Abstract
A wireless camera fixture adapted to mount on a track, such as a track normally used for overhead lighting fixtures, is described. Embodiments include the use of IEEE 802.11 wireless protocol, the use of a standard track-mount power supply; the use of a two-axis tilt and pan mechanical mount; hardware to permit horizon correction; modifications to a camera enclosure to support an antenna inside the enclosure and access to camera controls; use of multiple antennas; use of a cover plate at the front of the enclosure; use of visible light or infrared light LEDs on the cover plate; configuration to use dual-circuit tracks; use of separate circuits in the track to power the visible light and infrared light LEDs separately. A method of manufacturing the fixture is described.
