WALL MOUNT CAMERA
First Claim
1. A wall-mounted security camera, comprising:
- a camera unit a capture video within a field of vision of the camera unit;
a base module to couple to a power outlet, control the camera unit, receive an input video signal from the camera unit, and transmit an output video signal across a network; and
a configurable rod in communication with the camera unit and the base module, wherein a first end of the configurable rod is mounted on the base module and a second end of the configurable rod is mounted on the camera unit, the configurable rod being movable between a first position where the camera unit is a maximum distance from the base module and a second position where the camera unit is disposed adjacent to the base module.

Abstract
A wall-mounted security camera is provided. A camera unit captures video within a field of vision of the camera unit. A base module couple to a power outlet, controls the camera unit, receives an input video signal from the camera unit, and transmits an output video signal across a network. A configurable rod is in communication with the camera unit and the base module. A first end of the configurable rod is mounted on the base module and a second end of the configurable rod is mounted on the camera unit. The configurable rod is movable between a first position where the camera unit is a maximum distance from the base module and a second position where the camera unit is disposed adjacent to the base module.
