In addition, the first guide grooves 221-2a are formed in a substantially arc shape, so that the installation angle of the camera 20 or the photographing angle of the camera 20 can be adjusted along the arc-shaped first guide grooves 221-2a. Can be adjusted freely in the up and down direction. On the other hand, from the outside of the first guide groove 221-2a of the camera coupling unit 221-2 of the first guide portion 221, the bolt 221-2b is directed toward the inside of the camera coupling unit 221-2. Each of the cameras 20 inserted and seated inside the camera coupling unit 221-2 is stably crimped and supported. That is, after setting the desired shooting angle in advance, the camera 20 is seated on the camera coupling unit 221-2 of the first guide portion 221 to correspond to the set shooting angle, and then bolts 221-2b. Is inserted into the first guide groove 221-2a to compress the camera 20. Meanwhile, in order to increase the coupling force between the bolt 221-2b and the camera coupling unit 221-2, a washer 221-2c may be interposed between the bolt 221-2b and the first guide groove 221-2a. have.

On the other hand, one side of the second guide portion 222, the second guide groove coupling unit 221-1 of the first guide portion 221 is coupled to the second guide groove 222-1 guided in the left and right directions It is formed to correspond to the number of the first guide portion 221. That is, one side of the second guide portion 222 is formed in a disk shape, the second guide groove 222-1 is made of an arc-shaped groove centered on the center of the disk shape, the second guide groove 222 The number of −1) may correspond to the number of the first guide parts 221 or the number of the cameras 20. Here, the first guide portion 221 is guided in the horizontal direction along the arc-shaped second guide groove 222-1 of the second guide portion 222. In addition, the first guide part 221 on which at least two cameras 20 are mounted may be angled at 45 ° to 180 ° in the left and right direction along the second guide groove 222-1.

On the other hand, the bolt 222-1b inserted into the second guide groove 222-1 from the upper side of the hollow 221-1a of the second guide groove coupling unit 221-1 of the first guide portion 221 and The first guide part 221 is provided by a nut 222-1c that engages with the bolt 222-1b that is inserted into the lower side of the second guide groove 222-1 of the second guide part 222. The second guide groove 222-1 of the second guide portion 222 may be coupled to the second guide portion 222 so as to rotate in the left and right directions. On the other hand, between the bolt 222-1b inserted into the second guide groove 222-1 and the second guide groove coupling unit 221-1 of the first guide portion 221, the bolt 222-1b and A washer 222-1d for increasing the coupling force between the second guide groove coupling units 221-1 may be interposed.

The housing 230 is formed in a substantially hemispherical shape, and the openings 231 corresponding to the viewing angles of the camera 20 disposed on the base member 220 may be formed in the housing 230, respectively. Here, the opening 231 may secure the field of view of the camera 20 in which the photographing angles in the vertical and horizontal directions are fixed by the first and second guide parts 221 and 222. In addition, the number and positions of the openings 231 formed in the housing 230 should correspond to the number and positions of the cameras 20 fixed by the first and second guide parts 221 and 222. On the other hand, the shape of the opening 231 of the housing 230 is not particularly limited, and various shapes capable of smoothly securing the field of view of the camera 20 are possible. For example, a housing 230 having two openings 231 may be formed to secure a viewing angle of at least two cameras.

Therefore, the first and second guides 221 and 222 as described above easily adjust the photographing angle of the camera 20 to photograph the four sides without blind spots, thereby eliminating the need for remote control of the camera angle adjustment.
