[0002] A camera (CAMERA or WEBCAM), also known as a computer camera, computer eye, electronic eye, etc., is a video input device. It is like our human eyes and can record the real environment seen and store it in the form of data. Cameras have a wide range of applications in our daily lives, such as mobile phones, digital cameras, computers, cars, traffic monitoring, community and shopping mall monitoring, etc. A surveillance camera is a device for security monitoring that can capture video images in real time and transmit them to a monitoring center or user device for viewing and management.

[0003] The shell of a surveillance camera includes a lower shell and an upper shell located above the lower shell. A plurality of mounting grooves are opened at the top of the lower shell. A mounting seat is fixedly installed at the bottom of the upper shell. The mounting seat is adapted to the mounting grooves. A positioning hole is opened on one side of the mounting seat. A positioning rod is fixedly installed on the inner wall of one side of the mounting groove. The positioning rod and the positioning hole face upward. An inclined groove with one side being an opening is opened on the inner wall of the top of the positioning hole. And the positioning rod is adapted to the inclined groove. Two fixing seats are fixedly installed on one side of the lower shell. A connecting seat is fixedly installed on one side of the upper shell. The connecting seat is provided with a fixing mechanism. The fixing mechanism is connected to the connecting seat. A moving groove is opened at the bottom of the connecting seat. In the utility model, through the cooperation of the lower shell and the upper shell, it is convenient to assemble and disassemble the shell, so as to facilitate the disassembly, assembly and maintenance of the camera.

[0004] Surveillance cameras are usually installed at high places. When disassembling, assembling and maintaining, there is often no platform around to place items. The existing camera shell can remove the upper shell to maintain the internal electronic devices, but there is often no place to temporarily place the upper shell after it is removed. The upper shell needs to be held by the maintenance worker by hand after disassembly, resulting in inconvenient maintenance. And even if there is a platform to place the upper shell, the upper shell is easy to fall on the platform and pose a safety hazard. Summary of the Utility Model
