After one hour of searching "old fashioned big camera", all I got was daguerreotype and camera obscura, but the latter is much older. It is not a camera obscura, right?

It did originally.  These days people use sheet film with backing made of more modern materials.

Again, a daguerreotype is a photographic process/film (or a picture made from such a process).  And, no, the thing(r) is not a camera obscura.  You may be searching in the wrong place…
