Abstract

A modular tactical surveillance and monitoring assembly comprises a plurality of independent and interchangeable electronic surveillance modules. Each module comprising an elongated exterior housing with opposite ends operatively interconnected to respective adjacent modules to form a substantially linear pole-shaped surveillance structure. The surveillance structure has a head end and foot end. A power control and communication module is incorporated in the pole-shaped surveillance structure between its head and foot ends, and is adapted for receiving a power supply and directing the power supply to each of the operatively connected surveillance modules.

Claims

6. The tactical surveillance and monitoring assembly according to claim 1, wherein said power control and communication module comprises a power-over-ethernet (PoE) splitter for splitting data and power to interconnected surveillance modules.

7. The tactical surveillance and monitoring assembly according to claim 1, wherein said power control and communication module comprises and a distribution board for managing the distribution of power and control lines between adjacent connecting modules.

8. The tactical surveillance and monitoring assembly according to claim 1, wherein said plurality of surveillance modules are linearly aligned in substantially exact registration.

9. The tactical surveillance and monitoring assembly according to claim 1, wherein each of said surveillance modules comprises a distribution board.

10. The tactical surveillance and monitoring assembly according to claim 1, wherein each of said surveillance modules comprises at least one data line for transmitting data via Ethernet from and between said modules.

11. The tactical surveillance and monitoring assembly according to claim 1, and comprising a camera module located at the head end of said surveillance structure.

12. The tactical surveillance and monitoring assembly according to claim 11, and comprising a slip ring module adjacent and operatively connected to said camera module.

13. The tactical surveillance and monitoring assembly according to claim 1, and comprising a battery module operatively interconnected between the head and foot ends of said surveillance structure.

14. The tactical surveillance and monitoring assembly according to claim 13, wherein said battery module comprises a distribution board.

15. The tactical surveillance and monitoring assembly according to claim 1, and comprising an infrared module operatively interconnected between the head and foot ends of said surveillance structure.
