Abstract
A monitoring camera with a shade consists a camera body, a shade, at least two engaging elements, and at least two locking elements respectively corresponding to the at least two engaging elements in quantity. The shade has an inner surface and two tracks formed on the inner surface. The engaging elements are attached to the camera body to engage with the tracks on the shade. Because the engaging elements protrude from the camera body and are obviously visible, alignments of the engaging elements to the tracks are performed easily. Moreover, the locking elements further penetrate the shade to correspondingly combine with the engaging elements so as to firmly secure the shade on the monitoring camera.
