Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of power transmission line monitoring technology, and in particular relates to a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) image monitoring device based on power transmission lines. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, monitoring of power transmission lines relies on manual inspections, fixed cameras, or drone inspections. For monitoring points with complex line environments, manual inspections are inefficient and risky, making it difficult to achieve 24 / 7 coverage. Fixed cameras have limited range and mostly use wired transmission, resulting in high cabling costs. Drone inspections are also too expensive and subject to weather conditions, making them impossible to implement, especially for monitoring "three-span" power transmission lines, which faces even greater limitations. Summary of the Invention

By designing a PTZ-type image monitoring system, a certain monitoring range can be adjusted to reduce blind spots. At the same time, through the design of a main camera and a night vision secondary camera, the two can be quickly switched via PTZ drive, thereby improving the monitoring effect. By using 4G communication, a monitoring network can be formed to achieve centralized monitoring and real-time monitoring.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
