Abstract:
1. A dome camera comprising a base, a camera provided on the base, and a dome cover supported on the base to cover the camera, wherein the base has a predetermined reference surface at which the base is mounted on an object and a cover-support surface tilted relative to the reference surface; the dome cover comprises a semispherical cover and a partial spherical cover, wherein the semispherical cover and the partial spherical cover have the same spherical center and are joined together at a joint surface passing through the spherical center and tilted relative to both the cover-support surface and the reference surface; the semispherical cover has a semispherical shape obtained by cutting a sphere at the joint surface; the partial spherical cover has a partial spherical shape obtained by cutting a sphere at the joint surface and at a cover-supported surface tilted relative to the joint surface; the cover-supported surface of the partial spherical cover is supported on the cover-support surface of the base; the dome cover is supported so as to be rotatable on the cover-support surface around a rotational axis passing through the spherical center; and the cover-support surface changes an angle of the joint surface to the reference surface when the partial spherical cover is rotated on the cover-support surface.
