The first camera 11 can serve as the main camera of the camera 10, and the second camera 12 can serve as the auxiliary camera of the camera 10. The first camera 11 and the second camera 12 can both rotate relative to the base, for example, the first camera 11 can rotate relative to the base around an axis perpendicular to the first camera 11, and the second camera 12 can rotate relative to the base around an axis perpendicular to the second camera 12. The first camera 11 and the second camera 12 can cooperate to obtain a larger camera shooting field of view and meet the camera shooting demand in a larger range. The number of the second cameras 12 is not limited and can be set according to the camera shooting field of view demand. In the drawings of the present application, the camera 10 is provided with two second cameras 12 as an example, and the two second cameras 12 are both arranged on the base and respectively located on the two sides opposite to the first camera 11 to cooperate with the first camera 11 to obtain a larger camera shooting field of view.

[0043] In combination with Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the first shell body 131 of the first shell 13 includes a first main shell 1311 and a first auxiliary shell 1312 connected to the first main shell 1311, and the end surface of the second shell body 141 of the second shell 14 is opposite to the end surface of the first shell body 131 and covers the first shell body 131 to form a containing cavity 1422 with the first shell body 131. The second shell body 141 includes a second main shell 1411 and a second auxiliary shell 1414 connected to the second main shell 1411, the second main shell 1411 covers the first main shell 1311, and the second auxiliary shell 1414 covers the first auxiliary shell 1312. The second main shell 1411 is provided with a wire hole 1412, the second auxiliary shell 1414 is provided with a wire slot 1415, the first camera 11 is arranged on the second main shell 1411 and located on the side of the second main shell 1411 away from the first main shell 1311, and the second camera 12 is arranged on the second auxiliary shell 1414 and located on the side of the second auxiliary shell 1414 away from the first auxiliary shell 1312. At least part of the wires of the second camera 12 are connected with the first camera 11 in sequence through the wire slot 1415, the containing cavity 1422, and the wire hole 1412, for example, electrically connected with the circuit board in the first camera 11, to realize the control and data transmission of the second camera 12.

[0044] Understandably, when there are two second cameras 12, there are two first sub-shells 1312, which can be connected to opposite sides of the first main shell 1311. Similarly, there are two second sub-shells 1414, which are connected to opposite sides of the second main shell 1411. The two second sub-shells 1414 are correspondingly mounted on top of each other, and the two second cameras 12 are correspondingly mounted on the two second sub-shells 1414.

[0045] Further, refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the first housing 13 further includes a first waterproof protrusion 1313 protruding from the end face of the first housing body 131, and the second housing 14 includes a second waterproof protrusion 1417 protruding from the end face of the second housing body 141. One of the first waterproof protrusion 1313 and the second waterproof protrusion 1417 is located inside the other, that is, at least a portion of the first waterproof protrusion 1313 and the second waterproof protrusion 1417 forms a double-layer structure.

[0046] The aforementioned camera device 10, with its first camera 11 and second camera 12 working together, can expand the field of view of the camera device 10 to meet the needs of large-area monitoring. At least part of the wiring of the second camera passes through a wire groove, a receiving cavity, and a wire hole before connecting to the first camera. That is, the second camera's wiring runs through the interior of the first and second housings, which shield and protect the wiring. Furthermore, one of the first waterproof protrusion 1313 and the second waterproof protrusion 1417 is located inside the other. When the first housing 13 and the second housing 14 are connected, external liquid must bypass the first waterproof protrusion 1313 and the second waterproof protrusion 1417 to enter the receiving cavity 1422. The first waterproof protrusion 1313 and the second waterproof protrusion 1417 can extend the path of external liquid from the first housing 13 and the second housing 14 into the receiving cavity 1422, and the path bend formed by the first waterproof protrusion 1313 and the second waterproof protrusion 1417 further extends the path of external liquid from the first housing 13 and the second housing 14 into the receiving cavity 1422. The liquid acts as a barrier, which helps to improve the waterproof performance between the first housing 13 and the second housing 14, reduces the risk of external liquid flowing into the accommodating cavity 1422 from between the first housing 13 and the second housing 14, reduces the risk of the wiring passing through the accommodating cavity 1422 through the wire groove 1415 and the wire hole 1412 being damaged by liquid, and reduces the risk of liquid entering the accommodating cavity 1422 and flowing into the first camera 11 and the second camera 12 through the wire groove 1415 or the wire hole 1412, thereby effectively improving the waterproof sealing performance of the camera device 10.

[0047] refer to Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the second waterproof protrusion 1417 is located at the inner side of the first waterproof protrusion 1313, and the second shell 14 further comprises a third waterproof protrusion 1419 protruding from the end surface of the second shell body 141 and located at the outer side of the second waterproof protrusion 1417. The second waterproof protrusion 1417 and the third waterproof protrusion 1419 are arranged in a spaced manner and form a waterproof groove 1421 with the second shell body 141, and at least part of the first waterproof protrusion 1313 is embedded in the waterproof groove 1421. Thus, within the height range of the first waterproof protrusion 1313, the third waterproof protrusion 1419, the first waterproof protrusion 1313 and the second waterproof protrusion 1417 are arranged in turn from the outside to the inside and form a three-layer structure, which is conducive to further prolonging the path of liquid entering the accommodation cavity 1422, thereby further improving the waterproof sealing performance of the camera 10.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first waterproof protrusion 1313 is embedded in the waterproof groove 1421, and the end surface of the third waterproof protrusion 1419 abuts against the end surface of the first shell body 131, that is, the height of the first waterproof protrusion 1313 is equal to the height of the third waterproof protrusion 1419. Thus, the end surface of the third waterproof protrusion 1419 can abut and cooperate with the end surface of the first shell body 131, thereby improving the waterproof sealing performance between the first shell 13 and the second shell 14.

