An in-vivo camera device and an in-vivo monitoring camera system more excellent in usability are proposed. An in-vivo camera device includes a camera unit introduced into a body, a support member, and a camera-side cable. The support member has a trocar connection portion for connection with a trocar at a front end side, and is connected to the trocar in a state in which the trocar connection portion is fitted into the trocar by applying tensile force to the camera-side cable passing through the trocar. The support member is provided with a guide introduction portion that is formed to be relatively long at the front end side as a stabilization structure for stabilizing connection with the trocar.

A connector unit includes a connector and a plurality of connector cap parts that are rotatably attached to a side wall of the connector. The connector cap parts each have a first space for receiving an end portion of the connector. The connector cap parts rotate toward the connector and are joined together to form a connector cap so that the first spaces communicate with each other to form a second space and that the end portion is placed in the second space.

Terminal protection parts

A connector unit includes a connector cap and a camera-side cable connector. The connector cap includes a connection portion that movably connects the connector cap to the camera-side cable connector. The camera-side cable connector includes a first groove in which a protruding section of the connection portion is movably disposed.
