Furthermore, the design of a movable screen allows for a wider range of flexible screen usage scenarios. Specifically, both the daytime camera 3 and the nighttime camera utilize existing lenses. The daytime camera 3 can produce high-definition images in well-lit environments. The night vision camera 8 utilizes an existing Starlight series ultra-sensitive chip and can be used in conjunction with an infrared fill light 5 to produce clear images in dim or low-light environments. Users can freely switch between the corresponding lenses to capture images as needed. The two lenses work together to leverage their respective strengths to record and recreate the scene. The housing 24 houses a circuit board 18, which drives the daytime camera 3 and the nighttime camera. Existing driver circuits can be integrated into this circuit board 18. The screen is movable, capable of moving closer to or further from the housing 24, allowing for flexible adjustment to suit different usage scenarios. Images captured by both the daytime camera 3 and the nighttime camera are communicated via the circuit board 18, allowing the screen to display the images in real time. The technology for displaying images in real time is also known technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0026] See also Figures 1 to 4 The body 24 is provided with a connection terminal 10 for attaching to an external structure. In this embodiment, the design of the connection terminal 10 allows the camera to be attached to external structures, such as the handlebars of a bicycle or motorcycle, a helmet, or a snowboard. The connection terminal 10 can be formed into a removable module, allowing different modules to be replaced to adapt to different devices. For example, the modules can be mounted to the body 24 using a snap-on design, and each module can be designed with a different mounting port. This allows the camera to be adapted for installation on a variety of external devices.

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 5At least one of the day-use camera 3 and the night-use camera is mounted on a pan-tilt anti-shake module.

This provides a wider range of application scenarios for the camera. For example, with a lanyard, the camera can be hung around the neck for hands-free filming.

[0029] See also Figures 1 to 4 The screen is hinged to a side of the body 24. In this embodiment, the screen can be movable by flipping, making it easier for users to adjust the viewing angle. The screen can display content captured by the camera in real time, and can also be used to read preview content stored on a TF card 19. The hinged connection can be achieved by, for example, a hinge or a rotating shaft 17. Preferably, the screen is mounted on the body 24 via a lifting frame. The lifting frame moves the screen away from or toward the body 24. This lifting frame allows users to easily pull the screen closer to their eyes. For example, when the camera is mounted on a bicycle or motorcycle, users can pull the screen closer to their eyes to facilitate viewing while riding. The lifting frame has a wiring harness channel inside for easy wiring. The wiring harness is flexible and will not be damaged by the lifting of the lifting frame. Preferably, the screen is rotatably mounted on the body 24. This rotatable design allows the screen to be easily moved to the side of the camera, making it convenient for selfies. There are many different rotation methods, many of which are known in the prior art and will not be discussed in detail here.

[0030] See also Figures 1 to 4The housing 24 is provided with a cover 1, and at least one of the daytime camera 3 and the nighttime camera is provided with a cover plate 2. In this embodiment, the design of the cover 1 enhances the strength and aesthetics of the housing 24. The cover plate 2 protects the lens from scratches, water, and dust. The cover plate 2 is typically made of glass, providing protection without affecting the use of the lens.
