Surveillance Camera Packing Member with Access Window
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional packaging processes for surveillance cameras require setting work to be done on each camera individually, making it time-consuming and cumbersome when dealing with large numbers of cameras, especially in extensive installations like shopping malls.
Innovation Solution
A surveillance camera packaging member featuring a cushioning material that exposes the connectorized cable and a corrugated board packaging box with a perforated side window, allowing for easy access and connection of cables without needing to remove the camera from the packaging.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If surveillance cameras are packaged individually with cushions and sealed packaging boxes, then protection during transport is improved, but accessibility for setting work deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The packaging box is divided into two functional zones: a sealed protective chamber for transport and an accessible open window area for operations. The cushioning material is segmented to provide protection in the sealed zone while allowing access through the open window, resolving the contradiction between protection and accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The open window acts as an intermediary interface between the sealed packaging and the external environment. It allows cables and connectors to be accessed without compromising the sealed protective structure, enabling setting work while maintaining transport protection.
2Ease of operation
If surveillance cameras are taken out from packaging for setting work, then ease of operation is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The packaging box is pre-configured with an open window and exposed connector areas during the packaging process itself. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need to dispackage cameras before setting work, allowing technicians to perform configuration tasks directly through the open window, thus reducing time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The packaging structure itself provides the functionality needed for setting work through its open window design. The packaging box serves dual purposes: protection during transport and accessibility during setup, eliminating the need for separate unpacking operations and reducing overall time consumption.
3Productivity
If multiple surveillance cameras are packaged and stacked, then productivity is improved, but accessibility for setting work deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The packaging box is segmented with an open window that provides accessible access points while maintaining the ability to stack multiple units. The cushioning material is designed to expose connectors through this window, allowing technicians to access multiple cameras for setting work while maintaining efficient stacked packaging.
Solution Approach 2:
The packaging box design serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides protective sealing, enables cable access through the open window, and maintains stackability for efficient storage and transport. This multi-functionality allows multiple cameras to be packaged efficiently while preserving accessibility for setting work.

AI summary
The present invention facilitates the work of setting a surveillance camera (30) with the surveillance camera (30) in a packed and stacked state. A surveillance camera packing member (1) is composed of: a cushioning material (10) that has a cylindrical shape with one end open and that holds a case side surface (31) and a circular dome section (32) of a dome-type surveillance camera (30); and a packing box (20) formed by bending a corrugated board sheet to form a rectangular parallelepiped and that accommodates the cushioning material (10) in which the dome-type surveillance camera (30) is held, a perforated line (23) for forming a open window section (22) of predetermined size for removing a connector-equipped cable (40) being provided to a side surface (21) of the packing box (20) facing the casing back surface (33) of the accommodated dome-type surveillance camera (30).
