Abstract

An electrical fixture apparatus is provided to install devices on an electrical wiring component. In some embodiments, a fixture apparatus is provided for installing a camera using at least one conduit, one of which has a fastening end on one end, and a camera housing attached to a conduit on the other end. The camera in the camera housing provides support to be remotely reset using a sequence of power off on within a certain time interval. In further embodiments, a fixture apparatus is provided for installing a device on an electrical wiring component. The fixture apparatus may comprise at least one conduit, which has a fastening end on one end, and has a base at the other end. The fixture apparatus preferably supports the installation of an off the shelf device on its base.
