The invention discloses a water surface monitoring device, and relates to the field of automatic monitoring. The water surface monitoring device comprises a main equipment box, and a
solar cell panel and a camera which are installed at the top of the main equipment box. An equipment box, a self-priming pump, a compression
air pump, an upper communicating
pipe and a lower communicating
pipe are arranged in a shell of the main equipment box. The
solar cell is installed at the top of the device in a support mode, the area is larger, the power generation effect is better, the monitoring device is fixed within a
small range in an anchor mode, the monitoring effect can be achieved more stably, and the monitoring device can be prevented from floating along with
waves to be lost; the device can automatically turn over in
storm to protect a
solar cell and a camera from being hit by wind, water and rain, the whole device can sink to some extent, the device is more stable and
safer, and when the anchor cable is broken after a long time, the device can rapidly sink to the water bottom, follow-up
fishing is facilitated, and loss is avoided.
