The utility model discloses a holder type box camera, and relates to the technical field of camera monitor equipment. The holder type box camera comprises a holder and a camera, wherein the tail portion of the camera is fixed on the central portion of the holder through a rotating shaft, and a baffle plate is arranged on the edge of the holder. The upper surface of the baffle plate is higher than the upper surface of the holder, and the axis of the baffle plate overlaps with the diameter of the holder. Since a baffle plate higher than the upper surface of the holder is arranged on the edge of the holder, the camera may be stopped by the baffle plate when the camera reaches the position of the baffle plate during rotating clockwise or anticlockwise, so that video line broken due to excessive rotation angle of the camera on the holder can be prevented, and that the camera can rotate left and right to ensure all-directional monitoring and unreduced monitoring scope. The holder type box camera is simple in structure and low in cost, saves manpower and material resources for maintaining monitoring equipment, and ensures normal operation of a video pick-up head. Moreover, the video interruption can be prevented, and the monitoring effect for transformer substation is ensured.
