Abstract

A camera system includes a camera module that can be rapidly aligned with a predetermined field of view. In one embodiment, the camera module includes a faceplate that is matable to a mounting bracket so as to place the camera module in a fixed position relative to the mounting bracket. A mounting rail is securable to the face plate, such as perpendicularly. A base plate, to which the camera can be affixed, is engagable to the mounting plate such that that the camera is movable about yaw and pitch axes with respect to the mounting plate. The base plate position can be adjusted by a plurality of screws that impinge upon the mounting plate until the camera optical axis is aligned with the longitudinal axis of the module.
