Abstract
A surveillance system for monitoring activity within at least the cabin portion of the aircraft in order to alert the flight crew within the cockpit of any emergency activity including, but not limited to, highjacking or terrorist activity. A video controller assembly is interconnected between a viewing assembly and a display assembly so as to distribute image data there between. The viewing assembly includes one or more cameras disposed to selectively capture images throughout the aircraft cabin interior and deliver the captured image data to the display assembly observable by the flight crew. Activation of the system is accomplished by controlled operation of one or more portable, wireless transmitters and at least one receiver which is operationally connected to the viewing assembly and the display assembly.
