Embodiment Construction

[0025] refer to figure 1 As in FIG. 2 , the camera 1 and lighting device 2 are miniaturized such that each of them fits within half of a standard electrical switch box 3 . The top and bottom of the electrical switch box 3 are drilled to have a pair of pivot holes, a top pivot hole shown at 5 and a bottom pivot hole shown at 6 . A partially rotatable bay window inner frame 4 is also provided. Between the rear of its top 10 and bottom 11 it has a back 7 and sides 8 and 9 so that they are in a rigid structure about the back 7 at the rear. There is also a top front 12 and a bottom front 13, on each front a pivot pin is formed (the top pivot pin is shown at 14) which fits in the top pivot hole 5 and the bottom pivot hole 6 respectively, This allows the bay window inner frame 4 to be partially rotatable within the front portion 15 of the electrical switch box 3 . The pivot pin 14 has a sloped top, which allows the pivot pin to slide easily along the guide channel 16, during which...

Abstract

A surveillance camera and illuminator are covertly mounted in a partially rotatable bay window inner frame mounted within an electrical switch box. The bay window inner frame can thus be pivoted back and forth to orient the camera toward an entrance to a room in which the switch box is mounted. When the bay window inner frame is rotated to the desired position, a bay window switch box decor cover plate is mounted over the bay window inner frame, engaging it and locking it in the selected position by attachment of the cover plate to the switch box.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to unobtrusive and covert surveillance cameras. Background technique [0002] There are many small surveillance cameras that can record images with the help of infrared illumination in low light and no visible light conditions. Surveillance cameras are often installed in prominent locations to deter illegal activity. However, to minimize the risk of tampering, most of these surveillance cameras are located high and out of reach. In cases where the aim is to achieve facial recognition of a person, these camera arrangements often result in a wide range of problems due to the distance to the target area and due to the location of the camera, where the camera can only take a shot of the top of the target person's (usually wearing a hat) head. People dissatisfied with video surveillance. Facial shots are preferred and can often be used substantially for person identification. Sometimes it is also desirable to monitor a loca...
