Controllable camera support and system

A camera system comprising:

• a pivoting arm adapted to be rotatably connected to a pivot point defining a first rotational axis, said pivoting arm defining a radial axis;
• a camera holder mounted on said pivoting arm, said camera holder being displaceable along said radial axis;
• a focal adjustable, rotational, tilting camera mounted on said camera holder, said camera defining a second rotational axis parallel to said first rotational axis about which said camera may rotate by means of a camera rotation motor, said camera defining a third rotational axis perpendicular to said first rotational axis about which said camera may tilt by means of a camera tilting motor, said camera including a focal adjustment mechanism, said camera focusing on a target;
• motor means coupled to said pivoting arm and to said camera holder, said motor means adapted to impart rotational and radial motions to said camera holder;
• and
• control means for controlling said motor means, said camera rotation motor, said camera tilting motor, and said focal adjustment mechanism;
• wherein when the target focused by the camera becomes obstructed by an obstruction, said control means is adapted to move said camera to another position all the while focusing on said target, whereby as said camera moves, said target is always focused by said camera so that said camera can be moved to another position where the obstruction does not obstruct said camera.
