A surveillance camera assembly housing is releasably locked to a base for the housing. The base is installed on a ceiling or at another location remote from ground level. A removal tool head, in the form of a hollow cylinder, is provided at the end of a pole. Slots formed in the tool head engage ridges on the camera assembly housing. The assembly housing is twisted to release it from the base and then is brought to ground level while contained within the tool head.
