Surveillance camera mount with adjustable base plate and pivotable table
First Claim
1. An adjustable surveillance camera mount for mounting a surveillance camera within a camera enclosure, the camera enclosure having an interior mounting surface, the camera mount comprising:
- a base that is adjustably attachable to the camera enclosure interior mounting surface for linear translation in a direction parallel to the camera enclosure interior mounting surface;
a camera table pivotally attached directly to the base at a single pivot axis in a manner to pivot about the pivot axis relative to the base; and
camera table adjusting means for adjusting the position of the camera table about the pivot axis relative to the base.

Abstract
A camera mount (10) for a surveillance camera provides for adjusting the tilt of the surveillance camera (48) relative to the mounting surface for the camera mount inside an environmental camera enclosure or housing (44). The camera mount (10) includes a base plate (12) that is linearly adjustably attached to a mounting surface inside the environmental camera enclosure. A camera tilt table (16) is pivotally attached to the camera mount base plate (12) in a manner to permit the camera tilt table to pivot relative to the base plate in order to tilt the camera to vary the viewing angle of the camera relative to the mounting surface on which the environmental camera enclosure is mounted. The camera tilt table (16) includes an adjustment mechanism (26, 34) for permitting the camera installer to adjust the tilt or angle of the camera tilt table, and therefore the viewing angle of the surveillance camera, relative to the mounting surface on which the environmental camera enclosure is mounted. The camera tilt table adjusting mechanism also serves as the locking mechanism for locking the adjustment of the camera tilt table at essentially any desired viewing angle relative to the plane of the mounting surface on which the environmental camera enclosure is mounted. The camera mount base plate (12) is adjustably attached to a mounting surface on the inside of the environmental camera enclosure (44) in a manner to adjust the camera (48) so that its viewing lens can be positioned close to or remote from the camera environmental housing viewing window (62). The mounting surface for the environmental enclosure can be any number of locations, typically horizontal or inclined ceilings, or vertical walls.
