1. An oven comprising:
a main body;
an electrical component chamber inside the main body;
a cooking compartment inside the main body and separated from the electrical component chamber, the cooking compartment having an opening in a ceiling of the cooking compartment;
a camera assembly positioned above the cooking compartment, and including a body tube extending downward and tilted toward a rear of the cooking compartment, and a lens positioned at a bottom end of the body tube and configured to face the opening;
a first glass positioned at the opening to reduce transmission of heat from the cooking compartment through the opening;
a second glass positioned between the first glass and the lens to reduce transmission, to the camera assembly, of the heat from the cooking compartment transmitted through the opening and the first glass;
a holder configured to hold the second glass and at least part of the camera assembly;
a first fan configured to suction air from outside of the main body, wherein a flow path is formed inside the main body to guide the air suctioned by the first fan to the camera assembly;
a second fan configured to discharge air inside the electrical component chamber to outside of the main body; and
a third fan configured to circulate air inside the cooking compartment;
wherein the first glass and the second glass are positioned so that an image inside of the cooking compartment is capturable by the camera assembly through the first glass and the second glass.
