[0017] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments. Example

[0018] Reference Figure 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a rainproof outdoor surveillance camera, including: The support assembly 100 includes a base 101, a connecting block 102 fixedly connected to the end of the base 101, an extension rod 103 fixedly connected to the end of the connecting block 102, a crossbeam 104 inserted into the end of the extension rod 103, and a connecting seat 105 fixedly connected to the side wall of the crossbeam 104. A connecting block 102 is installed at the connection between the extension rod 103 and the end of the crossbeam 104, and a connecting block 102 is installed at the connection between the side wall of the crossbeam 104 and the end of the connecting seat 105. The monitoring component 200 includes a motor 201 fixedly connected to the end of the connector 105, a bracket 202 fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the motor 201, a mounting base 203 rotatably mounted on the end of the bracket 202, a main camera body 204 encapsulated inside the mounting base 203, a connector 205 inserted into the side wall of the mounting base 203, and a secondary camera body 206 sealed inside the connector 205. The secondary camera body 206 is used in conjunction with the main camera body 204.

[0019] The base 101 serves as the connection carrier between the device and the mounting surface (such as a wall or pole), with a connector at its end for connecting to the connecting block 102. The extension rod 103 is an adjustable-length support, and the crossbeam 104 serves as the mounting carrier for the monitoring component 200, also facilitating adjustment of the rotation direction on the extension rod 103 to adapt to monitoring needs in different locations. The base 101 is fixed to the outdoor mounting surface (such as a wall) using expansion bolts, and the extension rod 103 is initially fixed using the connecting block 102. The crossbeam 104 is then sequentially fixed to the extension rod 103, and the connecting seat 105 is fixed to the crossbeam 104 using the connecting block 102, providing a reliable mounting foundation for the monitoring component 200. The motor 201 is fixed to the end of the connector 105, and its output shaft is fixedly connected to the center of the bracket 202. It can drive the bracket 202 to rotate 360° horizontally around the motor axis, thereby driving the mounting base 203 and the camera to achieve full coverage of the horizontal viewing angle. The bracket 202 has an arc-shaped structure, and its two ends are rotatably connected to the mounting base 203 through the rotating shaft. It is also possible to add rotatable and driveable components inside the bracket 202 according to actual needs, so that the bracket 202 can adjust itself. The mounting base 203 can achieve vertical angle adjustment (such as shooting upwards or downwards) around the rotating shaft of the bracket 202. Combined with the horizontal rotation of the motor 201, it can achieve three-dimensional coverage of the monitoring angle. Mounting base 203 is a sealed housing structure. The main camera body 204 is completely encapsulated inside the mounting base 203. A waterproof sealing ring is used to seal between the housing and the camera to prevent rainwater from seeping in through the gaps in the mounting base and to protect the core components of the main camera. Connector 205 is a tubular sealed structure. One end is inserted into the side wall of mounting base 203 and fixed with sealant (ensuring no rainwater leakage at the connection). The other end is internally sealed to install the secondary camera body 206. The secondary camera body 206 and the main camera body 204 form a combination of main monitoring and auxiliary monitoring (such as the main camera being responsible for wide-angle monitoring and the secondary camera being responsible for close-up capture). While expanding the monitoring function, the sealing design of the connector enables the secondary camera to be protected from rainwater.

[0020] Specifically, a fixing rod 207 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting base 203, and a sensor mounting shell 208 is bolted to the end of the fixing rod 207. The fixing rods 207 are symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the mounting base 203.

[0021] The fixing rod 207 is symmetrically fixed to the side wall of the mounting base 203, and the end is connected to the sensor mounting shell 208 by bolts. The mounting shell can carry environmental sensors (such as rain sensors and temperature and humidity sensors) to realize the synchronous acquisition of monitoring and environmental data. The mounting shell adopts a waterproof design, and the connection with the fixing rod is protected by bolt tightening and sealing gasket to prevent rainwater from entering.

[0022] Furthermore, a connecting rod 209 is bolted to the side wall of the mounting base 203, and an auxiliary block 210 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 209. The auxiliary block 210 extends to the bottom of the sensor mounting housing 208.

