1. A camera with an accumulated water treatment function, comprising:
a main body;
a processing module, arranged inside of the main body and having an image processing unit and an audio processing unit;
an image capturing module, coupled to the processing module and configured to capture an environmental image;
a speaker, coupled to the processing module, wherein the audio processing unit generates a first audio file to be broadcasted from the speaker;
a first microphone, coupled to the processing module and arranged on a side of the main body different from that of the speaker; and
a second microphone, coupled to the processing module and arranged on a side of the main body different from that of the first microphone, wherein the first microphone or the second microphone is configured to receive the first audio file to obtain a second audio file and the audio processing unit is configured to determine a difference between the second audio file and a first preset audio file;
wherein the first preset audio file is the first audio file received by the first microphone in a non-accumulated water state; when the difference between the second audio file received by the first microphone or second microphone and the first preset audio file exceeds a threshold, the speaker broadcasts the first audio file so as to cause vibrations which eliminate the accumulated water.
