Abstract

A surveillance assembly in which a camera and lens assembly is surrounded by a shroud to form an eyeball assembly which is rotatable about first and second axes and which is enclosed within a housing. A carriage assembly for mounting the eyeball assembly to the housing is provided in the surveillance assembly and includes pivot and engagement parts which allow the carriage assembly to be pivoted into position. Additionally disclosed is a camera/lens mounting with a resilient annular member for permitting adjustment of the mounting along the lens axis and a cable support assembly for an electrical cable connected between a camera lens assembly and another part of a surveillance assembly in which the cable support assembly permits the cable to be wound about the pivot axis of the camera and lens assembly.
Further disclosed is the use of a spherical shroud and a circular aperture in the shroud for viewing outward of the shroud and the further use of a lens member occupying the area of the circular aperture and having in the area of the aperture an outer spherical surface which follows the spherical surface of the shroud so as to complete the surface.
