[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The camera device 11 comprises a housing 100, a lens module 200 and a first sealing member 300. The lens module 200 is configured to capture images, and the lens module 200 is arranged in the housing 100. The first sealing member 300 is arranged between the housing 100 and the lens module 200 to block water from entering the housing 100 through a gap between the housing 100 and the lens module 200.
[0041] For the housing 100 described above, please refer to Figures 2-4 The housing 100 comprises a first housing 110 and a second housing 120. The first housing 110 is provided with a first groove 112, and the second housing 120 is provided with a second groove 121. The first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are connected, and the first groove 112 and the second groove 121 are communicated to form a receiving cavity together. The lens module 200 is arranged in the receiving cavity. The first housing 110 is provided with a through hole 111, and light outside the camera device 11 can enter the lens module 200 through the through hole 111, so that the lens module 200 in the housing 100 can capture images outside.
[0042] To realize the sealing of the connection between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, the camera device 11 of the embodiment of the utility model further comprises a second sealing member 400. The second sealing member 400 is arranged between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 to seal the gap between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120.
