Patent ID: 7658554

Claim:
A camera installation device comprising: a camera installation base having an installation member for a camera installation surface; and a camera support section coupled to the camera installation base and configured so as to support the camera, the camera support section having a pan rotary section and a tilt rotary section, wherein the camera installation base and the camera support section are coupled by a coupling section having a fitting structure; and wherein a coupling direction of the fitting structure between the camera installation base and the camera support section is inclined relative to a direction vertical to the camera installation surface, and the coupling angle of the camera support section with respect to the camera installation base is variable, the coupling angle of the camera support section with respect to the camera installation base is defined as an angle on a coupling reference surface which intersects with the coupling direction, and the coupling angle of the camera support section with respect to the camera installation base is varied by changing an installation angle of the coupling section with the fitting structure between the camera support section and the camera installation base, and wherein the angle of the inclination of the coupling direction is 45 degrees, and the installation angle is changed by 180 degrees between a state of the camera installation base being installed on a ceiling and a state of the camera installation base being installed on a wall surface.
