Omnidirectional User Configurable Multi-Camera Housing
First Claim
1. An omnidirectional user configurable multi-camera housing comprising:
- a top plate including one or more electronic circuit boards thereon;
a track plate secured to the top plate by a plurality of first fasteners, wherein the track plate is rotationally movable with respect to the top plate, when the first fasteners are loosen;
a plurality of camera assemblies movably installed on the track plate and within the top plate, each comprising;
a bracket movably secured to the track plate,a camera movably secured to the bracket, wherein the camera is rotatable in a plane perpendicular to the track plate, anda second fastener for movably securing the bracket to the track plate;
a transparent cover for covering the plurality of camera assemblies installed on the track plate; and
a trim plate for securing the transparent cover to the top plate with a plurality of third fasteners, wherein the track plate includes;
a plurality of first index holes around a perimeter of the track plate for configurable indexing a positioning and an alignment of a first portion of the plurality of camera assemblies,a plurality of second index holes around a center of the track plate for configurable indexing a positioning and an alignment of a second portion of the plurality of camera assemblies,a plurality of curve-shaped openings to accommodate the plurality of first fasteners and allow movement of the plurality of first fasteners within the curve-shaped openings, respectively, for rotational movement of the track plate with respect to the top plate, when the plurality of first fasteners are loosen, andan opening for a cable coupled to the one or more electronic circuit boards.
