Vehicle for deploying a mobile surveillance module
First Claim
1. A vehicle for deploying a surveillance module, comprising:
- a first portion configured to accommodate a user to operate the vehicle;
a second portion comprising;
a module is an enclosed housing configured to accommodate the user and comprising a roof and an entrance accessible through an interior of the vehicle from the first portion; and
a lifting mechanism coupled to the module and operable to move the module vertically from a retracted position to an extended position; and
a third portion defining an opening to accommodate the module, wherein the roof of the module couples to a periphery of the opening in the retracted position and the module is completely above the opening in the extended position.
