Abstract
A surveillance camera device is provided which has an impact absorbing structure. The camera device includes a rotary base supporting a camera unit, a rotary bracket supporting the rotary base, and coil springs. The coil springs work to elastically urge the rotary base away from the rotary bracket to as to permit the rotary base to move straight against the mechanical pressure of the springs when subjected to a damaging impact on the device, thereby absorbing the impact to avoid damage to the camera unit.
