A lens assembly includes a lens with a lens barrel and a lens mount assembly. The lens mount assembly includes a lens mount barrel and a protrusion. First threads on the lens barrel and second threads on the lens mount barrel are shaped to permit the lens barrel and the lens mount barrel to be screwed together. The protrusion is positioned to interfere with at least one of the first and second threads as the lens barrel and the lens mount barrel are being screwed together. This interference resists rotation of the lens barrel relative to the lens mount barrel, thereby reducing the likelihood that the lens will be inadvertently screwed or unscrewed away from a desired depth.

Lens assembly and camera incorporating a lens assembly

There is described an apparatus including a camera defining an azimuth axis. A swing supports the camera. The camera is rotatable relative to the swing about the azimuth axis. A yoke is rotatably coupled to the swing about a tilt axis. The swing is rotatable relative to the yoke about the tilt axis. A locking member attached to the swing is movable between a first position and a second position in which the locking member contacts the camera.

Camera with lockable axes of rotation

A spherical camera is disclosed. The camera includes an imaging unit. A base of the camera includes a track. A spherical housing includes a first housing part for containing the imaging unit. A second housing part includes a dove tail shaped to be slidably received within the track of the base. A loop is positionable around a periphery surface of the base, the loop being tightenable from a first position wherein the spherical housing is tiltable along the track to a second position wherein the spherical housing is locked in position.

Spherical camera

A camera device has a dome bubble member and an imaging unit housed within the camera chamber. A heat-emitting element, such as a film, may be arranged about the lens unit and is adapted to radiate heat for heating the dome bubble member. The camera device may include a sealing member adapted to sealingly engage a portion of the dome bubble member, whereby the heat radiated from the heat-emitting element is substantially contained within the sealed sub-chamber. The imaging unit may be rotatable about a first axis and a second axis in which the second axis is offset from the center of the dome bubble member and is displaceable in at least one direction transverse to itself. The camera device may have a shroud member that is pivotal about a third axis. The camera device may also have a shroud member that is transmissive to infra-red light.

Dome camera

There is described a multi-headed camera comprising a camera base, multiple camera heads coupled to the camera base, each camera head comprising a camera lens defining an observation angle, each camera head being configured to pivot such that the observation angle may vary between a minimum observation angle and a maximum observation angle, and a protective shield attached to the camera base, extending over the camera heads and shaped such that for each camera head a distance between the shield and the camera head varies as a function of the observation angle. Attached to each camera head is a resiliently deformable and flared gasket positioned around the camera lens and extending toward the shield. The gasket is configured such that, for any observation angle between the minimum and maximum observation angles, the gasket contacts the shield about a closed light seal path for preventing light from passing between the shield and the gasket, and reaching the camera lens.

Camera enclosure

A dome camera mechanism for an improved gimbal pan assembly which stops further rotation of an optical module of the dome camera in a pan direction using a cam latch.

Dome camera mechanism

An adaptor for installing a camera or lighting fixture includes a housing. The housing includes a wall that define a slot that extends vertically between top and bottom ends of the slot. A spring steel strip is adapted to be received in the slot. The spring steel strip includes first and second sections separated by a sharp bend. A distal end of the first section is adapted to be brought into a first position in the slot. A distal end of the second section has a catch clip thereon adapted to be brought into a second position in the slot which is higher than the first position. The catch clip includes at least two resilient fingers adapted to permit the catch clip to be fitted into the slot when the two resilient fingers are laterally compressed towards each other, and then keep the distal end of the second section connected to the housing once the fingers are released.
