监视系统摄像机被安装在许多不同的环境中并且被用于检测或者记录 所关心的区域， 以实现整体安全的目的。 示例性的系统往往使用与支撑构 件相连接的摄像机从而提供环境中所关系区域的有效视野。 监视系统摄像 机捕获视频或者静止的图片， 并原地存储这些信息， 从而使其可被观察或 者远距离存档。 在现有技术中， 摄像机系统往往需要一种专门的集成设备 从而使摄像机可以安全的位于一个场所中提供需要的视野。 这种现有技术 系统通常非常容易被认出是一架摄像机， 有时会故意被遮挡。
在视频安防行业， 有一类矩形摄像机， 只有一个信用卡般的大小。 有 时， 这种摄像机被命名为立体摄像机。 这种立体摄像机在其外壳里通常安 装有装配镜头和集成电路原件。 它们与其它两类摄像机（箱式摄像机和半 球摄像机） 不同的地方在于其相对较小的形状因子。 当箱式摄像机或者半 球摄像机与传统的防护相机架一起被安装在下沉的天花板或者干壁天花板 上时， 这种装置会占据大量空间而摄像机机身和电缆则相对较小。 发明内容

图 14A-B显示了不含有旋转接头的摄像机组件。 具体实施方式 本发明中的实施方案对于在公共区域中审慎地提供监视追踪是十分有 用的， 例如， 通过将监视摄像机安装在天花板上并隐藏住部分摄像机及其 线缆。 在某些实施方案中， 旋转接头组件， 例如， 位于摄像机组件的一个 末端上的球窝接头组件， 其允许在被安装到内凹式的外壳组件中时， 摄像 机组件是可以调节的。
之前的解决方案可以通过螺丝钉来将监视摄像机直接安装到天花板 上， 而无需使用传统的摄像机支架。 所述的解决方案的劣势在于， 监视摄 像机仍旧是悬挂得非常低， 而且可以看到连接在摄像机上的线缆。 除此之 夕卜， 在没有可以调节的传统的摄像机的支架的情况下， 很难调节监视摄像 机的视觉角度。
本发明中的实施方案是一种监视摄像机， 其可以通过内凹式的外壳组 件来安装在天花板中或者倚靠在具有较少的视觉可视空间的支撑表面上。 本发明的实施方案中的监视摄像机系统可以将部分摄像机组件隐藏在松开 的天花板中或者隐藏在清水墙的天花板中， 这是通过开凹槽的方式来借助 内凹式的外壳组件来安装支点来实现的， 所述方案也可以隐藏任何相关的 线缆。 安装好的具有天花板支撑附件的摄像机组件可以被配置为类似于天 花板上的内凹式的灯座或者自动洒水灭火装置。
附图 1A是本发明的实施方案的一个可以效仿的应用。 附图 1A显示 的是安装在零售业环境 10中的系统 100中的各个部件。 摄像机组件 101被 安装在位于天花板的开口中的内凹式的外壳组件 120 中。 内凹式的外壳组 件 120与内凹式的照明应用中所常用组件相似。 摄像机组件 101 具有透镜 103， 其视场 109根据特定的应用环境进行调整； 在这样的应用中， 摄像机 的视场既可以观察到这一零售环境 10 中的雇员 11， 也可以观察到顾客 12。 摄像机组件 101 也可以包括状态指示器， 例如， 发光二极管 （LED ) 104。 在这一实施方案中， 当发出亮光时， LED 104 仅仅是在摄像机组件 101 中是可见的。 LED 104 可以指示出摄像机组件 101 的故障， 或者提供 其它的状态指示， 这是通过发出亮光或者不发光， 或者通过闪烁的方式来 实现的。 LED 104 可以通过控制器开启动， 以使技术人员在给定的位置上 能够从众多的摄像机组件中识别出特定的摄像机组件 101。
附图 1B显示的是摄像机组件 101的后视图。 摄像机组件 101 具有集 成的球窝接头 110 (旋转接头 110 的一种类型， 其可以作为二轴接头或者 其它的多轴接头的替换使用） ， 该球窝接头具有关联的配合部件 111。 某 些实施方案包括在摄像机组件 101 中的集成的可以调节的球窝接头组件 110。 球窝接头组件 110中的配合部件 111可以是螺纹孔， 该螺纹孔可以连 接到标准的支撑附件中， 例如， 1/4-20型的螺杆或者螺丝钉。 球窝接头组 件可以是由任何足以支撑滑动配合的连接方式的材料制成， 其可以承受 (即， 自行支撑）摄像机组件和线缆的重量， 而且无需改变摄像机的方 位。 天花板的支撑附件可以是由模型塑料制成的， 或者类似于内凹式的顶 灯的材料制成的。 具有集成的配合部件的球窝接头组件可以允许连接到对 应的配合部件中。 所述的对应配合部件可以包括在内凹式的外壳组件中， 或者可以允许连接到墙壁上或者连接到支撑部件上 （例如， 管线） ， 这是 通过使用 L型的托架来实现的， 而且仍旧可以提供足够的空间以方便摄像 机实现旋转或者向下角度的更多的选择， 由于集成的球窝接头的作用， 可 以提供平角和倾角的选择。
