  • Patent number: 10345691
    Abstract: A camera device includes a supporter, a plurality of camera units, a cover and a lens driving mechanism. The camera units are movably disposed on the supporter. The cover covers the supporter and the camera units. The lens driving mechanism includes a base, a pivoting component and a fixer. The base is disposed on the supporter. The pivoting component is disposed on the base. The fixer has a top surface and two supporting surfaces connected with each other. The supporting surfaces are used to support the camera units. The fixer includes a connective block disposed on a side of the supporting surface opposite to the top surface. The pivoting component is rotatably assembled with the connective block, so the fixer can rotate relative to the base and the camera units can be moved synchronously.

  • Patent number: 9661201
    Abstract: An image monitoring apparatus includes a casing, a camera module in the casing, and a lighting module disposed on the casing and located above or under the camera module on a plane corresponding to a vertical angle of view of the camera module. A horizontal light-emitting plane of a LED of the lighting module is perpendicular to the plane corresponding to the vertical angle of view. A lens of the lighting module covers the LED and has a convex light-exit surface, a bottom surface, and a concave light-entrance surface. A long axis of the convex light-exit surface is located at the horizontal light-emitting plane. A section thickness of the lens from the concave light-entrance surface to the convex light-exit surface along the long axis is greater than a section thickness of the lens from the concave light-entrance surface to the convex light-exit surface along a normal of the bottom surface.

  • Patent number: 9638983
    Abstract: A focus adjusting seat includes a base seat, at least one guide bar, a driving device and an image sensor adjusting seat. The base seat includes a bottom plate and a front plate connected to the bottom plate and having a lens installation hole. Two ends of the at least one guide bar are disposed on the bottom plate, respectively. The driving device is disposed on the bottom plate and has an output screw. The image sensor adjusting seat includes a bottom seat and an image sensor installation part connected to the bottom seat and facing toward the lens installation hole. The bottom seat has a screwed part screwed to the output screw and at least one guide groove movably assembled with at least one guide bar. The driving device is adapted to adjust a relative position between the image sensor adjusting seat and the lens installation hole.
