Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a doll, specifically to an owl monitor. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the vast majority of surveillance equipment in China requires a round or square shape to achieve rotating angle monitoring. A drawback of traditional surveillance equipment is that their appearance is largely similar, leading to consumer fatigue.

[0003] As a video input device, webcams have historically been widely used in video conferencing, telemedicine, and real-time monitoring. In recent years, with the development of internet technology, the continuous improvement of network speeds, and the maturity of photosensitive imaging technology and its widespread application in webcam manufacturing, ordinary people can now communicate with each other online using webcams, both visually and aurally. Furthermore, webcams can be used for various popular digital imaging and audio-visual processing applications.

[0004] To achieve a wider monitoring range, existing surveillance equipment incorporates head rotation and head swing mechanisms. However, the head swing mechanism requires fixing the drive shaft of the head power source to the body support and the head power source housing to the head housing, using the reaction force of the drive shaft to drive the head swing. This drive structure, however, can easily lead to a reduced lifespan of the head power source.

[0005] In view of this, it is necessary to improve traditional monitoring equipment. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide an owl monitor. The purpose of this monitor is to design the head as two parts, with the spherical part capable of rotation, eliminating the need for a structure that allows the entire head to swing up and down, thus improving the monitor's lifespan.

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention is implemented through the following solution: The present invention provides an owl monitor, including a base and a head rotatably connected to the base. The head has a head shell assembly and a rotatable spherical part mounted on the opening end of the head shell assembly. The spherical part has a head camera assembly.

[0008] The owl monitor also includes:

[0009] The bracket assembly is connected to the base;

[0010] A first power mechanism installed inside the base and driving the head to rotate horizontally.
