Hostage negotiation system

摘要

A hostage negotiation system including a throw module and a command unit connected by a communication cable. The throw module includes at least one covert video camera hidden from view. The covert video camera provides a video signal to the command unit showing the current conditions that exist in the immediate area surrounding the throw module. The throw module further includes a covert microphone hidden within the throw module that transmits an audio signal including the sounds occurring the immediate vicinity of the throw module. The command unit receives the covert audio and covert video signals from the throw module and outputs the signals to a video monitor or other display device. Alternatively, the throw module can include a plurality of covert video cameras to provide a nearly 360° view of the area surrounding the throw module. In a system having multiple covert video cameras, the command unit includes a camera selector that allows a law enforcement agent to select between the various camera views.
