To provide a surveillance camera that allows easy adjustment of a plurality of cameras for making a panoramic image continuous in the horizontal direction.SOLUTION: A surveillance camera is a dome type surveillance camera and includes a base, a connecting member connected to the base, a plurality of cameras connected to the connecting member, and a dome type cover fixed to the base to cover the connecting member and the plurality of cameras. Each of the cameras is connected to the connecting member rotatably up to predetermined rotation angles in both right and left directions by having an imaging direction as an axis, such that a captured panoramic image becomes continuous in the horizontal direction. The prescribed rotation angles are angles at which images captured by two cameras imaging both ends of a panoramic image in the plurality of cameras are continuous with images captured by other cameras in the horizontal direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 16 【課題】パノラマ画像が水平方向において連続するよう、複数のカメラを容易に調整できる監視カメラを提供する。【解決手段】ドーム型の監視カメラであって、ベースと、ベースに連結される連結部材と、連結部材に連結される複数のカメラと、連結部材および複数のカメラを覆うように、ベースに固定されるドーム型のカバーと、を備え、複数のカメラのそれぞれは、撮影するパノラマ画像が水平方向において連続するよう、撮影方向を軸として左右両方向に所定の回転角度まで回転可能に連結部材に連結され、所定の回転角度は、複数のカメラのうち、パノラマ画像の両端を撮影する２つのカメラの画像が、他のカメラが撮影する画像と水平方向において連続する角度である。【選択図】図１６
