When public safety agencies need a mobile surveillance camera solution, they typically turn to a pole camera, bulky trailer or a drone to get the job done. The thing is, drones have short flight times and require frequent battery changes which costs seconds, while pole cameras have to be installed & expensive trailers have to be maintained. What's more, weather and flight conditions can also throw a wrench in critical surveillance coverage, leading to missed opportunities and a loss of vital intel. That's where The RATT telescopic tower comes into play. The RATT, formerly known as the Mobile Video Surveillance (MVS) System, is currently deployed by the U.S. Military, DOD, FBI, TSA, NASA and many other public safety agencies for diverse missions such as critical incidents, special events, mobile video surveillance, search & rescue operations, advanced security details, accident response, peacekeeping and many other applications beyond video. The unique all-terrain vehicle-mounted telescopic mast allows for a rapid deployment up to 50 in minutes by simply attaching The RATT to a standard Class III 2x2" hitch receiver on any vehicle, ATV, Gator, even down to a golf cart! The rapid-deployment RATT was developed for public safety agencies, the military, security use, or for any organization needing high-quality mobile video surveillance. One of the top features of The RATT is its mobility. It can quickly and easily be deployed in minutes, thus optimizing your detection ability, as well as providing a reduction of threats or even criminal deterrence. The RATT is unique in that it incorporates a patented, multi-angle, telescopic mast mount, which allows positioning the mast vertically at any location, including uneven or sloping terrain. Unlike a large trailer-mounted pole camera system, this more tactical tower can be used anywhere your vehicle can go! The RATT attaches to most vehicles with a 2" hitch receiver and pneumatically telescopes to 35'.
