Abstract
A system using a vehicle and a camera for effecting substantially undetected surveillance of a preselected target area includes a vehicle modified so that a wall portion thereof includes an opening simulated to appear as a side clearance light of the vehicle with the camera positioned internally of the vehicle, such as in the trunk, for viewing outwardly through the opening. A novel camera-mount assembly is disclosed for enabling the camera to be selectively panned and tilted and includes a support for holding the camera mounted above a base which may be positioned upon a surface such as the floor of the trunk. A first pivot mechanism is mounted on the base operable for selectively pivoting the support, relative to the base, about a substantially vertical, first pivot axis thereby to pan the camera. A second pivot mechanism interconnecting the base and the support is operable for selectively pivoting the support about a substantially horizontal, second pivot axis thereby to tilt the camera.
