Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for preventing diffused reflection of lighting for photography using a monitoring camera. Specifically, in a monitoring camera to which IR LED lighting for night-time surveillance is applied, a diffused reflection region of the IR LED due to a rotating motion of a camera lens part may be moved to secure a wide viewing angle. The device for preventing diffused reflection includes: a light emitting diode (LED) lighting part including a plurality of infrared (IR) LEDs disposed along a circular ring part at a predetermined interval and forming a blocking region in which no IR LEDs are installed to match an insertion region within the housing when the LED lighting part is rotated at a maximum angle due to vertical rotation of the vertical rotation bracket; and a lighting part bracket in which the LED lighting part is accommodated and is fixed and which is horizontally rotated clockwise/counterclockwise so that the blocking region formed in the LED lighting part exists within the housing when the camera body is multi-axis rotated for monitoring.

Claims

1. A device for preventing diffused reflection of lighting for photography using a monitoring camera in which a camera body in which horizontal rotation of a lens part bracket including a lens part clockwise/counterclockwise, vertical rotation of a vertical rotation bracket and horizontal rotation of a horizontal rotation bracket clockwise/counterclockwise are performed, is fixed to a housing, the device comprising:

a light emitting diode (LED) lighting part comprising a plurality of infrared (IR) LEDs disposed along a circular ring part at a predetermined interval and forming a blocking region in which no IR LEDs are installed to match an insertion region within the housing when the LED lighting part is rotated at a maximum angle due to vertical rotation of the vertical rotation bracket; and

a lighting part bracket in which the LED lighting part is accommodated and is fixed and which is horizontally rotated clockwise/counterclockwise so that the blocking region formed in the LED lighting part exists within the housing when the camera body is multi-axis rotated for monitoring.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein a maximum angle of horizontal rotation due to 3-axis rotation of the vertical rotation bracket is 80°

.

3. The device of claim 1, wherein rotation protrusions are formed at an outer edge of the lighting part bracket, and first and second stoppers are formed at an outer edge of the lens part bracket and face each other at an interval of 180°

so as to block progression of the rotation protrusions.

4. The device of claim 1, wherein, when a diameter of the circular ring part of the LED lighting part is 62.8 mm, the blocking region of the LED lighting part is a region of the circular ring part of the IR LED lighting part that escapes from a horizontal position of a center of the circular ring part at an interval in a range of 13.2 to 15.2 mm in a region in an upward direction of a rotation shaft or a region that escapes from the horizontal position of the center of the circular ring part at an interval of 25°

to 30°

in the region in the upward direction of the rotation shaft.
