Abstract

A mobile security apparatus has a concrete base with a tall tower pole imbedded in the base. The concrete base is hollow and contains electronic equipment. The base and tower are towed horizontally on a trailer. The trailer has a slidable inner carriage. A push up ladder is connected to the tow vehicle with a pineal hitch on one end and connected to the tower pole by a pivot pin on the other end. When the brakes on the trailer are locked and the vehicle backed up, the base and tower pole are raised to the vertical, deployed position. An array of electronic security devices such as cameras and alarms are then attached to the top of the tower pole. An Ethernet connection at the top of the pole connects the security apparatus to the Internet. Highly mobile camouflaged security containers with motion, tilt and lifting sensors and a wireless link to the security tower can also be placed at strategic locations throughout the protected site.
