[0004] Existing cameras want to capture as wide an image area as possible. Therefore, existing cameras have large horizontal and vertical rotation angles, with the horizontal rotation angle reaching 360° and the vertical rotation angle reaching 114°. Due to the large horizontal and vertical rotation angles of existing cameras, the cables inside the camera are stretched significantly, causing friction between the cables and the housing, which in turn causes cable wear and reduces the service life of the camera.

[0031] See also Figures 1 to 4 The utility model provides a cable arrangement structure for an intelligent camera, comprising a base shell 1, a ball head outer shell 2 and a ball head inner shell 3.

[0032] A horizontal rotation mechanism 4 is bolted to the base housing 1. The horizontal rotation mechanism 4 drives the ball head housing 2 to rotate horizontally and connect to the base housing 1. In this embodiment, the horizontal rotation mechanism 4 is a motor. A rotating frame 14 is fixed to the bottom of the ball head housing 2, and the rotating frame 14 is rotatably connected to the base housing 1.

In this embodiment, the body of the vertical rotation mechanism 8 is fixed to the inner shell of the sphere, thereby shortening the length of the third cable 10.

[0035] The first cable 6 and the second cable 7 are insulated and fixed together to form a combined cable 13. In this embodiment, the first cable 6 and the second cable 7 can be wrapped together by a rubber outer cover. The combined cable 13 located in the base shell 1 and electrically connected to the horizontal rotation mechanism 4 and the first circuit board 5 respectively passes through the first avoidance hole 11 into the ball head housing 2, is then laid along the inner wall of the ball head housing 2 and passes through the second avoidance hole 12 into the ball head inner shell 3 and is electrically connected to the second circuit board 9. The line arrangement is organized to make the line arrangement simpler and more reasonable.
