Abstract

A transportable surveillance system comprises a base configured to maintain the transportable surveillance system in an upright freestanding position and to substantially prevent movement of the base by hand. A camera is positioned above the base at a height sufficient to put the camera substantially out of reach of a person who may want to tamper with the camera. The camera is configured to obtain video data of objects in the vicinity of the surveillance system. Electronics equipment is configured to transmit the video data between the surveillance system and a remote monitoring location.
