Abstract: The present invention provides a compact case for a surveillance camera having exterior notches, recesses and/or grooves for accommodating the electronic receptors, connectors, wires and/or cables leading from the back of the camera. The case is designed for use with a specialized mounting system and covers, or to fit inside a secure enclosure having the same overall (and minimal) profile as the camera case itself which eliminate exposure of the electronic components in the notches to the outside. An adjustable protective base is provided in one embodiment.

Abstract: A system for mounting a recessed electrical or electronic device housing in (behind or above) a wall or ceiling surface utilizes a pair of resilient spring clips that are threadedly attached to respective diametrically opposed threaded screws. The threaded screws are accessible from the front surface of the housing so that the recessed-mounted housing may be inserted into a hole in the wall or ceiling material and fixedly mounted therein by rotating the screws from the front (ceiling or wall) surface of the housing. Each spring clip includes a bearing tab that bears down against the back side of the wall or ceiling material to sandwich the ceiling material between the bearing tab and an annular flange on the front, open end of the housing. Each threaded screw is journaled in a shouldered bushing which is press-fitted into the housing annular flange.
