  • Patent number: 11196902
    Abstract: There is described an apparatus including a camera defining an azimuth axis. A swing supports the camera. The camera is rotatable relative to the swing about the azimuth axis. A yoke is rotatably coupled to the swing about a tilt axis. The swing is rotatable relative to the yoke about the tilt axis. A locking member attached to the swing is movable between a first position and a second position in which the locking member contacts the camera.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10627705
    Abstract: A camera device has a dome bubble member and an imaging unit housed within the camera chamber. A heat-emitting element, such as a film, may be arranged about the lens unit and is adapted to radiate heat for heating the dome bubble member. The camera device may include a sealing member adapted to sealingly engage a portion of the dome bubble member, whereby the heat radiated from the heat-emitting element is substantially contained within the sealed sub-chamber. The imaging unit may be rotatable about a first axis and a second axis in which the second axis is offset from the center of the dome bubble member and is displaceable in at least one direction transverse to itself. The camera device may have a shroud member that is pivotal about a third axis. The camera device may also have a shroud member that is transmissive to infra-red light.

  • Publication number: 20180101960
    Abstract: A combination video surveillance system and physical deterrent device is disclosed. At least one camera module of the video surveillance system defines a first field of view and is operable to generate image data corresponding to the first field of view. A video analytics module is configured to detect a foreground visual object falling within the first field of view, classify the visual object, and determine an appearance of the visual object. A positioning module is configured to determine a physical location of the visual object. A deterrence device controller is configured to receive the determined physical location of the visual object, to control a deterrence device to be aimed at the physical location of the visual object, and to control the deterrence device to selectively emit the physical effect.
