Patent ID: 8764318

Claim:
A dome camera having a camera lens, an orientation of the camera lens being settable, the dome camera comprising: a base having a parallel support face that is 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 such that a radial line perpendicular to the inclined support plane is inclined at a predetermined inclination angle from a line passing through a center of the spherical portion and extending perpendicular to the installation face, and a semi-spherical portion having a semi-spherical shape, with an elongated window provided in the semi-spherical portion, the semi-spherical portion covered by the outer cover supported on the inclined support plane, and a cover constituted by the inner cover and the outer cover, the cover being rotatable in the pan direction relative to the base, so as to bring an orientation of the elongated window into accordance with the orientation of the camera lens, wherein a projection of a line joining maximum and minimum heights of the inclined support plane coincides with a projection of a line extending along an axis of elongation of the window, each projection extending in a direction perpendicular to the parallel support face.