摄像机组件 101 也可以包括， 在连线的配置结构中， 数据通信端口 106允许发出和接收电子信号， 以及为摄像机组件 101提供动力。
附图 1C 显示的是， 安装在多个位置上并通过网络 20 连接到中心关 口 30上的多个摄像机组件 101。 在零售业的环境 10 中， 摄像机组件 101 被安装在内凹式的外壳组件 120 中， 而且被配置为具有既可以观察到雇员 11， 又可以观察到客户 12的视场 109。 相同的位置上具有空间 20， 在此， 摄像机组件 101 以垂直方向被安装到墙壁上， 以便具有视场 109。 安装人 员 14可以使用梯子 14和简单的工具， 例如， 菲利普帽式螺丝刀， 来调节 和安装摄像机组件 101。 通过关口 30和网络 40 的作用， 摄像机组件 101 可以与远程位置或者设备相接口， 其也可以连接到关口 30上。 显而易见的 是， 由于安装的便利性， 与当前的监视系统相比， 安装的时间得到极大的 缩减。 在集成的旋转接头组件的实施方案的情况下， 例如， 与之前的具有 旋转接头的笨重的机械臂的摄像机的固定方式相比， 该监视摄像机的安装 和机械调整组件都可以通过单个的螺口插座连接来完成。 本发明的各种实 施方案可以作为云底视频的监视管理系统的一部分。 所述系统在美国第 13/335591 号专利申请中有所描述， 其全部教导通过引证并入本文。
附图 2A 和附图 2B 是安装在内凹式的外壳组件中的摄像机组件的侧 视图和后视图。 附图 2A显示的是通过摄像机组件 101 和内凹式外壳组件 120的剖切。 摄像机组件 101被固定到内凹式外壳组件 120上， 这是通过 第一配合部件 111和第二配合部件 112来实现的。 配合部件 111被集成到 球窝接头组件 110 中的球窝中。 球窝接头组件 110被集成到摄像机组件 101的一个末端上， 而且透镜 103和 LED104都被集成到摄像机组件 101的 相对一个末端上。 同样也显示出的是， 摄像机组件 101 的电路板 105， 通 信端口 106， 摄像机的传感器 102和 LED 104 都被连接在一起。 摄像机的 透镜的视场角度是可以通过球窝接头组件的定位装置的转动来进行调节 的。
摄像机组件 101 可以进行简化， 而且可以具有微小的轮廓， 这是通过 使用小型的摄像机传感器 102 来实现的， 其类似于蜂窝式移动电话中的传 感器， 而且可以釆用单个的 PCB 105 电路板， 以位于任何一种内置式的电 路板连接之前， 而且， 其可以提供明显的重量上的缩减。 可以通过通信端 口 106来给摄像机组件 101提供动力。 摄像机组件的简单设计允许使用太 阳能电池， 其可以收集太阳光来作为可用能源。
附图 2B 显示的是， 内凹式外壳组件 120 的剖视图和摄像机组件 110 的后视图。 内凹式外壳组件 120被配置为可以固定在天花板的开口中， 或 者可以固定在支撑表面的开口中， 这是借助支撑表面的夹片 121 或者附着 到内凹式的外壳组件 120 中的可以摆动的片状垂悬物来实现的。 配合部件 111和对应的配合部件 112将摄像机组件 101安装到内凹式的外壳组件 120 中。 在这一实施例中， 球窝接头 110具有螺纹配合部件 111 和螺纹状的对 应的配合部件 112。 螺纹配合部件 可以被设计用于与标准的对应配合部件 相匹配， 例如， 1/4-20型的螺丝钉或螺杆。 人们可以理解的是， 本领域内 的其它形式的配合部件也是可以釆用的。 当釆用其它配合部件时， 术语 "螺纹状的" 可以用本文中等同的术语替换。

fj匕。
