Temporary surveillance system

A surveillance system comprising:

• a surveillance assembly, including a platform adapted to support surveillance equipment for providing observations of a surveillance site;
• a base having a weight sufficient to prevent manual displacement thereof, the base including a substantially concrete structure defining a enclosure sized to contain electronics equipment suitable for controlling the surveillance equipment;
• means for restricting access to the base enclosure;
• an adjustable support pole including an upper portion mounted to the surveillance assembly and a lower portion mounted to the base;
• means for functionally connecting the surveillance equipment to the electronics equipment contained in the base;
• a trailer assembly adapted to facilitate transport of the system to and from the surveillance site;
• and
• means for facilitating loading and unloading of the base to and from the trailer assembly.

A surveillance system comprising:

• a surveillance assembly, including a platform adapted to support surveillance equipment for providing observations of an area in a vicinity of the surveillance system;
• a base, including a substantially hollow enclosure sized and adapted to contain electronics equipment for controlling the surveillance equipment, the base comprises a substantially concrete structure having a weight sufficient to prevent the base from being manually displaced;
• a support pole having an upper portion mounted to the surveillance assembly and a lower portion mounted to the base, wherein the base and the support pole are sized and adapted to be supported by and transported on a vehicle trailer;
• means for functionally connecting the surveillance equipment to the electronics equipment contained in the base;
• a trailer assembly for facilitating transport of the system;
• and
• means for facilitating loading and unloading of the base to and from the trailer assembly.