[0023] One end of the connecting rod 209 is fixed to the side wall of the mounting base 203 by bolts, and the other end is fixedly connected to the auxiliary block 210. The auxiliary block 210 extends horizontally to the bottom of the sensor mounting shell 208 to form a "rain shelter" structure, which can block some rainwater from directly impacting the sensor mounting shell, and at the same time provide additional support for the mounting shell to avoid the fixed rod from being deformed by long-term stress.

[0024] Furthermore, the connecting block 102 includes a main clamping block 1021 that is snapped onto one side of the connector at the end of the base 101, a secondary clamping block 1022 that is snapped onto the other side of the connector at the end of the base 101, and a handle bolt 1023 that is inserted into the side wall of the main clamping block 1021, with the end of the handle bolt 1023 threadedly connected to the side wall of the secondary clamping block 1022.

[0025] Among them, the connecting block 102 is a universal connector with a split structure: the main clamping block 1021 and the auxiliary clamping block 1022 are respectively snapped into the two sides of the connector at the end of the base 101. The handle bolt 1023 is inserted laterally into the side wall of the main clamping block 1021 and threadedly connected to the auxiliary clamping block 1022. By tightening the handle bolt, the main and auxiliary clamping blocks can be clamped and fixed, thereby stably connecting the extension rod 103 or the crossbeam 104 to the base 101. (In the support assembly, the extension rod 103 and the end of the crossbeam 104, and the crossbeam 104 and the end of the connecting seat 105 are connected through this type of connecting block 102. It can also be replaced with other specifications of connecting blocks 102 as needed to further expand the applicability of the camera and ensure the consistency and reliability of the connection of each component.)

[0026] Preferably, the extension rod 103 includes a main extension post 1031 inserted into the inner side of the ends of the main clamping block 1021 and the auxiliary clamping block 1022, a sleeve 1032 threadedly connected to the end of the main extension post 1031, and an auxiliary extension post 1033 threadedly connected to the other end of the sleeve 1032. The ends of the auxiliary extension post 1033 and the main extension post 1031 are provided with ball heads for cooperation, and the ends of the main clamping block 1021 and the auxiliary clamping block 1022 are provided with clearance notches for cooperation with the ball heads.

[0027] The main extension column 1031 and the auxiliary extension column 1033 are both provided with ball heads at their ends. Corresponding to the main clamping block 1021 and the auxiliary clamping block 1022, there are clearance notches that are adapted to the ball heads. The cooperation between the ball heads and the clearance notches can realize multi-angle rotation between the extension rod 103 and the base 101 and the crossbeam 104 (the adjustment range covers the horizontal and vertical directions) to meet the needs of different monitoring positions. The sleeve 1032 is the core of the extension length adjustment. By rotating the main extension column 1031 or the auxiliary extension column 1033, the thread insertion depth of the two in the sleeve 1032 can be changed, thereby adjusting the overall length of the extension rod 103.

[0028] It should be noted that a locking rod 1034 is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the sleeve 1032, and the end of the locking rod 1034 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the end notch of the sleeve 1032.

[0029] The locking rod 1034 is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the sleeve 1032, and its end is threaded to the side wall of the end notch of the sleeve 1032. After tightening, it can press against the ball head of the main extension column 1031 and the auxiliary extension column 1033 to fix the adjustment angle of the extension rod 103.

[0030] Preferably, a positioning bolt 1035 is threadedly connected to the middle position of the sleeve 1032, and the end of the positioning bolt 1035 is inserted into the middle of the sliding groove on the side wall of the secondary extension column 1033.

[0031] Among them, the positioning bolt 1035 is threaded to the middle position of the sleeve 1032, and its end is inserted into the groove on the side wall of the auxiliary extension column 1033. It not only restricts the circumferential rotation of the auxiliary extension column 1033, but also plays a guiding role when adjusting the length, so as to prevent the extension rod 103 from shaking.

