It is intended to increase the efficiency of heating of a cover by a heater. A monitoring camera is equipped with a capturing unit, a cover that has a dome-shaped curved portion and a flange portion and configured to cover the capturing unit, a transparent conductive film provided on an inner surface of the dome-shaped curved portion and the flange portion, and a pair of electrodes configured to supply power to the conductive film.

Monitoring camera and cover

A camera device includes a first IR illuminator that is configured to irradiate a first irradiation range in a capturing area with first IR light, a second IR illuminator that is configured to irradiate a second irradiation range narrower than the first irradiation range in the capturing area with second IR light, and a controller that is configured to obtain a zoom magnification of the lens and controls the irradiation of the first IR light and the second IR light in a case where the zoom magnification is equal to a predetermined zoom magnification. The controller changes a supplied current of the first IR illuminator for the irradiation of the first IR light over a first predetermined time period, and changes a supplied current of the second IR illuminator for the irradiation of the second IR light over a second predetermined time period.

Camera device and IR light irradiating method

A imaging device includes: a lens unit which is rotatable about an optical axis thereof; an adjusting gear unit which includes an adjusting gear that rotates the lens unit; a case which accommodates the lens unit and the adjusting gear unit and has a penetration hole through which a portion of the adjusting gear protrudes outward from an accommodation space; and a cover which covers a portion of the case including the penetration hole from outside of the case.

Imaging device

A imaging device includes: a case having bottom and top plate portions with an accommodation space interposed therebetween; a dome cover protruding outward from the case through an opening formed in the top plate portion; an annular support member allowing a circumferential edge portion of the dome cover to be interposed between the support member and the top plate portion; a lens unit; and an elastic member disposed between the bottom plate portion and the lens unit and allows the lens unit to be biased in a direction toward the dome cover. The lens unit includes an outer circumferential portion disposed on outside of a lens in a direction along the bottom plate portion and engaged with an inside opening of the support member, and a stepped portion provided in the outer circumferential portion and restricts movement in the direction approaching the dome cover by abutting the support member.

Surveillance camera

A camera apparatus includes a camera unit that is provided with a camera lens, a camera body that rotatably holds the camera unit, and a rotating mechanism that rotates the camera unit in response to an emergency signal so as to be switched from a first state where the camera lens is stored inside the camera body to a second state where the camera lens is exposed to an outside of the camera body.
