JPH09282570A - Monitor camera - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To confirm the range of monitor easily even for one worker and to adjust the direction of main body of a camera by mounting a monitor, with which the image of the camera is displayed, on the main body of the camera. SOLUTION: A monitor camera 1 is provided with a plate 2 which is fitted onto the ceiling or the surface of walls, stay 3 for fitting which is fixed on the plate 2, main body 5 of the camera mounted on the stay 3 for fitting so as to adjust the angle, and lens 6 provided in front of the main body 5 of the camera. A monitor 7 composed of a liquid crystal display device is turnably mounted on the lower face of main body 5 of the camera so as to appear outside. Then, a power source is connected to a CCD and a driver, and the video signal of the CCD is processed by a signal processing circuit and transmitted to a monitor center. When a switch is closed, the video signal is sent to the monitor 7 and the image is displayed. While watching the image displayed on this monitor 7, the worker can easily confirm the monitor range of the monitor camera 1 and adjust the direction of main body 5 of the camera.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention belongs to the technical field of surveillance cameras in crime prevention alarm systems.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A surveillance camera takes a picture of a predetermined surveillance area such as an office with a solid-state image pickup device such as CCD, transmits the image signal to a surveillance center, and displays it on a monitor screen to monitor an intruder. Is a device for performing. Conventionally, when a surveillance camera is mounted on a ceiling or the like and the imaging range is adjusted to a predetermined surveillance area, a worker who adjusts the direction of the surveillance camera and a worker who confirms the video of the surveillance camera on the monitor communicate with each other. I was going while.

[0003]

However, when at least two workers are required to adjust the direction of the surveillance camera and check the image, and when a large number of surveillance cameras need to be installed, this adjustment work is required. It has a problem that it takes time.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a surveillance camera in which even a single worker can easily confirm the surveillance range and adjust the direction of the camera body. To do.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the surveillance camera of the present invention is a surveillance camera in which the angle of the camera body is adjustable, and a monitor for displaying the image of the camera is attached to the camera body. Is characterized by.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 show one embodiment of a surveillance camera of the present invention, FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the entire configuration, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an electric circuit.

In FIG. 1, a surveillance camera 1 has a plate 2 attached to a ceiling or a wall surface, an attachment stay 3 fixed to the plate 2, and an attachment stay 3 attached to the attachment stay 3 by a ball joint so that the angle can be adjusted. Camera body 5
And a lens 6 provided in front of the camera body 5,
A monitor 7 composed of a liquid crystal display device is provided on the lower surface of the camera body 5.
Is rotatably mounted and can be exposed to the outside.

In FIG. 2, the power source 9 is connected to the CCD 10 and the driver 11, and the video signal of the CCD 10 is processed by the signal processing circuit 12 and transmitted to the monitoring center. When the switch 13 is closed, the video signal is sent to the monitor 7 and the video is displayed. The operator can easily check the surveillance range of the surveillance camera 1 and adjust the direction of the camera body while watching the video displayed on the monitor 7. The switch 13 may be opened and closed in conjunction with the rotation of the monitor 7, or may be installed on the monitor 7.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the surveillance camera of the present invention. The present embodiment is applied to a dome-shaped surveillance camera. However, the dome-shaped cover is not shown. The surveillance camera 1 includes a base member 1
5, a support plate 16 rotatably attached to the base member 15 in the horizontal direction, and a camera body 5 rotatably attached to the support plate 16 via a support arm 17 in the vertical direction. A monitor 7 is provided on the side surface of the main body 5.

[0010]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, in the surveillance camera in which the angle of the camera body is adjustable, the monitor for displaying the image of the camera is attached to the camera body, and therefore, one person Workers can easily check the monitoring range and adjust it.
