Abstract:
The technical field of the invention generally concerns environmental recording apparatuses for photographing events occurring during a seismic event. The environmental recording apparatus includes a base securely fastened to a mounting surface. Disposed on the base is a seismic isolation structure. Secured on the seismic isolation structure is a camera mount which receives a camera. A motion sensing switch secured to the mounting surface activates the camera in response to a seismic acceleration which exceeds a preestablished threshold is secured to the base. An electrical signal cable connects the motion sensing switch to the camera to couple an electrical signal from the motion sensing switch to a camera during a seismic event. An inner and outer protective housings enclose the camera.
