A camera adjustment mechanism (10) allows a user to adjust the orientation of a surveillance camera (58). The camera adjustment mechanism includes a first portion (14) and a second portion (16). The first portion (14) includes a first end (18), a second end (20), and a first wall (22) that.extends between and connects the first end (18) and the second end (20). The first wall (22) is sloped such that an inner diameter of the first end (18) is greater than an inner diameter of the second end (20). The second portion (16) includes a third end (26) connected to the second end (20), a fourth end (28), a second wall (30) extending between and connecting the third end (26) and the fourth end (28), and a plurality of engagement openings (32) extending circumferentially about the fourth end (28).
