Abstract

A dome type surveillance camera includes a base, a plurality of cameras, a first connecting section, a plurality of second connecting sections, a hemispherical cover fixed to the base, and a circular rail. The first connecting section is connected on the base and connected with one first camera out of the plurality of cameras. The second connecting sections are connected on the base and connected with each of a plurality of second cameras excluding the first camera out of the plurality of cameras. The cover is disposed to cover the first connecting section, the second connecting sections, and the plurality of cameras. The rail is provided on the base and of which a center is immediately below a top of the cover.

Claims (29)

1. A dome type surveillance camera comprising:

a base;

a plurality of cameras;

a first connecting section connected on the base and connected with one first camera out of the plurality of cameras;

a plurality of second connecting sections connected on the base and connected with each of a plurality of second cameras excluding the first camera out of the plurality of cameras;

a hemispherical cover fixed to the base so as to cover the first connecting section, the second connecting sections, and the plurality of cameras; and

a circular rail which is provided on the base and of which a center is immediately below a top of the cover,

wherein the first connecting section has

a first member which is erected from immediately below the top of the cover on the base and freely turns about a portion immediately below the top, and

a second member which has one end connected to the first member and the other end which is connected to the first camera and freely turns in an elevation angle direction, and

the first member and the second connecting sections slide along the circular rail.

2. The surveillance camera of claim 1 ,

wherein the second member is connected to the first member such that the other end moves to traverse a top direction of the cover.

3. The surveillance camera of claim 1 ,

wherein each of the plurality of second cameras is connected to the plurality of the second connecting sections such that an imaging direction moves in an elevation angle direction with respect to the base and the imaging direction moves so as not to traverse a top direction of the cover.

4. The surveillance camera of claim 1 ,

wherein at least one of the plurality of the second connecting sections has a first gripper, and

the at least one of the plurality of the second connecting sections slides along the circular rail in response to an operation of the first gripper by a user.

5. The surveillance camera of claim 1 ,

wherein the first connecting section has a second gripper, and

the first connecting section rotates in an azimuth direction of the base in response to an operation of the second gripper by a user.

6. A dome type surveillance camera comprising:

a base;

a plurality of cameras;

a plurality of connecting sections connected on the base and connected with the plurality of cameras;

a hemispherical cover fixed to the base so as to cover the connecting sections and the plurality of cameras; and

a circular rail which is provided on the base and of which a center is immediately below a top of the cover,

wherein the plurality of connecting sections slides along the circular rail, and

wherein one camera out of the plurality of cameras is configured to move to be in a vertical position towards a top position of the cover, such that an optical axis of the one camera in the vertical position is parallel with a vertical axis of the cover.
