Patent ID: 7425101

Claim:
A monitoring camera having a base having a closed bottom end; an open top; and an internal space defined inside the base; an adjustment bracket mounted rotatably in the internal space against the closed bottom end of the base and having a mounting base attached rotatably to the closed bottom of the base in the internal space and with an outer edge; and two positioning arms protruded perpendicular from the outer edge of the mounting base diametrically opposite to each other, parallel and facing with each other, and each positioning arm having a proximal end formed on the outer edge of the mounting base of the adjustment bracket; a distal end extended out from the open top of the base; and a curved slot defined through the distal end of the positioning arm; a camera bracket mounted between the positioning arms and having a top; a bottom; a connecting frame mounted in the bottom; and a camera lens protruded out from the top; a lens cover mounted around the open top of the base to protect the camera lens and the connecting frame; and an image adjusting assembly mounted in side the base and having a connecting frame mounted around the camera bracket and attached slidably to the positioning arms and having an upper connecting frame having two open ends; an inner face; and a curved channel formed in the inner face of the upper connecting frame from one open end to the other open end; and a lower connecting frame being connected to the upper connecting frame and having two open ends; an inner face; a curved channel being formed in the inner face of the lower connecting frame from one open end to the other open end and communicating to and corresponding to the curved channel of the upper connecting frame; and a positioning board being formed in the inner face of the lower connecting frame over the curved channel between the open ends and having multiple positioning holes; a rotating bracket connected to the connecting frame and the camera bracket and having multiple connecting boards attached securely to the camera bracket and covering around the circuit board; a rotating board being mounted with the connecting boards and mounted slidably in the curved channels in the upper connecting frame and the lower connecting frame and having a center; and a through hole formed through the center of the rotating board and the camera lens extending out from the rotating board through the through hole; and a fastener extending through one of the positioning holes in the positioning board and pressing against the rotating board to hold the rotating bracket in place.
