[0002] With social development, the convenience of urban transportation has become an important consideration for improving people's quality of life. In order to solve the problem of convenient travel, buses and subways have become important choices for people's travel. By cooperating with different public transportation tools and complementing each other's advantages, the pressure on urban traffic operations can be alleviated.

[0003] Buses are among the earliest forms of public transportation, and installing cameras inside them has become standard practice in modern urban public transport. This is primarily due to a combination of considerations, including safety, management, evidence collection, and efficiency. Cameras can deter illegal activities, protect passengers' personal safety and property, and record the vehicle's operational status and driver compliance at the moment of an incident, providing direct video evidence for traffic police to determine liability.

[0004] Existing in-vehicle security cameras are usually installed on the roof. However, the space inside a bus is limited, so the installation of in-vehicle cameras needs to be controlled to improve the flexibility of camera installation. In order to control the size of the camera, the lens is usually placed inside the camera housing. In order to ensure a normal display of the field of view, the lens angle is set downward, resulting in a narrow field of view. In order to meet the panoramic illumination inside the bus, multiple cameras need to be equipped to cooperate, which increases the cost of use and is not conducive to improving competitiveness.

[0024] like Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model discloses an in-vehicle safety camera with a wide field of view, including a camera housing 1 and a camera ball head 2. The camera housing 1 has a camera mounting position inside, and a mounting part is provided on the upper end face of the camera housing 1. The camera housing 1 can be installed in a designated position through the mounting part. An upwardly inclined clearance surface 10 is provided on the front side of the lower end face of the camera housing 1. A camera window 101 that cooperates with the camera ball head 2 is provided on the clearance surface 10. The camera ball head 2 is located in the camera mounting position, and part of the camera ball head 2 extends out of the camera window 101. The clearance surface 10 can increase the downward angle adjustment range of the camera ball head 2.

[0025] By setting the clearance surface 10, the camera ball head 2 is placed in the camera window 101, which can effectively increase the downward angle adjustment range of the camera ball head 2, making the angle between the camera ball head 2 and the horizontal plane smaller, increasing the illumination field of view and the coverage area of ​​the field of view. By placing the camera ball head 2 inside the camera housing 1, the distance between the camera ball head 2 and the roof of the vehicle can be closer, further expanding the coverage area of ​​the field of view, reducing the number of in-vehicle cameras and controlling costs.

[0026] The camera housing 1 includes an upper camera housing 11 and a lower camera housing 12. The mating surfaces between the upper camera housing 11 and the lower camera housing 12 are inclined upwards and towards the front of the camera housing 1.

[0027] By tilting the camera housing 1 towards the front, a certain degree of error-proofing effect can be achieved during installation.

With the setting of the arc-shaped mounting adjustment groove 113, the camera housing 1 can be installed in a designated position with the help of screws. At the same time, the arc shape allows for flexible adjustment of the mounting angle of the camera housing 1.

[0040] The upper surface of the camera housing 1 is provided with a wiring window 114 that mates with the camera ball head 2.

[0041] The wiring window 114 can be configured to assist the camera dome head 2 in wiring.

[0042] As can be seen from the above, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by adopting its structure, it can effectively solve the problem of insufficient field of view of the in-vehicle security camera in the prior art. By setting the clearance surface 10, the camera ball head 2 is set in the camera window 101, which can effectively increase the downward angle adjustment range of the camera ball head 2, so that the angle between the camera ball head 2 and the horizontal plane can be smaller, thereby increasing the illumination field of view and the coverage area of ​​the field of view. By setting the camera ball head 2 in the camera housing 1, the distance between the camera ball head 2 and the roof of the car can be closer, further expanding the coverage area of ​​the field of view, reducing the number of in-vehicle cameras and controlling costs.
