Abstract

A video camera stand with a video server function is provided, which is used for joining with a video camera. The video camera stand includes a stand body, a base, and a network video server module disposed in the stand body, and furthermore, the video camera stand and the video camera share a single power supply wiring, without additionally connecting to a different power supply.

Claims

1. A video camera stand with a video server function, used for joining with a video camera, comprising:

a stand body opened with two through holes;

a base for carrying the stand body; and

a network video server module mounted in the stand body, comprising;

a power input terminal connected to a power supply line;

a network connecting terminal connected to a network line;

a power output terminal connected to the video camera via a power transmission line, for transferring an electric power from an external power supply to the video camera; and

a signal receiving terminal connected to the video camera via a signal transmission line, for receiving the video captured by the video camera;

wherein the power transmission line and the signal transmission line respectively pass through the two through holes to be connected to joints corresponding to the video camera.

2. The video camera stand with a video server function as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a video camera fixing device, disposed on the stand body for locking the video camera.

3. The video camera stand with a video server function as claimed in claim 1, wherein one end of the power transmission line that is connected with the video camera is provided with a power connector for connecting to the joint corresponding to the video camera.

4. The video camera stand with a video server function as claimed in claim 1, wherein one end of the signal transmission line that is connected with the video camera is provided with a video connector for connecting to the joint corresponding to the video camera.

5. The video camera stand with a video server function as claimed in claim 1, wherein the network video server module further comprises a plurality of fixing holes formed on the peripheral edge, and a corresponding number of locking members pass through the fixing holes, so as to lock the network video server module on the base.

6. The video camera stand with a video server function as claimed in claim 1, wherein the base further comprises a power supply line hole and a network line hole, which are respectively provided for the power supply line and the network line to pass through and to be connected to the power input terminal and the network connecting terminal.

7. The video camera stand with a video server function as claimed in claim 1, further comprising at least one environment input unit mounted on the stand body for detecting the change in the surrounding environment of the video camera stand and inputting the detected result into the network video server module.

8. The video camera stand with a video server function as claimed in claim 7, wherein the environment input unit is a microphone.

9. The video camera stand with a video server function as claimed in claim 7, wherein the environment input unit is a motion sensor.

10. The video camera stand with a video server function as claimed in claim 7, wherein the environment input unit is a temperature sensor.

11. The video camera stand with a video server function as claimed in claim 7, wherein the environment input unit is a smoke sensor.

12. The video camera stand with a video server function as claimed in claim 1, further comprising at least one alarm output unit mounted on the stand body for enabling the network video server module to have a function of outputting an alarm to the surrounding environment of the video camera stand.

13. The video camera stand with a video server function as claimed in claim 12, wherein the alarm output unit is a speaker.

14. The video camera stand with a video server function as claimed in claim 12, wherein the alarm output unit is a buzzer.

15. The video camera stand with a video server function as claimed in claim 12, wherein the alarm output unit is a display lamp.
