AI Technical Summary
Existing solutions for rapidly assembling AJAX video surveillance cameras in difficult-to-access areas are inefficient, as they require separate junction boxes and are not compatible with third-party wall mounts, limiting cable management and environmental protection.
An adapter plate is designed to securely attach AJAX video surveillance cameras to third-party wall mounts, allowing for efficient assembly and utilization of third-party mount advantages such as enhanced cable management and environmental protection.
The adapter plate facilitates rapid and compatible assembly of AJAX cameras with third-party wall mounts, minimizing additional outlay and maximizing the camera's potential by enabling effective cable management and environmental protection.
Abstract
Description
Technical field to which the invention belongs:
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of video camera surveillance and its assembly State of the art:
[0002] The applicant is currently unaware of the existence of such an adapter plate. Manufacturers currently only offer a dedicated junction box for mounting their own video surveillance camera models. However, this is not always suitable for quick installation, especially in hard-to-reach areas. Technical problem underlying the invention:
[0003] Key question: How can an AJAX video surveillance camera be easily and quickly mounted on a wall, especially in hard-to-reach areas?
[0004] Background: Video surveillance cameras from the manufacturer AJAX Systems are often used to monitor objects. The only component included at the factory is the so-called junction box. Cable overhangs are stored in this junction box. However, since the storage space for this is limited and the storage of cable overhangs must be managed in practice at mounting heights of 1.5 m or more, there is a need in specialist retailers to be able to switch to wall camera mounts from third-party manufacturers, such as Dahua. Such third-party wall mounts not only offer more storage space and simplify the installation of video surveillance cameras – especially in hard-to-reach or airy areas – but also provide the video surveillance camera with additional protection against external environmental influences, such as rain, and offer expanded options for optimizing the camera's viewing angle.However, such third-party wall mounts are inherently incompatible with video surveillance cameras from other manufacturers. This means that third-party wall mounts cannot be used with AJAX Systems video surveillance cameras, or only with considerable additional effort. This additional effort is minimized with the adapter plate subject to application, facilitating video surveillance camera installation and exploiting the full potential of the AJAX Systems video surveillance camera. Solution using the invention being applied for:
[0005] The video surveillance camera model from AJAX Systems is screwed onto the adapter plate (invention) that is the subject of the application. For this purpose, the adapter plate has pre-drilled holes that are compatible with the factory-installed screwing device on the AJAX Systems camera model itself.
[0006] The mounting device of the AJAX Systems video surveillance camera model, including the pre-screwed adapter plate, is then screwed to the third-party wall mount (here: Dahua). The adapter plate has its own drill holes compatible with the third-party wall mount. The third-party wall mount can then be screwed to the wall, allowing its advantages (professional and effortless storage of overhanging cables, enhanced protection against environmental influences, and optimized viewing angles) to also be used for AJAX Systems video surveillance camera models, creating shared synergies.
Claims
[] The following features should be protected: Adapter plate for simplified mounting of AJAX Systems video surveillance cameras to a third-party wall mount characterized by (main claim) that - this enables and simplifies the use of a third-party wall mount (e.g. from Dahua) when installing a video surveillance camera model from AJAX Systems, whereby - the adapter plate is at least 11 mm thick, - is arranged in a ring, ie has a central storage hole with a diameter of at least 21 mm and a maximum of 47 mm, furthermore - has an outer diameter of at least 98 mm and - is equipped with screw holes that are compatible with video surveillance camera models from the manufacturer AJAX Systems and can be firmly connected to the adapter plate via these screw connections, and - on the other hand, it provides precisely fitting screw holes for connecting the adapter plate to the third-party wall bracket.
