Abstract

An around-view camera device includes a camera body, two around-view lenses, and a counterweight piece. The camera body includes two openings, a casing, and a circuit board, where the two openings are respectively provided on two opposite sides of the casing, and the circuit board is disposed within the casing. The two around-view lenses are respectively accommodated within the two openings of the camera body and are separately electrically connected to the circuit board. The counterweight piece is disposed on a side, different from sides of the two around-view lenses, of the casing or the circuit board far away from a center of gravity of the camera body.

Claims (22)

1. An around-view camera device, comprising:
