Abstract
The dome camera is a fixed-type dome camera having a camera lens, a direction of which is manually set. An inner cover is supported to a parallel support portion of a base. A dome cover is supported on an inclined step portion of the inner cover with the dome cover inclined by an inclination angle θ1. A pan direction of the camera lens has a predefined target direction to be set, and the inner cover is rotatable in the pan direction relative to the base, so as to be directed toward the target direction. An optical axis X of the camera lens passes through a spherical center of the dome cover, and an inclination limit angle of the dome cover is θ2.

A dome camera having a camera lens, a direction of the camera lens being manually set,
- the dome camera comprising:
- a base having a parallel support face parallel to an installation face to which the dome camera is installed
- the camera lens provided on the base so as to be rotatable in a tilt direction and in a pan direction;
- an inner cover supported on the parallel support face so as to cover the camera lens;
- and
- a semi-spherical outer cover covering the inner cover,
- the inner cover including:
- a partially spherical portion having an inclined support plane on which the outer cover is supported in such a manner that a summit direction of the outer cover is inclined at a predetermined inclination angle from a direction vertical to the installation face, and
- a semi-spherical portion having a semi-spherical shape having a window, the semi-spherical portion covered with the outer cover supported on the inclined support plane, and
- a cover constituted by the inner cover and the outer cover, the cover manually rotated in the pan direction relative to the base, so as to bring the direction of the window into accordance with the direction of the camera lens.
