Abstract
A surface mountable camera (1000) includes a junction box (104) and clip (300) that provide for a plurality of selectable mounting positions, each accommodating a hanging camera position. The junction box (104) provides a four-sided interior compartment, wherein at least three side walls of the compartment each include a slot (112) and an anchor feature (114) corresponding to the slot. The clip (300) is configured to interchangeably insert onto any of the three side walls of the junction box. The clip (300) includes an access port (304) formed therein for engaging with the anchor feature (114) of the junction box (104), and the clip includes first and second engagement tabs (302) for engaging into the slot (112) of the junction box (104). Once the clip (300) is anchored to the junction box (104), a camera assembly (200) is pivotably mounted, via a hinged bracket (400), to the clip of the junction box.
