Abstract
A video surveillance system is disclosed having an elongated tubular housing. The housing includes a planar back wall, a pair of spaced side walls, and a front wall extending between the side walls. The front wall further includes a portion lying in a plane oblique with respect to a plane of the back wall and the back wall, front wall and side walls together form an interior chamber in the housing. An opening is formed in the oblique portion of the front wall, and a video camera having a lens is mounted within the housing chamber so that the camera lens is aligned with the housing opening. The camera produces an output signal representative of the video picture at the camera lens which is electrically connected to video processing equipment, such as a recorder. The housing itself is mounted to a stationary structure, such as a building.
Claims (9)
1. A video surveillance system comprising:
an elongated tubular housing, said housing having a planar back wall, a pair of spaced side walls, and a front wall extending between said side walls, said front wall having a portion lying in a plane oblique with respect to a plane of the back wall, said back, front and side walls forming an interior chamber in said housing, said housing having an opening in said portion of said front wall, a video camera having a lens, said video camera being mounted in said housing chamber so that said camera lens is aligned with said housing opening, said camera producing an output signal representative of the video picture at said camera lens, wherein said housing is adapted to be mounted to a stationary structure.
an elongated tubular housing, said housing having a planar back wall, a pair of spaced side walls, and a front wall extending between said side walls, said front wall having a portion lying in a plane oblique with respect to a plane of the back wall, said back, front and side walls forming an interior chamber in said housing, said housing having an opening in said portion of said front wall, a video camera having a lens, said video camera being mounted in said housing chamber so that said camera lens is aligned with said housing opening, said camera producing an output signal representative of the video picture at said camera lens, wherein said housing is adapted to be mounted to a stationary structure.
2. The invention as defined in claim 1 and further comprising a transparent shield secured to said portion of said housing front wall along the length of said housing.
