Zusammenfassung:	A rotatable video surveillance system is configured with a drive mechanism that rotates a bracket for a camera up to 360 degrees. The drive mechanism comprises a plurality of gears that rotate a camera back and forth up to at least 180 degrees. The drive mechanism comprises a control arm connecting between the first gear and a second gear, and a third output gear connected to a rotatable bracket. The drive mechanism typically rotates the bracket at a non-linear speed. A switch may be connected to produce back and forth rotation or pause. An electronic control can be used to control the speed of said drive mechanism and/or pan angle and pause. The rotatable surveillance camera covers at least up to 180 degrees. At night, a camera may see 10 to 30 feet, but with a spotlight the camera may see 300′ to 600′. Doppler radar range is about 1 mile.
