The Spook Tech Mobile Ride Along Surveillance Partner (M.R.A.S.P) offers another crime fighting tool, enabling your agency or company to not only record the actions of the suspect, but to also capture the actions of your employees. Videotaped operations can and will be used as evidence to prosecute those individuals who violate the law. 
Normally, the camera, microphone, and VCR are placed in a single enclosure mounted on the ceiling of the bus. The VCR may also be placed under or near the driver's seat. Automatic recording when the ignition is turned on is popular. Additional RM-322 or user mode control heads allow the driver to initiate the recording manually. Since the cameras in these installations are looking at the passengers and the light source is more constant, electronic iris cameras can be used, but for quality performance auto iris lenses are preferred.
Mobile VCRs are designed to mount in police cars under the seats, behind the seats, or in the trunk (WARNING - certain patents restrict non-licensees from installing VCRs in vaults or in the trunks of police vehicles). These VCRs are usually controlled by the RM-322, user mode control head, or by using a circuit board such as the FR-9 board within the user mode control head. The lockbox has a cut out for a wireless microphone (such as Shure) for remote audio surveillance. The wireless transmitter is worn on the officer's lapel so that all conversations are recorded. The miniature B&W or Color camera is usually mounted on the dash or from the ceiling of the vehicle. Zoom auto-iris lens are most frequently used, but almost any lens configuration will work.
Since the cameras are used outside during day and night, electronic iris lenses are not recommended; mechanical auto iris cameras or lenses should be used. The trigger input of the VCR is normally connected to the lights or siren, and the VCR can be programmed to continue recording for several minutes after the siren (or lights) is turned off. This allows automatic recording of pursuits or side of the road interviews.
