System and a method for a smart surveillance system

A surveillance system comprising:

• a first radiation sensor;
• a second radiation sensor, said first and second radiation sensors being positionally fixed;
• and
• at least one radiation reflecting member configured to provide a selectively varying field of view to said first sensor and said second sensor.

A system for varying a field of view to a plurality of radiation sensors, comprising:

• a rotatable radiation reflective member;
• a first radiation sensor;
• a second radiation sensor;
• and
• a selectively reflective member disposed between said rotatable radiation reflective member and said first radiation sensor;
• wherein said selectively reflective surface is configured to selectively reflect a portion of an incident radiation to said second radiation sensor while passing a portion of said incident radiation though to said first sensor.

A surveillance system comprising:

• a first radiation sensor;
• a second radiation sensor, said first and second radiation sensors being positionally fixed;
• a first radiation reflecting member configured to provide up to a 360-degree field of coverage to said first sensor;
• and
• a retractable “L” shaped reflecting member configured to provide a selectively varying field of view to said second sensor.

A surveillance vehicle comprising:

• a telescoping base coupled to said surveillance vehicle;
• a Stewart platform coupled to said telescoping base, said Stewart platform including a base, a movable top platform, and a plurality of linear actuators movably coupling said top platforms to said base in a cubic configuration;
• and
• a radiation surveillance sensor system including a radiation responsive sensor, a radiation reflective member for selectively adjusting the incident radiation path to said sensor, and a power means for controlling the position of said reflective member to achieve selectable view locations of said sensor.

A method of achieving a pan control in a single axis surveillance apparatus comprising:

• positionally fixing a radiation sensor;
• and
• manipulating a reflective material to reflect light spectrum to said radiation sensor;
• wherein said reflective material manipulation modifies a field of view for said radiation sensor.

A method of achieving a pan and tilt control in a single axis surveillance apparatus comprising:

• positionally fixing a radiation sensor;
• coupling a dual axis motor to a reflective material adjacent to said radiation sensor;
• wherein a first axis of said dual access motor varies a field of view of said sensor;
• and
• wherein a second axis of said dual access motor varies a tilt angle view of said sensor.

A method for selectively controlling deflection of radiation from a field comprising:

• fixedly positioning a radiation sensor for receiving radiation from a field to be observed,
• movably positioning a mirror-like surface for selectively reflecting radiation from the field to be observed towards the sensor, wherein said mirror-like surface includes a plurality of reflective surfaces;
• and
• pivoting said mirror like surface to alternate between said plurality of reflective surfaces, each reflective surface providing a different field of view to said radiation sensor.
