Abstract
A dome camera (A) includes a camera (), a base (A), and a dome cover (). The base (A) has a reference surface (P) and a cover-support surface (P) tilted relative to the reference surface (P). A semispherical cover () having a semispherical shape and a partial spherical cover () having a partial spherical shape are joined together at a joint surface (P). A cover-supported surface (P) of the partial spherical cover () is supported on the cover-support surface (P) of the base. The camera () is placed so that the optical axis (X) thereof passes through the spherical center (C). The dome cover () is supported so as to be rotatable on the cover-support surface (P) around a rotational axis (X) passing through the spherical center (C). Thereby, the direction of the visual range of the camera can be adjusted.
