  • Publication number: 20240098370
    Abstract: A pan-tilt-zoom device includes a housing, a carrier, an image sensor, and a shape memory alloy (SMA) motor. An accommodating cavity is formed in the housing, and a first opening in communication with the accommodating cavity is provided on the housing. The carrier is located in the accommodating cavity, the carrier has a lens mounting hole, and an opening at one end of the lens mounting hole faces the first opening. The image sensor is located in the accommodating cavity and is disposed on a side that is of the carrier and that is away from the first opening, and a photosensitive surface of the image sensor faces an opening at the other end of the lens mounting hole. The SMA motor is configured to drive the carrier to tilt in the accommodating cavity along with the image sensor in any direction around, to implement optical image stabilization.
