Exterior all weather mobile video camera housing unit

What I claim as my invention is an exterior all weather mobile video camera housing unit.

• The primary function of this unit is to provide weather protection to a mobile video camera located inside the unit. The unit has a clear circular cover sufficient to allow a 180-degree view of the camera lens. This circular glass is stationary and is enclosed on each end to attach component parts, frame and structure. The glass is cleaned by four vertical wipe rubber blades attached to a turntable located on top of the unit, and powered by an electric motor, powered from the vehicle's accessory. The wipe blades maintain contact to the glass shield by spring load at all times and will operate intermittent or remain on when raining. A heat/defrost and spray cleaning fluid (water) comes from the vehicle accessory.
• This unit is installed on the top and to the front area of the vehicle, or other places. This unit can recess into the vehicle structure. The unit is made of glass, metal and rubber. When weather is not a factor, the unit is turned off. The video camera being outside the vehicle allows the video camera to project real time view of front and beyond the vehicle to a plasma screen located inside the vehicle and formatted to fit the ex-windshield area. The windshield is replaced by metal and padding. The video camera is equipped with filters and night vision capabilities. These features allow the driver to drive east-west, west-east with no blinding sun glare. The same applies to the night glare from headlights and other lights. If a GPS system is used, this vehicle will show its exact location via home TV, PC computer or telepicture phones.
• This unit is a deterrent to theft. It will have a security code to operate its video camera. Unauthorized drivers will be eliminated.
• Finally, an end to windshield replacement. The safety appliances make this a very safe vehicle, starting with the exterior video camera housing unit. More ideas are waiting to be discovered.
