Abstract: A kit for constructing a camera housing comprises a main housing unit, a first end cover, and a base stand. The main housing unit contains a camera compartment, and each end of the main housing unit is at least partially open to a recessed slot that has a width at an outer portion of the slot that is less than the width of an interior portion of the slot. The first end cover includes a locking piece having a shape that is complementary to the shape of one of the recessed slots. The base stand comprises a base having a top surface and a protrusion extending from the top surface, wherein the protrusion has a shape that is complementary to the shape of one of the recessed slots. Preferably, the shape of the vertical cross section of the two recessed slots is approximately the same.

Abstract: A system for controlling access to a secure room containing a plurality of safety deposit boxes, comprises a motion detector, a biometric sensor, and a plurality of contact sensors, wherein each of the safety deposit boxes is associated with at least two contact sensors. The system includes a processor that is configured to unlock the gate when a plurality of access conditions are satisfied, which may include: collecting via the biometric sensor a biometric sensor a biometric credential that matches a reference biometric credential in a user database; and determining the secure room is unoccupied based on at least a predetermined period of no motion detected by the at least one motion sensor. The processor may also be configured to generate a box-accessed event identifying one of the safety deposit boxes when all of the contact sensors associated with that safety deposit box are simultaneously opened.
