Abstract
A webcam comprises: a housing; a camera module positioned inside the housing; and a connection unit positioned at the lower part of the housing. The connection unit comprises: a contact module for connecting the camera module and a monitor; a first bracket coupled to the housing; a second bracket having the contact module fixed thereto; a hinge module for rotatably coupling the first bracket and the second bracket; and a fixation pin protruding to the outside of the housing. The webcam may be directly connected to the monitor and thus has the advantage of enabling the elimination of a cable for connecting to a main body.
