[0032] As shown in the figure, Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the Ethernet extension line module of the embodiment adopts a network extender. The Ethernet extension line module is connected with the photoelectric transceiver module. The photoelectric transceiver module transmits the picture information to the Ethernet extension line module through network signals. The Ethernet extension line module can effectively extend the network transmission distance, and can break through the limitation of the traditional Ethernet transmission distance within 100 meters. The 100M network can be transmitted through a twisted pair cable for 500 meters, the 10M network can be transmitted for 1500 meters or even longer. This can transmit the underground monitoring picture to a farther distance in the underground. If the installation position of the camera is not suitable for the staff to debug, the staff can also debug the camera after the distance is extended.

[0033] As shown in the figure, Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the RS485 communication module of the embodiment is connected with the main control module. The RS485 communication module is powered by the output end of the second power conversion module. The RS485 communication module is used for RS485 communication with the host computer.
