Abstract

Abstract A surveillance camera system including a base plate, a truncated cone, a rotation ring spaced from the base of the truncated cone, a camera mounting assembly which readily mounts within the rotation ring, and a dome which rotates with the camera assembly and is easily engaged into position against spring-biased rollers. The system is a unique and novel combination of electrical and electromechanical components providing for ready access of all components in the event of servicing. The system will accept any suitable surveillance camera, and is readily adaptable with any surveillance camera of the appropriate size. An alternative embodiment illustrates a completely rotatable surveillance camera system which can be suspended from a standard.
