First Claim
1. A surveillance camera mount, comprising:
- a bracket adapted to be permanently secured to a mounting surface, said bracket defining a portion of a hollow housing having a surface adapted to support a surveillance camera and an opening disposed to face opposite said camera supporting surface, and including means for permanently mounting said bracket to said mounting surface;
a base conforming to said opening in said bracket, said base defining the remainder of said hollow housing and having a flange extending substantially about the perimeter thereof with at least a portion adapted to be disposed internally of said bracket when said base is secured to said bracket, and including means for securing said base to said bracket;
said base securing means including first securing means operatively associated with said base and said bracket adjacent said mounting surface and second securing means operatively associated with said base and said bracket at a point remote from said mounting surface; and
means for locking said base to said bracket in a tamper-proof manner;

Abstract
A surveillance camera mount including a bracket and a base defining a hollow housing which are formed so as to render the mount essentially tamper-proof. The bracket is adapted to be secured to a mounting surface and includes a surface adapted to support a surveillance camera and an opening or channel disposed to face opposite the camera supporting surface. The base conforms to the opening or channel in the bracket and has a flange extending substantially about the perimeter thereof with at least a portion adapted to be disposed internally of the bracket. When the base is secured to the bracket, the fasteners adapted to mount the bracket to the mounting surface and the camera to the camera supporting surface are concealed.
