The invention discloses a monitoring device for security and protection, and relates to the technical field of security and protection equipment production. The monitoring device comprises a connecting seat with a rectangular cross section, a protective shell is arranged below the connecting seat, a main body is arranged inside the protective shell, a connecting shaft penetrates through the frontside on the protective shell, and a camera is embedded on the front side of the main body. The monitoring device is novel in design; an adjusting shaft is rotated to drive a driving bevel gear to rotate, the driving bevel gear drives the main body to rotate through a driven bevel gear, a rotating shaft, a rotating disc and the protective shell, the working range of the camera is adjusted, and themonitoring range of the monitoring device is enlarged; a connecting shaft, a nut, a connecting block, a stopping block and a through hole are matched, so that disassembly and assembly are facilitated;the adjusting shaft is prevented from transversely moving left and right through a protective sleeve; and through matching of a bearing block and a shaft sleeve, the adjusting shaft is prevented frombeing shifted in the vertical direction, and the stability of the monitoring device is increased.
