TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to the field of camera technology, and in particular to a mounting structure and a pan-tilt camera. BACKGROUND A pan-tilt camera may be a camera provided with a gimbal or pan-tilt head. The pan-tilt camera may include a device that is configured to carry the camera to rotate in both horizontal and vertical directions. Through mounting the camera on the gimbal, the camera may be enabled to perform shooting from multiple angles. In the related art, an installation manner of the pan-tilt camera may be a fixed installation, and the pan-tilt camera may generally be installed or mounted in a wall-mount manner or a ceiling-mount manner through a mounting bracket. The fixed installation may restrict the mounting and use of the pan-tilt camera, which may be unfavorable for users to flexibly mount and use the pan-tilt camera, and usage scenarios of the users may further be limited. At present, it is still impossible to realize different installation manners on the same pan-tilt camera. SUMMARY In a first aspect of the present disclosure, a mounting structure is provided. The mounting structure is configured in a pan-tilt camera. The mounting structure includes a first mounting portion, a mounting bracket, and a locking assembly. The first mounting portion is disposed on the pan-tilt camera. The mounting bracket is detachably connected to the first mounting portion at a first position or a second position. The mounting bracket includes a second mounting portion and a mounting end. In a case where the mounting bracket is located at the first position, the second mounting portion is connected to the first mounting portion through a direct insertion, and the mounting end is located at an end of the pan-tilt camera along a first direction. In a case where the mounting bracket is located at the second position, the second mounting portion is connected to the first mounting portion through the direct insertion, the mounting end is located at an end of the pan-tilt camera along a second direction, and an included angle is formed between the first direction and the second direction. The locking assembly is disposed between the mounting bracket and the first mounting portion. The locking assembly is configured to lock and fix the first mounting portion to the mounting bracket. In a second aspect of the present disclosure, a pan-tilt camera is provided. The pan-tilt camera includes a housing and the mounting structure described in the above embodiment. The mounting structure is connected to the housing through the first mounting portion, and the first direction is substantially perpendicular to the second direction.
