A surveillance system wherein a miniature television surveillance camera and a RF video transmitter are invisibly mounted in a mannequin so that the television surveillance camera transmits signals to the RF video transmitter which converts the received signals and transmits RF video signals to a television monitor at a remote location. A power source, such as a 6 volt or 12 volt battery is also invisibly mounted in the manequin so that each mannequin is an independent and self-contained RF video transmitting station. Mannequins are positioned in selected areas of an establishment so that each lens portion has a desired field of view. In the preferred embodiments the lens portion comprises at least a portion of the iris and pupil of at least one eye of the mannequin.
