ABSTRACT:
A housing assembly is provided for use with a remote electronic surveillance camera or the like, having a removable housing cover which permits rapid access to the interior of the housing assembly for service and adjustments. The cover is connected to the housing with a plurality of latching mechanisms which combine both latching and hinging functions in a single unit. The latching mechanisms cooperate with each other to allow hinging of the housing cover about a number of different axes, and further permit complete removal of the cover. A specially designed locking mechanism is also disclosed which provides the above-mentioned latching and hinging features while securing the housing assembly against unauthorized intrusion.
The preferred embodiment of the invention further discloses a fan assembly and heating element which are used to maintain a desired temperature range inside the housing for optimum performance of an electronic surveillance camera mounted therein. The air flow pattern created by the fan assembly may also be directed past optical surfaces inside and outside of the housing to keep atmospheric contaminants such as dust and moisture from settling on the surfaces and distorting optical transmissions to the camera.
