Abstract

A surveillance camera includes a camera unit, a camera case including the camera unit therein, and a rotation seat rotatably connecting the camera case. The camera case includes a substrate holding portion formed of metal. On an inner side surface of the substrate holding portion, a first substrate on which an electronic component that processes data transmitted from the camera unit is mounted is arranged. On an outer side surface of the substrate holding portion, a heat dissipating portion is formed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A surveillance camera comprising:
a camera; a camera case including the camera therein; a rotation seat rotatably connecting the camera case; a pan rotation shaft pan-rotatably supported relative to the rotation seat, wherein the camera case includes a substrate holder formed of metal, on an inner side surface of the substrate holder, a first substrate on which an electronic component that processes data transmitted from the camera is mounted is arranged, on an outer side surface of the substrate holder, a heat dissipator is formed, and the first substrate and the heat dissipator are arranged on an outer periphery of the pan rotation shaft.

2 . The surveillance camera according to claim 1 , wherein
the rotation seat faces the outer side surface of the substrate holder, and a heat dissipation space is provided between the rotation seat and the outer side surface of the substrate holder.

3 . The surveillance camera according to claim 2 , wherein
the heat dissipation space communicates with an external space.

4 . The surveillance camera according to claim 1 , wherein
the heat dissipator is continuous with a substrate fixing surface of the substrate holder on which the first substrate is disposed.

5 . The surveillance camera according to claim 4 , wherein
the substrate holder has a connection hole communicating with the rotation seat, the connection hole is provided with a slip ring therein, a second substrate is arranged inside the rotation seat, and is connected to the first substrate via the slip ring, and the heat dissipator is provided on an outer peripheral side of the substrate holder relative to the connection hole.

6 . The surveillance camera according to claim 1 , wherein
the heat dissipator includes a plurality of heat dissipation plates arranged at intervals between plate surfaces.

7 . The surveillance camera according to claim 6 , wherein
the heat dissipation plates extend outward from a center of the substrate holder.

8 . The surveillance camera according to claim 3 , wherein
the heat dissipation space is provided between the camera case and the rotation seat, and has a circular plate shape.

9 . The surveillance camera according to claim 1 , wherein
a gap is provided between the outer periphery of the pan rotation shaft and an inner side of the heat dissipator.

10 . A surveillance camera comprising:
a camera; a camera case including the camera therein and further including a metal substrate holder; and a rotation seat rotatably connecting the camera case, wherein on an inner side surface of the substrate holder, a first substrate on which an electronic component that processes data transmitted from the camera is mounted is arranged, on an outer side surface of the substrate holder, a heat dissipator is formed, the heat dissipator is continuous with a substrate fixing surface of the substrate holder on which the first substrate is disposed, the substrate holder has a connection hole communicating with the rotation seat, the connection hole is provided with a slip ring therein, a second substrate is arranged inside the rotation seat, and is connected to the first substrate via the slip ring, and the heat dissipator is provided on an outer peripheral side of the substrate holder relative to the connection hole.
