DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] Clearly and completely describe the technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model, apparently, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the utility model, and is not all the embodiment. Based on the embodiment in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without making creative labor belong to the range of protection of the utility model.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-6 In the embodiments of the utility model, a wide-view angle monitoring camera comprises a main camera module 1, a secondary camera module 2 and a shell 3, the shell 3 comprises a main mounting portion 4 in the middle and a secondary mounting portion 5 extending away from the direction of the main mounting portion 4, the main camera module 1 is installed on the main mounting portion 4, and the secondary camera module 2 is installed on the secondary mounting portion 5.

[0033] In the technical scheme of the utility model, in view of the problem that the monitoring range of the traditional single-view angle camera is limited and dead angles are prone to appear in large open areas, a mode that the main camera module 1 and the secondary camera module 2 work cooperatively is designed; the main camera module 1 is responsible for acquiring image information of a main monitoring area, and the secondary camera module 2 can capture the area outside the view angle of the main camera module 1 by being installed on the secondary mounting portion 5 extending away from the direction of the main mounting portion 4, so that the overall monitoring view angle is widened and the range that the original single camera cannot reach is effectively covered.

[0034] In order to avoid high cost and data processing pressure caused by increasing the number of cameras to expand the monitoring range, the design utilizes the combination of the main camera module 1 and the secondary camera module 2 to realize wide-area monitoring without significantly increasing the number of devices; the secondary mounting portion 5 provides a reasonable installation position 14 for the secondary camera module 2, cooperates with the main camera module 1 and utilizes device resources in a more efficient way, reduces the dependence on additional cameras and reduces the cost of device procurement, installation and maintenance.

[0035] In view of the problem that image distortion is caused by a special lens and the flexibility is insufficient by simply changing the installation mode, the design realizes wide-area monitoring through the reasonable layout of the main camera module 1 and the secondary camera module 2 on the physical structure; the unique structure design of the main mounting portion 4 and the secondary mounting portion 5 enables the main camera module 1 and the secondary camera module 2 to work at their respective appropriate positions without relying on a special lens to expand the view angle, thereby avoiding the problem of image distortion; and compared with the change of the installation mode, this structure design is not limited by too many specific installation environments, has wider applicability and higher flexibility.

[0036] In the embodiments of the utility model, the secondary mounting portion 5 is arranged at least on one side of the main mounting portion 4, and the number of the secondary camera modules 2 matches the number of the secondary mounting portions 5.

[0037] Different monitoring scenarios have different requirements for wide-angle view, some areas may only need to expand the view on one side, while some larger or irregularly shaped areas may need to expand the view in multiple directions. By setting the secondary mounting part 5 at least on one side of the main mounting part 4, the installation position and number of the secondary camera module 2 can be flexibly determined according to the characteristics and needs of the actual monitoring scene; for example, in a narrow corridor scene, only one secondary mounting part 5 and the corresponding secondary camera module 2 can be set on one side of the main mounting part 4 to meet the monitoring coverage of both ends of the corridor; while in a complex scene like a cross intersection, secondary mounting parts 5 and secondary camera modules 2 can be set in four directions of the main mounting part 4 to achieve omnidirectional wide-area monitoring; this design fully considers the diversity of actual application scenarios and meets the monitoring needs of different scenes through adjustable structure.

[0038] Matching the number of secondary camera modules 2 with the number of secondary mounting parts 5 can accurately configure monitoring resources; each secondary mounting part 5 corresponds to a secondary camera module 2, avoiding waste or insufficient resources, which ensures that the monitoring view requirement is met without over-configuring equipment, thereby optimizing equipment cost and system operation efficiency on the basis of ensuring monitoring effect.

[0039] In the embodiment of the utility model, the secondary mounting part 5 and the main mounting part 4 are integrally formed, and the side of the main mounting part 4 extends horizontally outward.

[0041] The integrally formed and horizontally outward extending structure design eliminates the need for additional assembly operation of the secondary mounting part 5 and the main mounting part 4 during installation, and the installer only needs to install the entire camera in the appropriate position, which greatly simplifies the installation steps, reduces the risk of installation failure caused by improper assembly of parts during installation, improves the installation efficiency, and is especially suitable for scenes with large-scale installation of monitoring equipment;

[0042] The sub mounting portion 5 horizontally extends outward from the main mounting portion 4 side, can accurately arrange the sub camera module 2 at a position with the main camera module 1 at a proper angle, effectively widen the monitoring visual angle; the horizontally outward extending manner can maximize the use of space, avoid the visual angle overlap or blind area expansion problem caused by unreasonable angle, thereby realizing efficient coverage of the area outside the visual angle of the main camera module 1, and improving the actual effect of wide area monitoring.
