Abstract
A dome-shaped camera () includes a body () including a camera unit (), and a dome cover () that covers the camera unit (). The body () includes a tilt table () that supports the camera unit () in such a manner that the camera unit () is rotatable in a tilt direction, a pan table () that supports the tilt table () supporting the camera unit () in such a manner that the tilt table () is rotatable in a pan direction, and an elastic member () that biases the tilt table () in a direction opposite to the pan table (). The dome cover () includes an inner cover () that covers the camera unit (), and an outer cover () that covers the inner cover (). The tilt table () is movable in the direction toward the pan table () against an elastic force of the elastic member (), and the inner cover () is mounted on the tilt table (). Consequently, a dome-shaped camera with enhanced impact resistance is provided.
