Abstract

A camera apparatus includes: a main body, on which a camera is mounted, wherein the camera is configured to capture an image of a surveillance area; a first attachment member coupled to the main body, and configured to be coupled to a second attachment member coupled to an external device to connect the external device to the main body; and a hanger connected to the main body, the hanger having a ring shape that forms a closed loop along a hole formed on an inside of the ring shape, wherein the hanger extends outwards from a side surface of the main body.

Claims (47)

1. A camera apparatus comprising:

a main body, on which a camera is mounted on a first side of the main body, wherein the camera is configured to capture an image of a surveillance area;

a first attachment member coupled to the main body, and configured to be coupled to a second attachment member coupled to an external device to connect the external device to the main body on a second side of the main body, wherein the second side of the main body faces in a first direction and is opposite to the second side of the main body; and

a hanger connected to the main body, the hanger having a ring shape that forms a closed loop along a hole formed on an inside of the ring shape,

wherein the hanger protrudes outwards in a second direction, perpendicular to the first direction, from an external side surface of the main body that faces in the second direction, and

wherein the hanger is exposed to an outside of the main body in the second direction in a state in which the first attachment member is assembled to the main body.

2. The camera apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a through hole is formed on the external side surface of the main body, and

wherein the hanger passes through the through hole to be connected to the main body.

3. The camera apparatus of claim 2 , wherein a part of the hole is connected to the through hole and another part of the hole is engaged with a user.

4. The camera apparatus of claim 2 , wherein a protrusion protrudes from an inner surface of the main body, toward the hole formed in the hanger,

wherein a part of the hanger positioned at the inner side of the main body is engaged with the protrusion and another part of the hanger is positioned at the outside of the main body.

5. The camera apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the protrusion comprises:

a protruding main body positioned inside the main body and extending in one direction; and

a bent portion that is connected to one end of the protruding main body at a certain angle with an extension direction of the protruding main body, and

wherein the part of the hanger is engaged with the protruding main body and the other part of the hanger is engaged with a user.

6. The camera apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the hole is not connected to the main body and the external device.

7. The camera apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the hanger engages with a user, while the user is coupling the main body with the external device by coupling the first attachment member to the second attachment member.

8. The camera apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the hanger is formed of a flexible material to be folded in a state coupled to the main body and stored within the external device.

9. The camera apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a distal end of the hanger that is away from the main body is configured to not be connected to the external device in a state in which the main body is coupled to the external device.

10. A camera apparatus comprising:

a main body, on which a camera is mounted, wherein the camera is configured to capture an image of a surveillance area;

a first attachment member coupled to the main body, and configured to be coupled to a second attachment member coupled to an external device to connect the external device to the main body; and

a hanger connected to the main body, the hanger having a ring shape that forms a closed loop along a hole formed on an inside of the ring shape,

wherein the hanger extends outwards from a side surface of the main body,

wherein the hanger is exposed to an outside of the main body in a state in which the first attachment member is assembled to the main body,

wherein a through hole is formed on an external side surface of the main body,

wherein the hanger passes through the through hole to be connected to the main body, and

wherein a part of the hole is connected to the through hole and another part of the hole is engaged with a user.

11. The camera apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the part of the hole connected to the through hole is formed inside the main body.

12. The camera apparatus of claim 10 , wherein a bottom surface hole is formed on one surface of the main body to expose the part of the hole.

13. The camera apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the bottom surface hole is formed on a bottom surface of the main body connected to external side of the main body in which the through hole is formed.

14. The camera apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the bottom surface hole is located between the through hole and the center of the main body.

15. The camera apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the another part of the hole engaged with a user is bigger than the part of the hole connected to the through hole.

16. The camera apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the part of the hole connected to the through hole is inserted in the through hole and is supported by engaging the inside of the main body.

17. A camera apparatus comprising:

a main body, on which a camera is mounted, wherein the camera is configured to capture an image of a surveillance area;

a first attachment member coupled to the main body, and configured to be coupled to a second attachment member coupled to an external device to connect the external device to the main body; and

a hanger connected to the main body, the hanger having a ring shape that forms a closed loop along a hole formed on an inside of the ring shape,

wherein the hanger extends outwards from a side surface of the main body, and

wherein the hanger is exposed to an outside of the main body in a state in which the first attachment member is assembled to the main body,

wherein a through hole is formed on an external side surface of the main body,

wherein the hanger passes through the through hole to be connected to the main body,

wherein a protrusion protrudes from an inner surface of the main body, toward the hole formed in the hanger, and

wherein a part of the hanger positioned at the inner side of the main body is engaged with the protrusion and another part of the hanger is positioned at the outside of the main body.

18. The camera apparatus of claim 17 , wherein a bottom surface hole is formed on one surface of the main body corresponding to the protrusion to expose the protrusion to the outside of the main body.

19. The camera apparatus of claim 18 , the bottom surface hole is formed on a bottom surface of the main body, through which the position of the part of the hanger located inside the main body is observed.

20. The camera apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the another part of the hanger is engaged with a user.
