  • Patent number: 8567963
    Abstract: A system for a self-cleaning/wiping protective dome being integrated into an outdoor camera housing is an apparatus that is used to protect a camera assembly from moisture, weather conditions, and other environmental conditions. The apparatus includes a rotatable dome, a driving mechanism, a fixed wiper assembly, a dispensing mechanism, an enclosure, a mounting bracket, and a remote relay control device. The fixed wiper blade is pressed against the rotatable dome so that the fixed wiper blade cleans the exterior of the rotatable dome as the driving mechanism revolves the rotatable dome. The dispensing mechanism sprays wiper fluid onto the rotatable dome. The remote relay control device is used to electronically control and command the driving mechanism and the dispensing mechanism. The enclosure houses the components that could be affected by environmental factors. The mounting bracket attaches to the apparatus to an elevated structure such as a pole.
