Claims12
A monitoring camera arrangement for a surveillance camera, comprising:
- at least one setting axis to set a monitoring region by pivoting about the setting axis, the setting axis being non-vertical after mounting the surveillance camera, and
- at least two tilt detectors to detect and signal tilt variations in monitoring region, the at least two tilt detectors detecting at least mutually nonparallel tilts
- wherein the setting axis is arranged such that, after mounting the surveillance camera on a level surface, the setting axis is not normal to a bearing plane thereof, at least two tilt detectors signal a variation in the horizontal monitoring region indication tampering of the surveillance camera in response to the detected tilt variations.
