Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera technology, and more specifically, to an easily adjustable camera. Background Technology

[0002] A webcam, also known as a computer camera, computer eye, or electronic eye, is a video input device widely used in video conferencing, telemedicine, and real-time monitoring. Ordinary people can also use webcams to have video and audio conversations and communication with each other over the network. In addition, people can use them for various popular digital imaging and audio-visual processing. Furthermore, with the increasing awareness of security, many people install webcams in front of their homes, factories, and other places so that they can observe the situation on the scene through computers or mobile phones to prevent theft.

[0003] However, most existing cameras are fixed to the wall with bolts. This installation method does not allow for flexible adjustment of the monitoring angle after the camera is installed, resulting in a small monitoring range.

[0004] Furthermore, with the above connection method, if the camera needs to be disassembled and repaired, it is easy to leave a hole on the outer surface of the wall. When it is installed again through this hole, the installation will not be stable because the hole has been enlarged, affecting normal use. Utility Model Content
