[0045] Reference Figure 1 、 2 A solar camera includes a front shell 100 and a rear shell 200. The front shell 100 and the rear shell 200 are tightly combined to form an inner cavity for accommodating a camera component 400; the top of the rear shell 200 has a receiving groove 210, and a solar panel 220 is embedded in the receiving groove 210. The solar panel 220 is electrically connected to the camera component 400, and the solar panel 220 can effectively collect and convert solar energy into electrical energy; the end of the rear shell 200 away from the front shell 100 is configured with a bracket assembly 500 to achieve multi-directional installation and stable support.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 、 3 , wherein the camera assembly 400 includes original components such as a mainboard 410, a battery 420 compartment, a battery 420, and a camera 430 arranged in the accommodating cavity 300.

[0047] Among them, when in use, the solar panel 220 can convert solar energy into electrical energy and store the energy through the battery 420, so as to achieve 365 days of uninterrupted monitoring and recording function, greatly improving the overall experience of the product.

[0048] Reference Figure 3 The solar camera of the present invention has a receiving groove 210 on the top of the rear shell 200, and the width of the receiving groove 210 does not exceed the width of the rear shell 200. In other words, by integrating the solar panel 220 with the solar camera, the solar camera has the function of solar energy replenishment without changing its volume. This makes it easy to carry and convenient for users to use in various scenarios. It also optimizes the appearance of the device, making it more beautiful and simple. In addition, the integrated design also reduces the need for external accessories, reduces the complexity of installation and use, and further enhances the user experience. In this way, users can more easily perform security monitoring without worrying about power supply issues, and achieve long-term and stable monitoring effects.

[0049] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1-3 A heat dissipation channel 230 is defined between the rear housing 200 and the receiving slot 210; this channel 230 extends toward the front housing 100. This channel 230 facilitates rapid heat dissipation, preventing overheating of the camera assembly 400 from affecting its performance and lifespan, thereby ensuring the device remains stable during extended operation. In other words, even in high-temperature environments, the heat dissipation channel 230 helps the camera maintain proper operation in a variety of climates, enhancing its adaptability and practicality.

[0050] Furthermore, the receiving groove 210 is integrally formed with the rear shell 200, and the rear shell 200 has arc structures 231 on both sides of the bottom corresponding to the receiving groove 210.

[0051] Reference Figure 3Connecting portions connected to the receiving slot 210 are provided on both sides of the rear housing 200. The curved surface structure 231, the connecting portions, and the bottom of the receiving slot 210 form a continuous heat dissipation channel 230. The receiving slot 210 and the rear housing 200 are integrally formed, reducing assembly complexity, improving manufacturing efficiency, and ensuring structural stability and durability. The design of the curved surface structure 231 and the connecting portions effectively promotes air flow, forming a continuous heat dissipation channel 230, which helps improve heat dissipation efficiency and maintain stable operation of the camera under high temperature conditions.

[0052] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 、 3 The camera assembly 400 includes a mainboard 410. A first through hole 240 is provided on the side of the rear shell 200 away from the solar panel 220, corresponding to the position of the mainboard 410; a first waterproof pad 600 is provided in the first through hole 240. It can be understood that the mainboard 410 is integrated with the memory card slot, charging interface, switch, reset and other components. The above components are all arranged in the first through hole 240. By providing the first waterproof pad 600, it is possible to effectively prevent moisture, dust and other external contaminants from entering the through hole, thereby protecting the safety and functionality of the internal electronic components. This waterproof structure not only improves the weather resistance of the device, ensuring that the camera can still work normally in various harsh environments, but also reduces the risk of failure caused by environmental factors. At the same time, users can easily access and use these interfaces, which improves the user experience.

[0053] Further, refer to Figure 2 The waterproof pad is provided with a second through hole 610, within which a second waterproof pad 700 is located. The second through hole 610 corresponds to the location of the charging port. As is understandable, the charging port is used more frequently. Therefore, when charging is needed, only the second waterproof pad 700 needs to be removed, without removing the first waterproof pad 600, which would expose the original components.

[0054] The first waterproof pad 600 and the second waterproof pad 700 are preferably waterproof silicone pads.

[0055] Reference Figure 2 、 3 In some embodiments, the rear housing 200 is provided with a connection hole 250; the bracket assembly 500 includes a connecting rod 510 and a fixing base 520; one end of the connecting rod 510 is connected to the rear housing 200 through the connection hole 250, and the other end is rotatably connected to the fixing base 520. It is understood that the solar camera is mounted on the fixing base 520 via the connecting rod 510, and the rotatable connection allows the orientation of the solar camera to be adjusted according to specific needs, thereby adapting to a variety of application scenarios and facilitating installation.

[0056] Furthermore, a spherical mounting portion 511 is provided on the connecting rod 510, and a mounting groove 521 that cooperates with the spherical mounting portion 511 is provided on the fixing seat 520, and a fastening sleeve 522 is provided on the outer circumference of the mounting groove 521; the mounting portion can be placed in the mounting groove 521 and can be rotated and adjusted relative to the mounting groove 521; the fastening sleeve 522 is adjusted so that the groove structure clamps the spherical mounting portion 511, thereby fixing the camera at a predetermined position.

[0057] Specifically, the connection hole 250 is a threaded hole, and one end of the connecting rod 510 is provided with an external thread that mates with the threaded hole. The other end of the connecting rod 510 is a spherical structure that can be adjusted in any direction and angle within the mounting slot 521. In other words, the solar camera can rotate freely, and the shooting angle of the camera can be flexibly adjusted in the horizontal, vertical, and tilted directions to meet the shooting needs of different viewing angles. When the adjustment is in place, the fastening sleeve 522 is used to tighten the mounting slot 521, so that the mounting slot 521 clamps the spherical structure. The mounting slot 521 provides sufficient friction and clamping force on the spherical structure, ensuring that the camera remains stable during normal use and does not easily shake or move.

[0058] In addition, the fixing seat 520 is preferably fixed by means of bolts, snaps, or other connection methods.

[0059] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 、 3 The front shell 100 is embedded in the accommodating cavity 300 of the rear shell 200, and a waterproof ring 800 is provided between the front shell 100 and the rear shell 200.

When installed, the waterproof silicone ring abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the rear shell 200, thereby achieving a waterproof sealing effect.

[0062] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1-3The camera assembly 400 also includes an antenna 900 module, which is used to receive signals. The antenna 900 is provided on both sides of the rear housing 200 and is rotatable relative to the rear housing 200. The provision of the antenna 900 module optimizes the angle of signal reception, improves communication quality, and ensures stable data transmission in various environments. Furthermore, the antenna 900 can be rotated relative to the rear housing 200, allowing it to be stored on either side of the camera's rear housing 200, making it more portable.

[0063] Furthermore, the camera assembly 400 includes a 4G module and a sound module; the 4G module is used to provide communication signals;

[0064] The sound module is used to output or input sound signals. By setting up a 4G module, the camera can transmit video and audio data in real time, realizing remote monitoring and control functions.