[0032] In use, the base 101 is fixed to the outdoor mounting surface (such as a wall) using expansion bolts or similar means. The main clamping block 1021 and the auxiliary clamping block 1022 of the connecting block 102 clamp the connector of the base 101. Tightening the handle bolt 1023 completes the initial fixing of the extension rod 103. Rotate the main extension post 1031 or the auxiliary extension post 1033 on both sides of the sleeve 1032 to adjust the screwing depth of the two in the sleeve so that the overall length of the extension rod 103 adapts to the monitoring coverage requirements. After adjustment, tighten the positioning bolt 1035, which restricts the movement of the bolt end with the sliding groove of the auxiliary extension post 1033. Length offset; by utilizing the rotational engagement of the ball joints at the ends of the main extension column 1031 and the auxiliary extension column 1033 with the notch of the connecting block 102, the tilt angle of the extension rod 103 (such as tilting towards the ground or extending horizontally) and the orientation of the crossbeam 104 are adjusted. After determining the approximate installation position of the monitoring component, the locking rod 1034 on the side wall of the sleeve 1032 is tightened, and the ball joint is tightened to fix the angle. The crossbeam 104 and the extension rod 103, and the connecting seat 105 and the crossbeam 104 are fixed in sequence by the connecting block 102 to form a stable support structure, providing a reliable installation foundation for the monitoring component 200. The motor 201 is started, driving the bracket 202 to rotate the mounting base 203 horizontally, adjusting the horizontal monitoring direction of the main and secondary cameras. By manually or electrically adjusting the rotation angle of the mounting base 203 and the bracket 202, the vertical monitoring angle of the camera can be changed (e.g., adjusted to monitor the ground area or a high-altitude area), achieving all-around field of view coverage. The main camera body 204 achieves primary protection through the sealed shell of the mounting base 203 and a waterproof sealing ring. The secondary camera body 206 achieves secondary protection through the sealed installation of the connector 205 and the sealed insertion of the side wall of the mounting base. The sensor mounting shell 208 itself has a waterproof structure, and the auxiliary block 210 provides rain protection, forming a multi-layered rainproof system. The water system is adapted to outdoor rainy environments. The main camera body 204 is responsible for regular wide-angle monitoring, while the secondary camera body 206 can achieve close-up or partial monitoring as needed. The two work together to improve monitoring accuracy. The environmental sensor inside the sensor mounting housing collects data such as rainfall, temperature, and humidity in real time, which can be linked with the camera monitoring data (such as automatically enhancing the camera's night vision effect in rainy weather) to improve the device's environmental adaptability. The plug-in design of the connector 205 and the mounting base 203, and the bolt connection between the sensor mounting housing 208 and the fixing rod 207, facilitate later disassembly and maintenance (such as replacing the camera or sensor). After disassembly and assembly, the waterproof performance can be restored by sealing glue or gaskets to ensure long-term use of the equipment.

[0033] In summary, the support assembly, through ball joint and sleeve adjustment structure, allows for flexible adjustment of the support length and enables horizontal and vertical angle adjustment, meeting various monitoring needs such as overhead, low-angle, and side shots. The detachable connecting block allows for quick assembly and disassembly without special tools, adapting to various mounting surfaces such as walls, poles, and beams, reducing the difficulty of high-altitude installation and subsequent angle adjustments. The main camera body is encapsulated within a sealed mounting base, with the gap between the housing and the camera filled with an aging-resistant waterproof sealing ring to prevent rainwater from seeping in through the mounting base joints. The secondary camera body is sealed to the side wall of the mounting base via a connector, with a waterproof sealant applied at the interface between the connector and the mounting base. Sealing creates an independent, sealed space, ensuring the secondary camera's waterproofing without affecting heat dissipation within the mounting base. The monitoring components achieve functional upgrades through the cooperation of the main and secondary cameras and sensor expansion. Linkage can be achieved via motor and mounting base angle adjustments. The sensor mounting housing can accommodate sensors for rainfall, temperature, humidity, and wind speed, with data linked in real-time with the camera's monitoring feed: for example, when the rainfall sensor detects rain, the camera automatically switches to rain mode (enhancing image contrast and activating anti-fog functionality); when the wind speed sensor detects strong winds, the system automatically marks areas of image distortion and prompts manual review, improving the effectiveness and intelligent adaptability of the monitoring data. Replacing the secondary camera only requires unplugging the connector, eliminating the need to disassemble the entire mounting base, shortening maintenance time. Individual components of the support assembly can be replaced, reducing spare parts procurement costs.
