The apparatus includes a fixed jaw, a slideable jaw, and a main fastener. The fixed jaw includes a mounting plate, a first head, a third lateral wall, a main slot, and a main interconnecting hole. The slideable jaw includes a height-adjustable plate, a second head, a plurality of interconnecting holes, and at least one locking hole. The first head and the second head clamp around a camera. The mounting plate allows the apparatus to be mounted with tree trunk, a pole, a wall, and so on. The height-adjustable plate is slidable across the mounting plate with the third lateral wall and the main slot. The main interconnecting hole and the at least one locking hole allows a desired distance between the first head and the second head with the main fastener. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A universal security box for surveillance equipment comprises: a fixed jaw;
