[0036] See also Figures 1 to 2 As shown, there are multiple mounting slots 11, and the through-holes 14 of the multiple mounting slots 11 are arranged in different directions, so that the multiple cameras 3 installed therein can capture images from different directions. In this embodiment, two panoramic camera assemblies can be installed on one side of the vehicle, with the two panoramic camera assemblies arranged on opposite sides of the front door hinge to facilitate wiring through the gap at the door hinge. Each panoramic camera assembly is equipped with two cameras 3, and the corresponding housing 1 also has two mounting slots 11. The through-holes 14 of the two mounting slots 11 are arranged in different directions, so that the two cameras 3 can capture images in different directions, increasing the shooting angle, reducing blind spots, and improving safety.

[0037] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, a limit block 15 is provided within the wiring trough 12. The limit blocks 15 are formed by protruding from the inner groove walls on both sides of the wiring trough 12 into the groove. The side of the limit block 15 near the bottom wall of the wiring trough 12 contacts the transmission line 4 to limit the position of the transmission line 4. In this embodiment, there are multiple limit blocks 15. The multiple limit blocks 15 on one side of the wiring trough 12 and the multiple limit grooves on the other side of the wiring trough 12 are staggered along the length of the wiring trough 12. The limit blocks 15 limit and secure the transmission line 4 to prevent the transmission line 4 from becoming tangled and affecting installation.

[0038] See also Figures 4 and 5 As shown, a sealing groove 16 is provided on the edge of the housing 1, and a sealing strip 22 is provided on the edge of the bottom cover 2. The sealing strip 22 is accommodated and installed in the sealing groove 16 to prevent water mist from entering the housing 1.
