Abstract:
An assembly for a rotatable surveillance camera is disclosed. The assembly can include a gimbal ring, a base securable to the gimbal ring and a flexible hook member securable to the base. The gimbal ring can have a slotted channel recessed into an interior surface. The slotted channel can have a spiral configuration with opposing ends and can extend around the interior of the gimbal ring at least one full revolution. The base can have a side wall with a slot provided through at least a portion thereof. The hook member can have a proximal end within the interior of the base and can extend outside the base through the slot to an opposing end having a tab. The slotted channel can receive the tab and be slidably rotated around said tab between the opposing ends during rotation of the gimbal ring relative the base.
