Abstract

An omni-directional video camera device includes a base portion (1), several moveable lenses (11), a rotational portion (3), a rotational cover portion (2), several moveable rotational lenses (21) and an electrical control device 4. The moveable lenses (11) are disposed in the base portion (1). The rotational cover portion (2) is disposed on top of the base portion (1). The moveable rotational lenses (21) are disposed in the rotational cover portion (2). The electrical control device (4) is disposed in the rotational cover portion (2). Therefore, the omni-directional video camera de vice may be used indoors, outdoors or in a motor vehicle. With the moveable lenses (11) and the moveable rotational lenses (21), the omni-directional video camera device can capture and record video images in the environment in an omni-directional manner.
