ABSTRACT:
A deployable monitoring apparatus is provided comprising an ovate housing with a video capturing device and a spatial orientation device operably engaged therewith. The housing has a base and an opposed end disposed along an axis, with a center of gravity disposed about the base so as to be self-righting such that the opposed end extends substantially upwardly from the base. The video capturing device is configured to capture video data of a scene external to the housing, and the spatial orientation device is configured to associate a spatial orientation with the video data. The video data and spatial orientation can be transmitted by a transceiver module to a disposed remotely station, so as to provide a spatially-oriented remote visual depiction of the scene. The housing may also include other devices such as, for example, a deterrent device or a distraction device associated therewith. An associated method is also provided.
