    摘要: A system for mounting a recessed electrical or electronic device housing in (behind or above) a wall or ceiling surface utilizes a pair of resilient spring clips that are threadedly attached to respective diametrically opposed threaded screws. The threaded screws are accessible from the front surface of the housing so that the recessed-mounted housing may be inserted into a hole in the wall or ceiling material and fixedly mounted therein by rotating the screws from the front (ceiling or wall) surface of the housing. Each spring clip includes a bearing tab that bears down against the back side of the wall or ceiling material to sandwich the ceiling material between the bearing tab and an annular flange on the front, open end of the housing. Each threaded screw is journaled in a shouldered bushing which is press-fitted into the housing annular flange. The length of the shouldered bushing approximates the thickness of the ceiling or wall material so that, when the spring clip bearing tab bears down against the back side of the ceiling or wall material, the bearing tab is essentially coplanar with the back side of the material in order to distribute the retaining force of the housing and the weight of the housing and its contents over a maximum area of the ceiling or wall material in contact with the spring clip bearing tab. The spring clip is adapted to compress slightly inwardly (toward the housing) as the housing is inserted into a hole in the ceiling or wall material, springing back outwardly in a manner to grip the back side of the ceiling or wall material once the spring clip is beyond the back surface of the ceiling or wall material. Thereafter, tightening the spring clip down against the back side of the ceiling or wall material retains the recessed-mounted housing in place.

    摘要: A system and method for tensioning a belt drive in a remotely controlled video camera is provided in which the belt drive tensioning system has an accessory pulley. A receptacle has a substantially circular opening and an extension. The extension is disposed partially around a periphery of an end of the circular opening and projects partially over the opening. A drive pulley is substantially coplanar with the accessory pulley. A housing has a body wall, a first longitudinal axis and a substantially circular tab provided at an end region of the body wall. The substantially circular tab has a second longitudinal axis which is parallel and eccentric to the first longitudinal axis. A drive pulley is substantially coaxially aligned along the first longitudinal axis and is rotatably coupled to the housing. The housing is configured to engage the receptacle in a first position where the drive pulley is at a first distance from the accessory pulley. The housing is rotatably transitionable between the first position and a second position within the receptacle so that the substantially circular tab is engaged by the extension when the housing is transitioned to the second position where the drive pulley is at a second distance from the accessory pulley. The second distance being greater than the first distance.

    摘要: A latching mechanism for latching the base of a surveillance camera and pan and tilt mechanism within the interior of an electrical receptacle box or housing comprises two components: a latch and a catch. The latch is the dynamic element of the latch mechanism, and is attached to or otherwise formed with the base which supports the pan and tilt mechanism and surveillance camera. The catch forms a part of the receptacle box or housing, and is the static element of the mechanism. The latch mechanism includes a dedicated latch that "latches" onto a dedicated catch of the catch mechanism in the base. The dedicated latch is spring-biased in the direction away from the center of the base and toward the catch mechanism, and also includes a downwardly depending release tab portion that is used for manually releasing the dedicated latch from the dedicated catch by enabling manual biasing of the dedicated latch in the direction toward the center of the base and away from the dedicated catch. It is preferable that two latch and catch mechanisms be used, diametrically opposed from one another on opposite sides of the base and housing. The dedicated latch and base each include barbed surfaces having slight reverse inclines that cause the dedicated latches to positively engage the respective dedicated catches, under the force of the weight of the base, camera and pan and tilt mechanism, when the base is positively latched within the housing. The electrical receptacle box or housing and the base each include mating electrical connectors that are oriented to self-align and fully interconnect simultaneously with the alignment and mechanical connection of the two latches and catches.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods and apparatus for providing reliable sealed enclosures for surveillance cameras that are capable of protecting an internal surveillance camera and related electronics from harsh external environmental conditions without using adhesives using a unique a sealing gasket that is sandwiched between upper and lower housing parts of a camera enclosure. The unique sealing gasket includes a flexible portion corresponding to the surfaces of the housing parts to be engaged that is generally perpendicularly attached to a front panel. The front panel has a central viewing pane, and a peripheral flexible sealing surface. A unique aspect of the sealing member of embodiments of the present invention is the inclusion of the front panel, viewing pane and upper/lower housing seal in a single member.

    摘要: A surveillance camera comprising a camera mounted in a housing, a trim ring and dome assembly, a flexible member and a clamping member. The housing and the trim ring and dome assembly have first and second surfaces. One of the first surface of the housing and the first surface of the trim ring and dome assembly has an indentation, and the flexible member is positioned in the indentation. The clamping member can be tightened and is shaped to contact the second surface of the housing and the second surface of the assembly such that when the clamping member is tightened the clamping member causes the housing and the assembly to compress the flexible member so that the flexible member provides a seal between the housing and the assembly.
