A counterweight hinged pole which allows easy access to the CCTV camera attached at the top of the pole to be accessed. Hinged pole consists of a support base, and middle support pole which is attached to the base, and which has a hinge located at the end opposite the base. A top pole to which the CCTV Camera are attached is affixed to the hinge. A second bottom member is also attached to the hinge and is an extension of the toppole in the opposite direction. A rope attached to the top of the CCTV Camera pole enables a worker to lower the pole fixtures by applying tension to the rope. The top of the pole rotates in adownward arc around the hinge. The mid-hinged CCTV camera pole consists of a sturdy cylindricalpole structure made from high-quality materials such as aluminium or galvanized steel. It typicallyranges in height from 6 to 12 meters, although custom heights can be accommodated based on specific requirements. The pole is designed to be mounted securely onto a foundation, ensuring stability and resistance to strong winds or adverseweather conditions. The key feature of the mid- hinged CCTV camera pole is its hinged mechanism located at the midpoint of the pole. This mechanism allows the pole to be easily lowered to ground level for maintenance and camera servicing purposes. When maintenance is required, a simple unlocking mechanism enables the pole to be lowered safely and efficiently, eliminating the need for ladders, scaffolding, or specialized equipment. This feature greatly simplifies the installation, maintenance, and repair processes, resulting in cost savings and reduced downtime. The mid-hinged design also provides enhanced safety and security features. By allowing the pole to be lowered, the risk of accidents or injuries during maintenance tasks is significantly reduced. Additionally, the hinged mechanism can be equipped with locking mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access and tampering with the camera equipment, further enhancing the securityof the system.
