本発明の実施例について添付図面を参照して説明する。図１は監視カメラ装置１の側面図、図２は斜視図、図３はハウジング４を取り外した状態の斜視図である。監視カメラ装置１は撮像カメラ部２と映像信号処理回路部３とから構成されている。図４のブロック図に示すように、撮像カメラ部２は撮像レンズ、カメラ制御回路、撮像素子（ＣＣＤ）及びＣＣＤ駆動回路等から構成されている。また、映像信号処理回路部３は、撮像素子からの映像信号を処理する映像処理回路（１），（２）及びネットワーク処理回路から構成されている。   Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view of the surveillance camera device 1, FIG. 2 is a perspective view, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view with a housing 4 removed. The surveillance camera device 1 includes an imaging camera unit 2 and a video signal processing circuit unit 3. As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 4, the imaging camera unit 2 includes an imaging lens, a camera control circuit, an imaging device (CCD), a CCD drive circuit, and the like. The video signal processing circuit unit 3 includes video processing circuits (1) and (2) for processing a video signal from the image sensor and a network processing circuit.

上記撮像カメラ部２は、防水を施されたハウジング４に収納され、映像信号処理回路部３は、防水を施されたハウジング５に収納される。ハウジング４とハウジング５は分離可能且つ水密に結合される。   The imaging camera unit 2 is housed in a waterproof housing 4, and the video signal processing circuit unit 3 is housed in a waterproof housing 5. The housing 4 and the housing 5 are separable and watertight.

上記ハウジング４には、ワイパー装置６の駆動制御部７を収納するためのハウジング部８が一体的に形成されている。駆動制御部７を収納したハウジング部８は、後部開口を後ろ蓋９により水密に塞いでいる。ハウジング部８の前面には、ワイパー駆動軸１０が突出している。ワイパー駆動軸１０には、ワイパーアーム１１が取り付けられている。ワイパーアーム１１は、平行リンク機構１２により構成され、先端にワイパーブレード１３が取り付けられている。ワイパーブレード１３は、ハウジング４の前面の監視窓に嵌められた前面ガラス１４に付着する雨水等を払拭する。   The housing 4 is integrally formed with a housing portion 8 for housing the drive control portion 7 of the wiper device 6. The housing 8 that houses the drive control unit 7 has a rear opening that is watertightly closed by a rear lid 9. A wiper drive shaft 10 projects from the front surface of the housing portion 8. A wiper arm 11 is attached to the wiper drive shaft 10. The wiper arm 11 is constituted by a parallel link mechanism 12, and a wiper blade 13 is attached to the tip. The wiper blade 13 wipes rainwater or the like adhering to the front glass 14 fitted in the monitoring window on the front surface of the housing 4.

上記ハウジング部８の後部下面には、コントローラに接続する制御信号用のケーブル接続部１５が形成されている。また、上記、ハウジング５の後部下面には、電源接続部１６及びモニター用信号及びパソコンに接続する制御信号用のケーブル接続部１７が形成されている。この電源接続部１６に接続する電源線（図示せず）から、撮像カメラ部２、映像信号処理回路部３及び駆動制御部７に電源が供給される。   A cable connection portion 15 for a control signal connected to the controller is formed on the lower surface of the rear portion of the housing portion 8.

Power is supplied to the imaging camera unit 2, the video signal processing circuit unit 3, and the drive control unit 7 from a power line (not shown) connected to the power connection unit 16.

上記に説明したように監視カメラ装置１は、撮像カメラ部２及び映像信号処理回路部３を収納する各ハウジング４，５を防水とし、該撮像カメラ部２のハウジング４にハウジング部８を一体的に形成して、前面ガラス１４を払拭するワイパー装置６の駆動制御部７を一体的に収納したものであるから、撮像カメラ部２、映像信号処理回路部３及びワイパー装置６の電源線をまとめて一系統とすることができ、コスト低減を図ることができる。また、保守・点検の際には、従来装置のように監視カメラを一旦防水保護用のケーシングから取り出す必要も無いから、メンテナンス性に優れる。   As described above, the surveillance camera device 1 has the housings 4 and 5 housing the imaging camera unit 2 and the video signal processing circuit unit 3 waterproofed, and the housing unit 8 is integrated with the housing 4 of the imaging camera unit 2. Since the drive control unit 7 of the wiper device 6 that wipes the front glass 14 is integrally housed, the power supply lines of the imaging camera unit 2, the video signal processing circuit unit 3, and the wiper device 6 are combined. Therefore, the cost can be reduced. Further, during maintenance / inspection, unlike the conventional apparatus, there is no need to take out the surveillance camera from the waterproof protection casing.

また、上記の監視カメラ装置１によれば、撮像カメラ部２と映像信号処理回路部３とをそれぞれ収納した防水ハウジング４，５の両者を分離可能に結合したから、撮像カメラ部２を収納するハウジングとして、ワイパー装置６を備えたものを用いることにより、後付によりワイパー装置６を備えた監視カメラ装置１を構成できるメリットがある。この場合、撮像カメラ部２と映像信号処理回路部３を、ワイパー装置を備えないものとワイパー装置を備えない監視カメラ装置に共用できるメリットがある。   Further, according to the monitoring camera device 1 described above, since the waterproof housings 4 and 5 housing the imaging camera unit 2 and the video signal processing circuit unit 3 are detachably coupled, the imaging camera unit 2 is stored. By using the housing provided with the wiper device 6, there is an advantage that the surveillance camera device 1 provided with the wiper device 6 can be configured later. In this case, there is an advantage that the imaging camera unit 2 and the video signal processing circuit unit 3 can be shared by those that do not include the wiper device and those that do not include the wiper device.
