  Further, in the vehicle camera mounting bracket 1 of the present embodiment, the inner mounting panel 12 hits the back side periphery of the camera mounting hole 32a at the tips of the left and right side surfaces 12b1 and 12b1 of the camera housing 121 in the inner mounting panel 12. Since the drop-off preventing contact portions 12b2 and 12b2 that prevent the rear garnish 32 from falling off are formed, the back view camera 2 fixed to the vehicle camera mounting bracket 1 falls off the rear garnish 32, It can be easily and reliably prevented from being removed.

  Further, in the vehicle camera mounting bracket 1 of the present embodiment, the distal ends of the left and right side surfaces 12b1 and 12b1 of the camera housing portion 121 of the inner mounting panel 12 hit the rear side of the camera mounting hole 32a and protrude outward. Since the positioning protrusions 12b3 and 12b3 are provided to determine the mounting position of the inner mounting panel 12 with respect to the hole 32a, the inner mounting panel 12 can be mounted easily and reliably. In particular, in the present embodiment, since the positioning protrusions 12b3 and 12b3 are also asymmetric in the vertical direction, it is possible to prevent the inner mounting panel 12 having the mounting direction from being erroneously mounted upside down.

  Further, in the vehicle camera mounting bracket 1 of the present embodiment, in order to change the mounting angle of the back view camera 2, the bottom surface 12 a of the camera housing portion 121 in the inner mounting panel 12, the rear end portion of the back view camera 2, The spacer 13 is inserted between the inclined surface 13a for changing the mounting angle of the rearview camera 2, the opening 13b through which the wiring 22 of the rearview camera 2 is passed, and the rear portion of the rearview camera 2. Therefore, the mounting angle of the rear view camera 2 can be changed easily and reliably.

  In the description of the above embodiment, for example, the back view camera 2 that captures the rear of the vehicle 3 is described as an example of the vehicle camera. However, the vehicle camera mounting bracket of the present invention is only the back view camera 2. In addition, the present invention is also applicable to a vehicle camera mounting bracket for mounting a side view camera for photographing the side of the vehicle 3 and a front view camera for photographing the front of the vehicle to the vehicle or its accessories. .
