Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
[0001] The present invention refers to, in general, a protection case for telecameras. [0002] More in particular, the invention regards a connection mode for telecameras usable for video monitoring (or CCTV, "closed circuit TV"). [0003] It is known that video monitoring installations, usually used for the control of building premises and the outdoor surroundings thereof, as well as for the control of industrial processes, use at least one telecamera, capable of filming the wanted area, so as to allow for its remote visualisation and/or registration, possibly on behalf of an operator. [0004] Video monitoring telecameras normally require an external protection case against vandalism, dust and/or atmospheric agents, usually equipped with a transparent element for shooting and cable ducts for the passage of all necessary cables. [0005] Until a few years ago, video monitoring was carried out by means of telecameras that outputted an analogue video signal; such video signal was channelled, from the observation point where the telecamera was located, through an appropriate coaxial cable connected to the rear couplings of the telecamera, to other peripherals for the visualisation, registration and/or management of the monitoring installation. [0006] Moreover, in the last couple of years, so-called "network cameras" or "IP cameras" or, in other words, telecameras, have been available to the video monitoring market (CCTV), at the output of which there is no analogue video signal connection but an Ethernet-type network connection, which allow for a digital-format transmission of the video signal through a computer network. [0007] When installing an IP telecamera, the problem of the network cable connection therefore occurs. [0008] In fact, such cable is equipped with a connector, typical of Ethernet network connections, whose dimensions are excessive to be inserted through the cable duct normally provided with telecamera protection cases. [0009] Moreover, if one tries to replace the cable duct with a larger size model, so as to insert the Ethernet connector, the cable duct's size turns out to be no longer capable of clamping hard enough the cable, therefore allowing for possible water and dust infiltrations inside the case. [0010] The installer is therefore forced to insert the cable, without the Ethernet connector, through the cable duct, and to then wire the connector from the inside of the protection case. [0011] Such uncomfortable operation is usually carried out with the case installed, in spots often difficult to reach and under conditions of precarious balance and scarce safety. [0012] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks and, in particular, to make a protection case for telecameras, which allows for having an easily installable, convenient and safe Ethernet-type network connection. [0013] Another object of the invention is to make a protection case for telecameras, which allows for quickly fixing the Ethernet-type network connector. [0014] A further object of the invention is to make a protection case for telecameras, adapted to Ethernet connections, which turns out to be extremely reliable and of easy and cost-efficient manufacture. [0015] These and other objects, according to the present invention, are achieved by making a protection case for telecameras, according to accompanying claim 1. [0016] Other detail characteristics are described in the following claims. [0017] Further characteristics and advantages of a protection case for telecameras, according to the present invention, will become more evident from the following description of an exemplifying and preferred, but not limiting, embodiment of the invention, and from the accompanying drawings, in which: [0018] FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a possible embodiment of a protection case for telecameras, equipped with an Ethernet connector, according to the present invention; [0019] FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the protection case for telecameras of FIG. 1, equipped with an Ethernet connector and closing cap, according to the present invention; [0020] FIG. 3 is a rear-front view of the protection case for telecameras of FIG. 1, according to the present invention; [0021] FIG. 4 is a rear-front view of the protection case for telecameras of FIG. 2, according to the present invention; [0022] FIG. 5 shows an enlarged detail of the protection case for telecameras of FIG. 1, according to the present invention; [0023] FIG. 6 shows an enlarged detail of the protection case for telecameras of FIG. 2, according to the present invention. [0024] Referring to the figures mentioned, 10 generically indicates a protection case for telecameras which, according to a typical and exemplifying, but not limiting, embodiment comprises a central body 11, of tubular shape and normally made of an aluminium extrusion, a front terminal portion 12, equipped with a transparent element (not visible in the accompanying figures), placed at the lens of the telecamera, and a rear terminal portion 13, usually equipped with couplings for the connection of electrical and/or network connection cables 15.
