Further, the seat body 81 of the base 80 of the present application is further provided with an avoiding hole 86, and the track groove 61 can be exposed through the avoiding hole 86, so as to further realize connection with the camera body 10.

Optionally, the image capturing apparatus 100 further includes an antenna 30, and the antenna 30 is disposed on the housing 20 and electrically connected to the camera body 10.

Further, the image pickup apparatus 100 of the present application is also provided with an antenna 30, and the antenna 30 is provided on the housing 20 and electrically connected to the camera body 10. It should be noted that the antenna 30 of the present application may be an external antenna, so that the quality of the signal received by the antenna 30 can be improved, and the omni-directional reception of the wireless signal can be realized.

Based on above-mentioned technical scheme, camera device 100 that this application provided changes the ball pivot mode through adjusting the omnidirectional into two directions and adjusts, can solve present camera because of lack stop device in adjusting, produces the cable winding during the omnidirectional adjustment easily, takes place the technical problem of twist-off even. In addition, the camera device 100 can be installed and adjusted by arranging the connecting piece 40, and the camera device is simple and convenient to operate and low in cost.

For example, an embodiment of the image capturing apparatus 100 claimed in the present application is as follows:

when the camera device 100 needs to be adjusted, the connecting member 40 is firstly loosened, at this time, the base 80 and the housing 20 are in a relatively free and loose state, that is, the camera device 100 enters the first state, and the first guide surface 83 of the pressing and holding portion 82 does not press the second guide surface 24 of the limiting portion 22, so that the bracket 60 is in a loose state at this time. And the maximum distance that the bracket 60 is released is the difference in height between the bearing surface 69 of the bracket 60 and the mounting bearing surface 25 of the adjustment member 70. This difference in height controls the amount of interference of the resistance 50 with the ball 11. When the bracket 60 is released, the resistance 50 is not compressed, and the ball 11 is in a movable state between the housing 20 and the resistance 50, the camera body 10 can rotate around the limit boss 12 and move in the vertical direction in the track groove 61 of the bracket 60. That is, the camera body 10 is changed from the universal adjustment of the spherical hinge to the two-axis adjustment. In addition, since the pressing portion 82 of the base 80 surrounds 360 degrees, the camera body 10 with the housing 20 and the antenna 30 can be adjusted in the horizontal direction synchronously. Meanwhile, the support 60 is provided with the gear rib 66, and the camera body 10 is provided with the limiting rib 13, so that the camera body 10 cannot rotate 360 degrees when rotating around the axis of the limiting boss 12, and the problem of knotting and winding of cables can be avoided by matching with the adjustment limitation of the track groove 61. In summary, at this time, the image capturing apparatus 100 provided in the present technical solution can implement three-axis adjustment.

After the monitoring angle of the camera device 100 is adjusted, the connecting member 40 can be screwed, and at this time, as shown in fig. 6, the first guide surface 83 of the pressing portion 82 presses the second guide surface 24 of the limiting portion 22, so that the resistance member 50 is fastened to the camera body 10, and the camera body 10 is also mounted and fixed.

The above description is only an example of the present application and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application, and all modifications of equivalent structures and equivalent processes, which are made by the contents of the specification and the drawings, or which are directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are intended to be included within the scope of the present application.
