[Prior Art] Due to the rapid development of technology, video conferencing that allows multiple people to discuss at different locations simultaneously has become popular. In the prior art, a professional video conferencing device usually has a computer host that can be connected to the Internet, and the computer host is connected to a device related to the video conferencing device, such as a camera, a microphone, a screen, a speaker, and the like. Instant interactive discussions can be performed by the host computer processing, transmitting and receiving images and audio signals between users. However, such equipment is bulky and expensive, and is not affordable to the average person. In the prior art, there is also a small network camera for home use. This type of webcam uses a home computer and the Internet to achieve a video conference with another user terminal having the same configuration. Although the price of such a network camera is relatively low, the quality of the obtained image is poor because the lens and the image sensing element are both inferior. In addition, in the prior art, there is also a function of performing a video conference by using a mobile phone (for example, a 3G mobile phone). Although the convenience is high, the transmission of the image is not via the Internet, but is transmitted through the system of the carrier, thereby generating a high amount. Telecommunications transmission costs. In addition, the camera or photography function of the mobile phone is far from the 200816792 and the general digital camera. Therefore, the image obtained by using the mobile phone for video conferencing is also poor in quality. Although the digital camera itself has a higher resolution lens and a camera-specific processor for better quality images, there is currently no digital camera connection to the network for video conferencing design. It is necessary to provide *^ a camera with video function to solve the above problem. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a camera with a video function. Another object of the present invention is to provide a display, a microphone and a microphone. Eight cameras with video capabilities. To achieve the above object, the video camera of the present invention includes a capture device, a network transmission module, a processor, and a memory. The capture device is used to capture image signals, and the network transmission module is used to transmit image signals. The memory includes video software. The processor is electrically connected to the capture device, the network transmission module, and the memory. By executing the video software by the processor, the image signal can be output through the network transmission module. To achieve the above other object, the video camera of the present invention includes a display for displaying the image, a microphone for capturing an audio signal, and a racquet for playing an audio signal. The display, the microphone and the sigma are respectively electrically connected to the processor. [Embodiment] 6 Technical content of 200816792, a special way for a reviewer to better understand the present invention. A preferred embodiment will be described below.
