Abstract
A mechanism to secure a closed circuit camera to a vehicle includes a securing mechanism and a locking system, wherein locking the locking system provides power to the camera, allowing it to communicate with a monitor within the vehicle to allow a driver to see the camera's transmissions. The communication includes a synchronization protocol, such as Bluetooth® SSP, that ensures the camera and monitor are communicating exclusively with one another, avoiding cross-talk or other interference from nearby systems. The securing mechanism can take the form of various clamping devices, magnets, suction devices or other appropriate means to secure the assembly to the vehicle.
