Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of monitoring equipment, and in particular relates to a monitoring ball camera with a rainproof function. Background Art

[0002] Surveillance systems are one of the most widely used security systems. Handheld video communication devices are currently the most suitable construction site surveillance systems on the market, and video surveillance is now mainstream. From the earliest analog surveillance systems to the recent boom in digital surveillance, and finally to the current, still-emerging network video surveillance, tremendous changes have taken place. As IP technology continues to gain global acceptance, it's important to re-examine the history of video surveillance system development. From a technical perspective, the evolution of video surveillance systems can be divided into the first generation: analog video surveillance systems (CCTV), the second generation: digital video surveillance systems (DVRs) based on "PCs and multimedia cards," and the third generation: fully IP-based network video surveillance systems (IPVS).

[0003] Among them, surveillance dome cameras are widely used in the market because they are convenient for automatically adjusting the up, down, left and right monitoring positions. They are especially used to monitor the moving, loading and unloading, and tallying of goods in outdoor warehouses, ships, etc. However, surveillance dome cameras installed outdoors will be exposed to the sun and rain due to limited shelter conditions, which not only affects their service life, but also affects the clarity of monitoring records when rainwater flows onto the lens on rainy days. Therefore, a surveillance dome camera with rainproof function is set here. Utility Model Content
