Abstract
Abstract An enclosure for a camera or other surveillance device includes a housing having separable upper and lower housing parts and a front end. A transparent window is rotatably mounted at the front end of the housing and is rotated at a high angular velocity for throwing off water or other matter by action of centrifugal force. Adjustable mounting means is located in the lower housing part for mounting a surveillance device at selected elevations for surveillance through the window.
