-4-IPage Date Recue/Date Received 2022-09-06 Mobile Video Mast Description General Character:
This invention relates generally to the assembly of Equipment onto purpose-built Apparatuses for the containment and operation of Commercial-off-the-Shelf IP
Cameras.
Specifically, the invention relates to assembling Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Pipe, PVC
Junction Boxes and PVC Enclosures into a Secure Vessel for the containment and operation of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Video Equipment and the storing and transmitting of video signals for live and recorded video evidence gathering thereof known as a Video Management System (VMS).
The Mobile Video System (MVS) can be installed in a fixed location for continuous daily use or is also designed to be easily disassembled into sub-sections and re-assembled requiring only hand tools for portable use at multiple locations/events.
Nature:
Video Management Systems (VMS) also known as Closed circuit television (CCTV) systems, historically are installed at a premise for security purposes to allow for live viewing and recording of criminal or inappropriate activity at that premise, such as break-ins, internal theft or robbery event. Cameras are installed inside a premise or at an outdoor location by installing Equipment onto Fixed Structures (Interior Walls, Exterior Walls, Hydro Poles, Lamp Poles, Rooftops) using a ladder, Boom Truck or similar elevating device.
If the location is remote, sourcing power, communications and the actual attaching structure can be difficult, inflexible, if not impossible, becoming cost prohibitive. In addition, the fixed location cameras are typically installed with methods designed not to be able to be easily moved without specialized labour and specialized tools.
Examples include but are not limited to; buildings, construction sites, civic events, temporary venues, large parking lots, highways and bridges.

Before any embodiments of the invention are explained in detail, it is to be noted and understood that the invention is capable of other embodiments not described specifically herein and can be implemented in various ways and therefore not specifically describing the embodiment should not be regarded as limiting. In addition, it should be understood that embodiments of the invention include hardware, software and electrical components or modules that, for purposes of discussion, may be illustrated. However, one of ordinary skill in the art, and based on a reading of this detailed description, would recognize that, in one or more embodiment described, the electronic and software aspects of the invention may be implemented which is not part of the invention but is a required component to be operational as described.
As such, it should be noted that a plurality of hardware and software-based devices, as well as a plurality of different structural components may be utilized to implement the invention.
Embodiments of the Invention provide for a Mobile Video Mast (MVM) that can be deployed at any location with ease and minimal setup. The MVS is lightweight and can be shipped using common carriers and assembled on site with simple hand tools.
Due to the physical footprint of the base of each Apparatus being approximately only one square foot of floor space they can easily be placed within the premise or venue without obstruction of people and/or vehicles.