[0049] In some embodiments, the height of the second waterproof protrusion 1417 is greater than the height of the first waterproof protrusion 1313 and the third waterproof protrusion 1419, and the second waterproof protrusion 1417 abuts against the inner side surface of the first waterproof protrusion 1313 and extends along the inner side surface of the first waterproof protrusion 1313 to the inner side surface of the first shell body 131. The outer side surface of the second waterproof protrusion 1417 also abuts against the inner side surface of the first shell body 131. Thus, the second waterproof protrusion 1417 can further prolong the path length of liquid flowing into the accommodation cavity 1422, and abutting cooperation with the inner side surface of the first shell body 131 can further improve the sealing performance between the first shell 13 and the second shell 14.

[0050] It should be noted that the first shell body 131 can be a hollow structure with one side open, and the first waterproof protrusion 1313 can be an annular structure surrounding the end surface of the first shell body 131 and connected end to end. The second shell body 141 can be a hollow structure with one side open, and the second waterproof protrusion 1417 and the third waterproof protrusion 1419 can be annular structures surrounding the end surface of the second shell body 141 and connected end to end.

The second shell 14 further comprises a waterproof cover 1424 connected to the second shell body 141 and arranged around the stud 1423 together with the second shell body 141, and the second waterproof protrusion 1417 is provided with a notch 1418 which communicates the space formed by the waterproof cover 1424 and the second shell body 141. The first shell 13 comprises a stud 1423 arranged on the first shell body 131 and located in the accommodation cavity 1422, and the stud 1423 arranged on the first shell 13 is opposite to the stud 1423 arranged on the second shell 14, and part of the stud 1423 arranged on the first shell 13 is embedded in the waterproof cover 1424. In this way, the liquid entering the first shell 13 and the second shell 14 from the outside of the base through the stud 1423 can be blocked by the waterproof cover 1424 and is not easy to flow into the accommodation cavity 1422, and at the same time can be discharged from the base through the notch 1418 provided by the second waterproof protrusion 1417, which is beneficial to further improve the waterproof sealing performance of the camera device 10. The number of studs 1423 is not limited and can be arranged according to the fixing requirements of the first shell 13 and the second shell 14. In the drawings of the present application, six studs 1423 are arranged on the first shell 13 and the second shell 14, and the six studs 1423 on the first shell 13 are arranged opposite to the six studs 1423 on the second shell 14 one by one, and the second shell 14 is provided with six waterproof covers 1424 which are arranged around the six studs 1423 one by one.

[0052] Reference Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the second main shell 1411 is provided with a plurality of drainage holes 1413 which are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the hole 1412, and the drainage hole 1413 is beneficial to drain the liquid flowing into the accommodation cavity 1422 and reduce the risk of liquid damaging the components in the accommodation cavity 1422. The number of drainage holes 1413 is not limited and can be arranged according to the drainage requirements and structural layout of the camera device 10. In the drawings of the present application, the second main shell 1411 is provided with four drainage holes 1413, and the four drainage holes 1413 are respectively arranged at the four corners of the second main shell 1411.

[0053] In combination Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 12As shown, in some embodiments, the first main shell 1311 and the first auxiliary shell 1312 are integrated structures, the first shell 13 can be made of plastic material by injection molding process, the second main shell 1411 and the second auxiliary shell 1414 are integrated structures, the second shell 14 can be made of plastic material by injection molding process. The space in the first main shell 1311 and the first auxiliary shell 1312 is connected through the opening, and the space in the second main shell 1411 and the second auxiliary shell 1414 is connected through the opening. That is, the camera device 10 integrates the base for mounting the first camera 11 and the second camera 12 into an integrated structure, which improves the structural reliability of the camera device 10, simplifies the assembly process of the camera device 10, reduces the assembly cost, and is also conducive to further improving the waterproof sealing performance of the camera device 10.

[0054] In combination Figure 8 And Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the second shell 14 further comprises a first wire clamping structure 143 provided on the second auxiliary shell 1414 and located in the accommodation cavity 1422.

The first wire clamping structure 143 can be a protruding structure protruding from the second auxiliary shell 1414 on one side of the accommodation cavity 1422, and the first wire clamping structure 143 and the second auxiliary shell 1414 form an opening structure, and the wire passing through the first wire clamping structure 143 passes through the opening structure formed by the first wire clamping structure 143 and the second auxiliary shell 1414. Therefore, the first wire clamping structure 143 can provide a constraint effect on the wire, so that the wiring of the camera device 10 is more standardized, and the risk of mutual interference between the wires, or damage of the wires due to bending is reduced.

[0055] Please also refer to Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the camera 10 further comprises a first connecting structure 15 rotatably arranged on the second main shell 1411, and the first camera 11 is arranged on the first connecting structure 15, and when the first connecting structure 15 rotates relative to the second main shell 1411, the first camera 11 can be driven to rotate relative to the second main shell 1411. The camera 10 further comprises a second wire clamping structure 146 arranged on a side of the first connecting structure 15 facing the second main shell 1411, and the second wire clamping structure 146 can be a protrusion arranged on the side of the connecting structure facing the second main shell 1411, and an opening structure for the wire to pass through is formed between the second wire clamping structure 146 and the connecting structure. At least part of the wire extending through the wire hole 1412 passes through the second wire clamping structure 146, and arranging the second wire clamping structure 146 is also conducive to providing a restraining effect on the wire, so that the wiring is more standardized, and the risk of damage to the wire due to rotation of the first connecting structure 15 is reduced.
