an alarm message when the direction signal changes. When the camera is moved or its shooting direction is adjusted, the direction signal generated by the direction sensing module will change, and at this time, the alarm module is triggered to generate an alarm message. The alarm module can adopt a single-chip microcomputer.

[0032] The communication module is used to transmit the alarm message to a specified receiving terminal. The management personnel hold this receiving terminal and, after receiving the alarm message through the receiving terminal, take corresponding measures in a timely manner. The receiving terminal can be a mobile intelligent terminal device such as a smart phone, a wearable device, a tablet computer, or a palm computer, or a fixed terminal device such as a monitoring host or a host computer set in a monitoring room.

[0033] In this embodiment, the communication module can adopt a wired communication module. For example, an Ethernet communication module, a CAN bus communication module, or an RS485 communication module; the communication module can also adopt a wireless communication module, such as a Bluetooth module, a 4G module, a 5G module, a WiFi module, a lora module, a ZigBee module, an NB-IoT communication module, or a GPRS communication module.

[0034] In summary, the camera with a direction monitoring function provided by the present utility model can timely send an alarm message to the receiving terminal when the camera is moved or its shooting direction is changed, improving the security and reliability of the monitoring system, facilitating the timely discovery of illegal operations, ensuring the security of the monitored area, and can be widely applied to various places requiring security monitoring, having broad application prospects and market value.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the technical features of the technical solution of this application can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of concise description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as within the scope recorded in this application.
