ABSTRACT:
A surveillance apparatus for installation in such an open ended housing as the air vent structure of a motor vehicle has first and second supports, the first support carries the cover for the housing and is movable between a position in which the outer exposed end of the housing is closed into raised positions. The second support is within the first support and is movable relative thereto and carries a surveillance unit which includes a camera and lens assembly within the housing with the center line of the lens when the cover is closed in the plane of the outer end of the housing. Both supports are shown in the disclosed embodiment, as driven by a reversible drive in a manner such that the second support at all times travels one-half the distance which the first support travels. Desirably and as shown, the surveillance unit includes a pan and tilt assembly on which the camera and lens assembly is mounted. The motors of the surveillance unit and the motor of the reversible drive are remotely controlled.
