Detailed Implementation

[0037] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10As shown, it illustrates the specific structure of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is a PTZ camera capable of remote monitoring.

[0039] The first output shaft 131 of the first motor 130 drives the main unit 120 to rotate on the base 110; the second output shaft 151 of the second motor 150 drives the camera unit 140 to swing in the mounting cavity. This rotating structure is very simple, has high working efficiency, involves few parts, and helps to reduce assembly time and cost.

[0040] This application provides a remotely monitored PTZ camera, including a camera host 10 and a display screen 20, which are wirelessly connected. The camera host 10 includes a base 110, a host unit 120, and a camera unit 140. The camera host 10 and the display screen 20 can communicate via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or 4G / 5G networks. The display screen 20 can display the monitoring footage from the PTZ camera in real time. This type of PTZ camera can be used for baby monitoring, elderly monitoring, home security, etc. A first motor 130 drives the host unit 120 to rotate on the base 110, and a second motor 150 drives the camera unit 140 to rotate on the host unit 120, thus enabling multi-angle monitoring.

[0041] The main unit 120 includes a main housing 121, a first mounting base 129 disposed within the main housing 121, and a first motor 130 disposed within the first mounting base 129. The first output shaft 131 of the first motor 130 is mounted together with the base 110, and a rotational clearance is provided between the main housing 121 and the base 110. The main housing 121 is made of injection-molded plastic. The first mounting base 129 is fixed to the main housing 121 with screws. The first motor 130 is mounted on the first mounting base 129 with screws. When the first output shaft 131 of the first motor 130 is mounted together with the mounting post 115 of the base 110, the main housing 121 is supported by the first output shaft 131 with a certain rotational clearance. Therefore, when the first motor 130 rotates, the first output shaft 131 exerts a reaction force on the main housing 121, allowing the main housing 121 to rotate on the base 110. The first output shaft 131 of the first motor 130 and the base 110 can be assembled together with screws.

[0042] The camera unit 140 includes a camera housing 141, a second motor 150 disposed within the camera housing 141, a camera 152, and a first speaker 156.

When the second motor 150 is working, the second rotating shaft 149 provides a reaction force to the second motor 150, which in turn drives the camera housing 141 to swing up and down within the mounting cavity. It is evident that the first motor 130 directly drives the main unit 120 to rotate on the base 110, and the second motor 150 directly drives the camera unit 140 to rotate on the main unit 120. This rotational structure is simple, involves fewer parts, and has lower assembly time and cost. The camera 152 is used for shooting, and the first speaker 156 is used for sound output. As a preferred embodiment, an arc-shaped limiting ring 157 can be provided on the second output shaft 151. This arc-shaped limiting ring 157 cooperates with the arc-shaped limiting block inside the main housing 121 to control the up-and-down swing angle of the camera 152.
