Patent attributes
A surveillance system having two specialized surveillance cameras with corresponding specialized illuminators is provided in a dual compartment container that eliminates internal light reflection problems by separating each camera and corresponding illuminator while combining each camera with an alternate illuminator, rendering the system more accurate, yet more compact and suited to unobtrusive placement. Considerable heat is generated by the specialized illuminators, requiring a heat sink to preserve illuminator life expectancy and to prevent the adjacent cameras from being adversely affected by the heat. Another feature enabling the system to work in its compact form despite the heat from the illuminators is that the protective case itself is adapted to be a heat sink for the illuminators.
