Abstract
A camera security system including a camera housing having a camera therein, a bracket assembly and at least one non-standard fastener. The bracket assembly has at least two bracket members including a first bracket member configured to be securely connected to a second bracket member, with the bracket assembly securely receiving the camera housing therein such that the camera is exposed, but the camera cannot be removed from the bracket. The at least one non-standard fastener connects the first bracket member to the second bracket member. The first bracket member can be disconnected from the second bracket member by removing the at least one non-standard fastener to thereby allow the camera to be removed from the bracket assembly.

A camera security system comprising:
- a camera housing having a camera therein;
- a bracket assembly having at least two bracket members including a first bracket member configured to be securely connected to a second bracket member, the bracket assembly securely capturing the camera housing therein with the camera being exposed, but the camera cannot be removed from the bracket assembly;
- at least one non-standard fastener connecting the first bracket member to the second bracket member;
- wherein the first bracket member can be disconnected from the second bracket member by removing the at least one non-standard fastener to thereby allow the camera to be removed from the bracket assembly;
- and
- wherein the camera housing cannot be removed from the bracket assembly until the first bracket member is disconnected from the second bracket member.
A method of securely mounting a camera housing having a camera to a support comprising:
- providing a bracket assembly having at least two bracket members including a first bracket member configured to be securely connected to a second bracket member;
- securing the first bracket member to the support;
