  • Patent number: 8164686
    Abstract: A surveillance television camera including a camera base which is mounted on an installation surface and to which a surveillance television camera is mounted, a dome cover which is detachably attachable to the camera base and a locking device including a movable locking member mounted on the camera base and an elastic member biasing the movable locking member toward a joint surface of the movable locking member relative to the dome cover. The camera base has a joint surface relative to the dome cover. The dome cover has a fitting recess formed in the joint surface. When the joint surfaces of the camera base and the dome cover are joined together so that the dome cover is turned circumferentially thereby to be attached to the camera base, the movable locking member is fitted into the fitting recess of the dome cover by a biasing force of the elastic member.
