Solution Overview

Problem

It is challenging for installers to adjust surveillance cameras on building exteriors without being able to view the images captured by the cameras, making precise direction adjustments difficult.

Innovation Solution

A dome type surveillance camera system that includes multiple cameras, a wireless adapter for transmitting video data to a mobile terminal, and connecting members allowing for easy adjustment of camera angles via a mobile terminal, enabling remote alignment and adjustment of camera imaging directions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the surveillance camera is installed on the outer wall of a building, then the camera can monitor external areas, but the installer cannot adjust the camera direction while viewing the captured images

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecamera adjustmentVSAvoidimage feedback
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

A wireless adapter is introduced as an intermediary device between the surveillance camera system and the installer's mobile terminal. The adapter connects to the camera system via a connector on the base and transmits captured images wirelessly to the installer's terminal device, enabling real-time image feedback during camera adjustment without requiring physical proximity or direct line-of-sight to the camera lens.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If the connector for wireless adapter is integrated into the base, then the adjustment function becomes accessible, but the structural complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewireless connectivityVSAvoidconnector integration
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The base structure is designed with a multi-functional connector that serves dual purposes: it provides structural support for the camera system and simultaneously serves as an interface for wireless communication. This universal connector integrates both mechanical mounting functionality and electrical/data connection capabilities, reducing the need for separate components and minimizing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
