The invention discloses a rotatable wide angle type line tower real-time monitoring system. The system comprises towers and a remote terminal; insulators are arranged on the towers; overhead lines areconnected between the insulators of every two adjacent towers; mounting frames are erected between every two adjacent towers; H-shaped tracks are arranged on the mounting frames; two ends of each H-shaped track extend downwards to form a circular track; the circular tracks surround the outsides of the towers; camera devices are glidingly arranged on the H-shaped tracks; each camera device comprises a mounting plate; pulleys are arranged on two sides of the upper end of each mounting plate through inverted-L-shaped supports; cameras are arranged at the lower ends of the mounting plates throughrotating joints; electromagnetic conversion modules, wireless communication modules and controllers are further arranged on the mounting plates; and the controllers are connected with the wireless communication modules and are connected with the remote terminal through the wireless communication modules. Automatic patrolling and automatic shooting and uploading can be realized under the conditionof unmanned operation, and the influence of high wind is avoided, so that the manpower consumption is reduced, and the working efficiency is improved.
