ABSTRACT:
An audio/visual unit security apparatus for mounting and enclosing an audio/visual unit to allow for maneuverability of the unit while providing a mechanical security collar that protects the mount-enclosure interface in order to prevent and deter theft of the audio/visual unit. A ceiling-mounted audio/visual unit security apparatus is provided that includes a height adjustable mounting assembly. The mounting assembly includes a support column affixed at one end to an upper support surface, such as the upper ceiling of a crawlspace or attic. A height adjustable mounting column is adjustably mounted alongside the support column. The lower portion of the mounting column extends below a lower support surface, which represents the ceiling of a room below the crawlspace where an audio/visual unit is to be suspended. The lower portion of the mounting column is rotatably coupled to a locking assembly. The locking assembly includes an enclosure for housing the audio/visual unit and a security collar for removably receiving the mounting column and for covering exposed portions of the mounting column. The security collar includes security links, which provide a further layer of protection by covering the exposed column mount and coupling the yoke through which the lower end of the column mount protrudes, to the jacket. The jacket includes a hinged door to allow for easy insertion and/or removal of the audio/visual unit. The audio/visual unit security apparatus may be mounted to a wall by coupling a substantially horizontal extension member to the column mount and rotatably coupling the unit jacket thereto.
