    摘要: A deployable monitoring apparatus is provided comprising an ovate housing with a video capturing device and a spatial orientation device operably engaged therewith. The housing has a base and an opposed end disposed along an axis, with a center of gravity disposed about the base so as to be self-righting such that the opposed end extends substantially upwardly from the base. The video capturing device is configured to capture video data of a scene external to the housing, and the spatial orientation device is configured to associate a spatial orientation with the video data. The video data and spatial orientation can be transmitted by a transceiver module to a disposed remotely station, so as to provide a spatially-oriented remote visual depiction of the scene. The housing may also include other devices such as, for example, a deterrent device or a distraction device associated therewith. An associated method is also provided.

    摘要: A deployable monitoring apparatus is provided comprising an ovate housing and a video capturing device operably engaged therewith. The housing has a base and an opposed end disposed along an axis. The housing is further configured to have a center of gravity disposed about the base so as to be self-righting along the axis such that the opposed end extends substantially upwardly from the base. The video capturing device is operably engaged with the housing and is configured to capture video data of a scene external to the housing. In some instances, the video data of the scene may be transmitted by a transceiver module to a station disposed remotely from the scene, wherein the station is configured to process the video data so as to provide a remote visual depiction of the scene. The housing may also include other devices such as, for example, a light source, a motion sensor, an audio sensor, and a chemical sensor functioning independently of or in conjunction with the video capturing device. An associated method is also provided.

    摘要: A deployable monitoring device is provided comprising a self-righting housing and a video capturing device. The housing has a base and an opposed end disposed along an axis, with a center of gravity disposed about the base, and is self-righting along the axis. The housing, when righted, is supported by the base. The video capturing device captures video data of an external scene. At least one stabilizer device is operably engaged with the housing about the base. Each stabilizer device extends radially outward of the base and substantially axially along an outer surface thereof, and is configured to stop rotation of the housing about the axis before the housing is righted, following deployment of the housing. The video data can be transmitted by a transceiver module to a station remotely disposed from the housing, to provide a remote visual depiction of the scene. An associated method is also provided.
