2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing a conventional hidden surveillance camera device in a mounted state. In FIG. 3, 1 is a mounting portion such as a building wall or door, and 2 is a pinhole lens 2a.
Is fixed to the inside of the mounting portion 1 through the mounting bracket 4, and the pinhole lens 2a is inserted into the hole 1a formed in the mounting portion 1 to monitor the outside. An illumination lamp 3 is mounted on the outside of the mounting portion 1 near the video camera 2.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described. When a person approaches the outside, the pinhole lens 2a of the video camera 2 optically captures it. This optical image is converted into an electric signal by the video camera 2, and the electric signal is transmitted to a monitor television (not shown) so that the external situation is displayed on the screen of the monitor television. By observing the image on the screen of the monitor TV in the room, it is possible to confirm the visitor or the intrusion of a suspicious person. Here, the illumination lamp 3 works to clearly capture a visitor or a suspicious person with the video camera 2 and to clearly display the image on the screen of the monitor television even under dark conditions such as at night. It is a thing.

By the way, in the above-mentioned hidden surveillance camera apparatus, it is important to monitor the presence of the video camera 2 without noticing it. Therefore, the mounting portion 1 such as a wall is used.
The video camera 2 with the pinhole lens 2a is used so that the hole 1a formed in 1 is as small as possible. Further, as the illumination lamp 3, a lamp having a stronger decorative meaning than a so-called floodlight is used.

[0005]

Since the conventional hidden surveillance camera apparatus is constructed as described above, it is necessary to make a hole 1a in the mounting portion 1 such as a wall even though it is small, and at the same time, the mounting portion 1 Installation work is required for both the inner and outer surfaces of the. In addition, when the video camera 2 is installed, its position is suitable for external monitoring, and the position of the video camera 2 protruding behind the mounting portion 1, that is, inside the room is limited to a position where it does not interfere with other objects. Since it is necessary to consider the relative position between the lamp 3 and the hole 1a, the installation position is subject to many restrictions. In addition, no matter how close the video camera 2 and the illumination lamp 3 are installed, they are separate bodies, especially the hole 1a.
However, the camouflage effect of the presence of the video camera 2 is not sufficient, and there is a problem that a suspicious person can easily discover the presence.

[0006] Further, in order to enhance the camouflage effect of the existence of the video camera, the conventional method has been used.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 81, it is known that a video camera is built in a lamp storage cover of an entrance light, but even in this case, the lamp portion and the video camera storage portion are clearly distinguished. Since it is a form, there is still a high possibility that the existence of the video camera will be discovered by a suspicious person or the like who is knowledgeable in that kind.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the installation work is very simple, and the camouflage effect can be enhanced to make it difficult to detect the existence of the video camera. It is an object of the present invention to provide a lighting device with a video camera that can be used.

[0008]

An illumination device with a video camera according to the present invention includes a video camera having a pinhole lens with a small diameter, and an orbiting illumination lamp having a cylindrical portion surrounding the periphery of the video camera. A mounting metal fixture for fixing the video camera and the illumination lamp, and a circle having a peephole for the pinhole lens in the center and formed larger than the outer shape of the video camera and fixed to the tip of the tubular portion. And a shield plate having a shape.

Particularly, it is desirable to add a decorative pattern to the front surface of the shielding plate.

[0010]

According to the present invention, since the video camera and the illumination lamp are formed into a unit unit which is completely united with the mounting metal fitting, it is not necessary to make a hole in the mounting portion such as a wall and the like. It is sufficient to mount from one side of the mounting part, and the mounting work becomes very easy. In addition, the video camera is made up of one component of the illumination lamp, such as a ballast or a wiring component, by the tubular portion connected to the circular illumination lamp and the circular shielding plate fixed to the tip of the tubular portion. In addition to simulating the internal parts of the above, it becomes possible for the decorative indirect lighting device to visually recognize the whole by the shield plate and the illumination lamp. Furthermore, the hole formed in the center of the circular shield plate is a video camera. It can be a very small one that corresponds to the pinhole lens of, and its small hole is located in the center of the device, making it almost inconspicuous in the overall pattern, thus enhancing the camouflage effect of the existence of the video camera. be able to.

Particularly, when a decorative pattern is provided on the front surface of the shielding plate, a visual recognition function such as the hole being a part of the decorative pattern can be given to further enhance the camouflage effect.
