TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is capable of monitoring (viewing) the entire situation including the surrounding scenery, such as indoors of factories, offices, and other buildings, in the streets, and outdoors, such as parks, and particularly constantly monitors the surroundings outdoors. A surveillance camera that can ensure thoroughness at the time, is easy to maintain, can remove contamination etc. even if it is exposed to wind and rain, and can constantly monitor the surroundings and quickly respond to abnormalities etc. The present invention relates to a device and a maintenance device used for the device.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, cameras have been used to capture the status of remote locations, monitor and record surrounding conditions, etc., transmit them, and record captured images. A single camera that shoots in each direction by using a plurality of camera bodies with different shooting directions or by controlling the direction to perform horizontal swing (pan) or vertical swing (tilt) Or with a camera.
[0003]
Alternatively, a surveillance camera called a so-called 360-degree camera has been proposed and used, in which the entire periphery can be photographed by one camera without performing pan / tilt control. In this 360-degree monitoring camera, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, for example, a CCD camera device 101 connected to an image processing unit is installed in a monitoring area, and a center side is high in front of an objective photographing lens of the CCD camera device 101, , There is a configuration in which a convex mirror 102 having a gentle conical shape, which gradually becomes lower as it reaches, is disposed by a support 104. The surrounding image input to the convex mirror 102 is photographed by the CCD camera device 101, and the photographed surrounding image is subjected to panoramic conversion by the image processing unit 103 in real time processing to form a 360-degree image of the surrounding. If necessary, an image in a specific direction can be extracted from the 360-degree image.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional photographing system for forming such a 360-degree image, in the case of a plurality of camera bodies, a positional shift for obtaining continuous smoothness with an image photographed by another camera adjacent to each other is required. It takes time and effort to correct aberrations. In addition, since the surrounding 360 degrees are photographed, the columns of the camera housing and the like appear in the image, resulting in an image failure. Also, in the case of one camera body, the probability of occurrence of a failure is high due to the increase in the number of movable parts, which requires not only maintenance and inspection at all times, but also it is difficult to grasp the entire surroundings, and moreover, Therefore, it is very difficult to grasp which part of the whole acquired image is. In the case of the reflection input type camera body shown in FIG. 7, an extra support 104 is reflected in the reflection performance of the convex mirror 102, and it is difficult to capture local details. Even if a surrounding image having a certain degree is obtained, an image in the polar direction cannot be seen, and only a surrounding image having a defect can be obtained.
[0005]
Further, for example, in the case of a surveillance camera installed on the outer wall of various buildings, etc. in the city for security purposes, etc., since the shooting function of the camera is greatly affected by the influence of the outside air, the maintenance and inspection work for that is constantly performed. There is a need. However, many of these types of security surveillance cameras are often installed at relatively high altitudes to provide a bird's-eye view of the surrounding situation, making maintenance and inspection work not only easy, but also In some cases, the lens portion is covered with moisture due to exposure to the like, and sufficient photographing may not be performed.
[0006]
Accordingly, the present invention has been created in view of the above-described various circumstances, and has a 360-degree surrounding state by a surveillance camera body capable of simultaneously processing a total of six directions, for example, five directions in the upward direction and the divided surroundings. And the surveillance camera body is covered with a camera house surrounding the surveillance camera body so that the surveillance camera body is not exposed to the wind and rain even if it is exposed outdoors. An object of the present invention is to provide a surveillance camera device which can always maintain a clean state around a part, whereby a clear surrounding image can always be obtained, and maintenance and inspection are extremely easy, and a maintenance maintenance device used therefor.
