Monitoring camera
View Patent ↗Provided is a monitoring camera including a base which is fixable and installable on a structure; a housing which is attachable to and detachable from the base; a hooking member which is disposed on the base so as to fix the housing with the base; a button member of which one end is exposed outside the housing and the other end is hinge-combinable with the housing in the housing; and a mounting unit which is fixedly attached to the hooking member so as to attach the housing to the base. The housing may be detached from the base by manipulating the button member which may detach the hooking member from the mounting unit.
1. A monitoring camera comprising:
a base which is fixable and installable on a structure;
a housing which is attachable to and detachable from the base;
a hooking member which is disposed on the base so as to fix the housing with the base;
a button member of which one end is exposed outside the housing and the other end is hinge-combinable with the housing and is disposed in the housing; and
at least one mounting unit which is fixedly attachable to the hooking member so as to attach the housing to the base, and is detachable from the hooking member due to a manipulation of the button member so as to detach the housing from the base, wherein the at least one mounting unit is disposed inside the housing.
2. The monitoring camera of claim 1 , wherein the mounting unit comprises:
an extension member of which one end is connected to the other end of the button member; and
a latch which is connected to the other end of the extension member and is fixedly attachable to the hooking member, wherein the extension member extends a distance between the button member and the latch.
3. The monitoring camera of claim 2 , wherein the mounting unit further comprises a fixing bracket which is disposed on the housing and is hinge-combinable with the latch.
4. The monitoring camera of claim 3 , wherein the mounting unit further comprises an elastic member which is disposed on a hinge pin that hinge-combines the latch and the fixing bracket, and has elasticity so as to maintain the latch fixedly attached to the hooking member.
5. The monitoring camera of claim 4 , wherein the elastic member is a torsion spring.
6. The monitoring camera of claim 4 , wherein the elastic member comprises a coil unit, a first straight unit which extends from one end of the coil unit, and a second straight unit which extends from the other end of the coil unit, and
wherein the coil unit fits around the hinge pin, the first straight unit is fixed with the fixing bracket, and the second straight unit is disposed on an upper portion of the latch.
7. The monitoring camera of claim 2 , wherein the hooking member comprises:
a bottom unit which is disposed on the base;
a pillar unit which extends from the bottom unit in a direction toward the housing; and
a protrusion unit which protrudes from one end of the pillar unit in a direction toward a side of the housing.
8. The monitoring camera of claim 7 , wherein the latch comprises a fixing indentation corresponding to the protrusion unit so as to engage with the protrusion unit.
9. The monitoring camera of claim 7 , wherein the protrusion unit comprises a slope which is inclined toward the housing.
10. The monitoring camera of claim 7 , wherein the base comprises an accommodating unit which provides a space where the hooking member is accommodated, and
wherein one side of the accommodating unit is open so as to allow the latch to fixedly attach to the hooking member.
11. The monitoring camera of claim 7 , further comprising a bracket which is disposed between the housing and the base,
wherein an accommodating indentation is formed in a side of the bracket so as to correspond to the hooking member.
12. The monitoring camera of claim 1 , wherein the mounting unit comprises:
an extension member of which one end is connected to the other end of the button member and wherein the extension member is disposed within the housing; and
a latch which is hinge-connected to the other end of the extension member and is fixedly attachable to the hooking member.
13. A monitoring camera comprising:
a base which is fixable and installable on a structure;
a housing which is attachable to and detachable from the base;
a hooking member which is disposed on the base so as to fix the housing with the base;
a button member of which one end is exposed outside the housing and the other end is hinge-combinable with the housing and is disposed in the housing; and
at least one mounting unit which is fixedly attachable to the hooking member so as to attach the housing the base, and is detachable from the hooking member due to a manipulation of the button member so as to detach the housing from the base,
wherein the mounting unit comprises:
an extension member of which one end is connected to the other end of the button member;
a latch which is connected to the other end of the extension member and is fixedly attachable to the hooking member; and
a fixing bracket which is disposed on the housing and is hinge-combinable with the latch.
14. A monitoring camera comprising:
a base which is fixable and installable on a structure;
a housing which is attachable to and detachable from the base;
a hooking member which is disposed on the base so as to fix the housing with the base;
a button member of which one end is exposed outside the housing and the other end is hinge-combinable with the housing and is disposed in the housing; and
at least one mounting unit which is fixedly attachable to the hooking member so as to attach the housing to the base, and is detachable from the hooking member due to an act of pushing the button member in a substantially perpendicular direction to a bottom surface of the base so as to detach the housing from the base.
