ADJUSTABLE CAMERA ENCLOSURE
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a housing including a hollow interior defining a longitudinal axis, the housing including a first end and a second end and at least one aperture in a wall of the housing;
a beam including a first end and a second end, the first end of the beam disposed through the second end of the housing into the hollow interior of the housing such that the beam is disposed along the longitudinal axis, wherein the housing is configured to be slidable over the beam along the longitudinal axis to extend and retract the housing relative to the beam;
a camera disposed within the hollow interior of the housing, wherein a lens of the camera is oriented to the at least one aperture of the housing in a direction away from the housing; and
a base coupled to the second end of the beam, wherein the base is configured to be rotatable about the longitudinal axis to rotate the beam and the housing about the longitudinal axis.
