     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     The following descriptions are exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following detailed description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. 
     Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims. 
     Please refer to  FIG. 1  to  FIG. 5 , the present invention discloses a helmet having the driving video record of 360 degrees which includes a helmet  1 , a first video camera  2 , a second video camera  3 , and a control module  4 . 
     The helmet  1  has a default thickness and can be any kind of helmet or safety helmet without the limitation of the type. 
     The first video camera  2  is set in the interior of the helmet  1  and the lens whereof is exposed out of the surface of the helmet  1 , which the video recording angle of view of the first video camera  2  is greater than 180 degrees, and the first video camera  2  has a first video recording area  21  within its effective video recording angle of view.
