Abstract
A camera system includes a camera, a drive system, and a processing circuit. The camera includes a lens and a sensor module that receives light and outputs images based on the received light. The drive system includes a track including a first member and a second member, the first member defining a first rail on an inner surface of the first member, the second member defining a second rail on an outer surface of the second member. The rails can be driven by gear or magnetic drive, and are connected in a cross pattern at a 45 degree latitude point, enabling pan and tilt movement to maintain a level image for multiple camera mounting orientations.
