US Patent 12117717 Apparatus for a security camera

A security camera and assembly include a camera lens assembly, a lens tilt locking mechanism, and a grab handle having LEDs mounted thereon. Embodiments include a lens tilt locking mechanism coupled to the camera lens assembly for setting a field of view (FOV) for a camera lens of the camera lens assembly. The grab handle is pivotally coupled to the camera lens assembly via a pivoting mechanism. The grab handle having LEDs mounted thereon pivots to provide independent control of illumination to the FOV without shifting the FOV. In a further embodiment, the grab handle may further include an antenna embedded therein.
