Abstract: A modular mounting assembly comprising a variable channel volume system for mounting a surveillance camera housing on a linear or corner portion of a structure such as a parapet. A pair of first bracket arms extending from a first subassembly are slidably received by a pair of opposing second bracket arms extending from a second subassembly and secured to define a rigid assembly. The first subassembly includes a forward-facing mounting plate upon which to mount a camera housing. The first subassembly and second subassembly are adjustable with respect to each other along the longitudinal axis of the assembly to permit the assembly to clamp and be temporarily secured over the surface of a wall or parapet. Compression means and standoff elements are provided and configured to define a channel volume for the parapet coping or flange portion to pass through when the assembly is secured on the parapet.

Abstract: A tunable, self-centering vibration damping and isolation system for stabilizing vibration-sensitive devices such as cameras and surveillance systems. A lower mounting plate is provided having a plate aperture. An upper plate is provided having an outwardly-depending shaft extending through the plate aperture to receive a camera or surveillance system. The upper plate is offset and flexibly supported above the lower mounting plate by a plurality of wire rope isolator elements and a plurality of elastomer O-ring elements, the properties of each of which are selected based at least in part on a user-defined or predetermined set of vibration displacement, velocity, frequency, or acceleration data. The camera or surveillance system is suspended through the aperture on the terminal end of the shaft so as to be supported on the plurality of wire rope isolator elements and O-ring elements.

Abstract: Mounting systems and kits for video recording devices, including a housing partially disposed within a suspension element, the suspension element having a mounting bracket connected thereto, and one or more shock-absorbing elements positioned at an interface or disposed at least partially between at least a portion of the housing and the suspension element. The housing can also include one or more thermal management or temperature control elements, including one or more heating elements, cooling elements, thermal conducting elements, heat dissipating elements, and/or ventilation elements. A kit can include a plurality of thermal management elements, including a variety of interchangeable thermal management modules for selectively heating and/or cooling the video recording device.

Abstract: A cleaning device for spherical-shaped covers for light fixtures and security cameras. The device has a plurality of flexible blades with an expandable cleaning pad attached to the tips of the blades. As the device is pushed onto a spherical dome cover, the blades flex outward permitting the pad to expand to the farthest end of the exposed dome. The device is rotated thereby rotating the cleaning pad and in the process, wiping the cover clean.
