ABSTRACT:
An interface system for use in a motor vehicle to be converted to a police or emergency vehicle includes a switch panel array operating an array of relays which in turn controls a lamp unit such as a conventional light bar. A video camera and VCR are mutually coupled to a VCR control which in turn responds to a control logic to provide automatic operation of the VCR during events. A canine alert system includes temperature sensing and engine electrical system sensing and responds to an air conditioning failure or engine stall condition to produce a transmitted alert signal using a pager or beeper or the like. A power management system monitors the operating supply voltage of the vehicle and sequentially shuts down the emergency light apparatus as the battery voltage decreases. A back-up light and brake light kill responds to a panel control switch for interrupting the activity of brake lights and back-up lights.
