Abstract

An assembly for easy installation of a surveillance or other camera on a surface, for example, a vertical surface. Some embodiments include, for example, a camera including an imager having a preset angle relative to a wall, or to a line perpendicular to the floor or ground. In some embodiments, the angle may be a preset or otherwise fixed angle, for example, by bracket for affixing the camera body to the surface.

Claims

1. An assembly for preset field of view imaging comprising:

an imager having a field of view angle;

means for affixing said imager to a surface at a fixed angle such that a boundary of said field of view is substantially perpendicular to said surface.

2. The assembly of claim 1, further comprising a camera body attached to said imager.

3. The assembly of claim 2, wherein said means for affixing comprises a bracket for attaching said camera body to said surface.

4. The assembly of claim 3, wherein said bracket is configured to affix said camera body to the surface at an installation angle.

5. The assembly of claim 4, wherein said installation angle equals half of said field of view angle.
