The invention relates to a peripheral camera with a correlation function, comprising a pair of camera bodies, a light projector, a light receiver, a video module, a data module, a power supply module, a power supply module borrowing video wire, a data wire, a power wire and a connection control center, wherein the light projector and the light receiver are respectively stitched to the camera bodies; and the video module, the data module, the power supply module, the power supply module borrowing video wire, the data wire, the power wire and the connection control center are arranged in the camera. Because the light projector and the light receiver are respectively stitched to the cameras, the pair of peripheral cameras (the light projector and the light receiver are separately installed) are installed in the periphery to be prevented, and the cameras pass back to the master control center through the video wire, the data wire and the power wire. After the installation is finished, the infrared light projector and the light receiver are aligned, and then the prevention arrangement is carried out through the terminal of the center. When an intruder intrudes the peripheral camera with the correlation function, the center gives out an alarm and displays the picture of the point position on a large screen in real time so as to ensure that operators on duty can immediately treat according to the position displayed in the picture, and conveniently carry out evidence analysis afterwards.
