Abstract

A camera installation device has a camera installation base ( 12 ) and a camera support section ( 14 ). A coupling direction (X) between the camera support section ( 14 ) and the camera installation base ( 12 ) is inclined relative to the direction vertical to a camera installation surface ( 16 ). Further, in the camera installation device, the angle of the camera support section ( 14 ) relative to the camera installation base ( 12 ) on a coupling reference surface (Y) crossing a coupling direction (X) is variable depending on the angle of the installation surface ( 16 ). Preferably, an inclination angle in the coupling direction (X) is 45°, and the camera support section ( 14 ) is reversible on the coupling reference surface (Y). Further, the camera support section ( 14 ) can be installed on an upper side and a lower side of a camera ( 18 ). The camera installation device can be used in different installation places such as a wall surface and a ceiling.

Claims (8)

1. A camera installation device comprising:

a camera installation base having an installation member for a camera installation surface; and

a camera support section coupled to the camera installation base and configured so as to support the camera, the camera support section having a pan rotary section and a tilt rotary section,

wherein the camera installation base and the camera support section are coupled by a coupling section having a fitting structure; and

wherein a coupling direction of the fitting structure between the camera installation base and the camera support section is inclined relative to a direction vertical to the camera installation surface, and the coupling angle of the camera support section with respect to the camera installation base is variable, the coupling angle of the camera support section with respect to the camera installation base is defined as an angle on a coupling reference surface which intersects with the coupling direction, and the coupling angle of the camera support section with respect to the camera installation base is varied by changing an installation angle of the coupling section with the fitting structure between the camera support section and the camera installation base, and

wherein the angle of the inclination of the coupling direction is 45 degrees, and the installation angle is changed by 180 degrees between a state of the camera installation base being installed on a ceiling and a state of the camera installation base being installed on a wall surface.

2. The camera installation device according to claim 1 , wherein the camera support section is configured so that it can be installed on either an upper side or a lower side of the camera.

3. The camera installation device according to claim 1 , wherein a camera wiring hole is provided so as to communicate the camera installation base and the camera support section.
