1. A building surveillance system arrangement, the system comprising:
- a rotatable camera;
a controller that adjusts a position of the rotatable camera using a camera control signal; and
a passive infrared (PIR) detection ring including a PIR sensor outputting motion information, the PIR detection ring configured to mount to an exterior of a base, wherein;
an electrically conductive pathway is conjointly defined when a first surface of the rotatable camera is in contact with a second surface of the PIR detection ring, wherein the electrically conductive pathway is configured to carry at least one of the camera control signal and the motion information to the rotatable camera, andthe controller adjusts the position of the rotatable camera based on the motion information.

Abstract
A modular building system arrangement includes a plurality of electrical building systems. Each electrical building system has a housing with a mechanical connector that is connectable with a like connector of each other building system housing. Members of any subset of the building system housings are connectable with each other to form a building system assembly. The building systems of the building system assembly conjointly define an electrically conductive pathway interconnecting each of the building systems of the building system assembly. The pathway carries power and/or data.
