US Patent 11347138 Security camera system

A security device is configured to be secured to a structure to monitor an area of interest surrounding the structure. Monitoring of the area of interest is done covertly to ensure that the security device remains undetectable. The security device includes a head that is operably and removably coupled to a base. The head includes a camera having a lens that is configured to capture video data within the area of interest. The captured (or recorded) video data is transmitted to a storage device within the base for storage. For added security and/or functionally, a user can wirelessly control and monitor the security device via a user interface device from anywhere in the world.
