The present application provides a camera, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, which includes a main body 100 for implementing a photographing function and a folding bracket 200. Wherein, the folding bracket 200 includes a mounting plate 210 and a movable frame 220, and the folding bracket 200 forms a foldable support structure for supporting the host 100 under the movable connection of the movable frame 220. As shown in fig. 1 and 3, the movable frame 220 has a first movable end 221 and a second movable end 222 which are spaced apart from each other, the movable frame 220 is mounted to the host 100 so as to be swingable about the first movable end 221, and the mounting plate 210 is mounted to the movable frame 220 so as to be swingable about the second movable end 222. The folding bracket 200 according to the camera has a folded state in which the mounting plate 210 is close to the main body 100 and an unfolded state in which the mounting plate 210 is far away from the main body 100, so that the elevation angle of the main body 100 can be conveniently adjusted and the stand height of the main body 100 can be adjusted in a small scale.

The mounting plate 210 of the folding bracket 200 is preferably provided with at least one mounting hole 211 so that the mounting plate 210 can be fixed to a position to be mounted by a fastener that mates with the mounting hole 211. In the case where the number of the fitting holes 211 is one, it is also possible to conveniently adjust the horizontal orientation of the camera. The assembly holes 211 may be through holes or corrugated holes, threaded holes, etc. that can be directly mated with fasteners. Preferably, the mounting holes 211 are threaded holes and the corresponding fasteners are threaded members that mate with the threaded holes. The screw is preferably provided with a length longer than that of the fitting hole 211 so as to be able to be fitted with a position to be mounted on the other side on either side of the mounting plate 210, or other mounting aids are fixed between the mounting plate 210 and the nut of the screw. The screw cap of the screw member may be a conventional in-line screw cap, a cross screw cap, a polygonal screw cap, etc., or may be in the form of a screw cap with a manual screwing structure.

As shown in fig. 1, the folding bracket 200 may be disposed on the top surface 101 of the main unit 100 to mount the camera in a hanging manner; the folding bracket 200 may also be disposed on the bottom surface 102, so that the host 100 is supported on the folding bracket 200. Preferably, the top surface 101 and the bottom surface 102 of the host 100 may also be provided with a folding bracket 200, so that the folding bracket 200 located at the top or the bottom can be used to fix the position to be installed according to different installation requirements, thereby further improving the compatibility to the installation environment. The folding bracket 200 may be directly provided on the surface of the main body 100, or in order to reduce the influence of the folding bracket 200 on the external appearance of the camera, a mounting groove 103 is preferably formed on the top surface 101 and/or the bottom surface 102 of the camera. As shown in fig. 2, in the folded state, the mounting plate 210 and the movable frame 220 are both accommodated in the mounting groove 103.

According to the camera, the folding bracket 200 preferably further includes a base member 230, and the movable frame 220 is mounted to the base member 230 so as to be swingable around the first movable end 221. As shown in fig. 3, the base member 230 may be part of the host 100 and may be secured to the host 100. Or preferably, the base member 230 is removably mounted to the host 100 for ease of installation and maintenance.

As the movable connection structure, the first movable end 221 and the second movable end 222 of the movable frame 220 may have different connection structures. For example, the first movable end 221 and the second movable end 222 may be configured as a deformable connecting member, such as a bendable metal member or a hinge, and the connecting member is bent to enable the movable frame 220 and the mounting plate 210 to perform a swinging motion, respectively. According to a preferred embodiment of the present application, the yaw motion may also be achieved by a pivotal connection structure, as shown in fig. 1 and 3, and the folding bracket 200 may include two pivots 223. One of the pivots 223 extends through the first movable end 221 and the base member 230 to form a pivot-fit arrangement between the first movable end 221 and the base member 230. Another pivot 223 extends through the second movable end 222 and the mounting plate 210 to form a pivot fit between the second movable end 222 and the mounting plate 210.

In the case of a pivot fit, in order to maintain the biased position of the movable frame 220 and the mounting plate 210 to position the posture of the main body 100, the present application provides the following embodiments. The pivot 223 may be an interference fit with the shaft hole through which it passes to maintain the yaw angle of the mounting plate 210 and the movable frame 220, respectively, by friction between the pivot 223 and the shaft hole. When the posture of the main machine 100 needs to be adjusted, the above friction force of pivot fit can be manually overcome, so that the movable frame 220 and/or the mounting plate 210 perform the deflection operation, and after the deflection is in place, the deflection position is automatically maintained based on the friction force of pivot fit. According to another embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the pivot 223 is preferably formed with a shaft cap 224 at one end and a tightening member 225 cooperating with the pivot 223 at the other end. In the non-tightened state of the tightening member 225, the mounting plate 210 and the movable frame 220 can freely swing so as to adjust the swing angle. While in the state where the tightening member 225 is tightened, the tightening member 225 and the shaft cap 224 are tightened at both ends of the pivot shaft 223 to prevent relative rotation between the pivot shaft 223 and the shaft hole in which it is mounted, thereby maintaining the yaw angle of the mounting plate 210 and the movable frame 220.

Besides being directly fixed with the position to be mounted through the mounting plate 210, the camera of the application can be used with auxiliary mounting brackets so as to be capable of matching more mounting environments. Preferably, as shown in fig. 4, the camera includes an auxiliary frame 240 for use with the mounting plate 210, and the auxiliary frame 240 is provided with mounting holes corresponding to the mounting holes 211 so that the auxiliary frame 240 can be fixed to the mounting plate 210 by fasteners. The shape and size of the auxiliary frame 240 can be selected by a user according to the requirement, so that the camera can be installed in a position where the installation space or angle is severe, such as a wall surface or a corner. The number of the fitting holes 211 and the mounting holes is preferably one, thereby allowing the mounting plate 210 to adjust the rotation angle around the axes of the fitting holes 211 and the mounting holes. Preferably, the auxiliary frame 240 includes a first plate body 241 and a second plate body 242 not extending on the same plane, the mounting hole is provided on the first plate body 241, and the second plate body 242 is used for fixing with a position to be mounted. The first plate 241 and the second plate 242 preferably extend in an L shape, so as to be fixed to a position to be mounted at a side or rear of the camera through the second plate 242.

According to the camera of the preferred embodiment of the present application, the folding bracket 200 is disposed in the mounting groove 103 of the main body 100 of the camera. By means of the pivot structure at two ends of the movable frame 220 of the folding bracket 200, the positioning posture of the host 100 can be adjusted under the condition that the position of the mounting plate 210 is fixed, and the folding bracket 200 can be locked at any time through the tightening piece 225 of the pivot 223 and the shaft cap 224. As shown in fig. 3, at least one side surface of the mounting plate 210 is preferably covered with an anti-slip layer 212 made of an elastic material, and the anti-slip layer 212 is a silica gel layer or a rubber layer, so as to further improve the anti-seismic performance of the camera and increase the friction between the mounting plate 210 and the position to be mounted or the auxiliary frame 240.
