A miniaturepinhole camera (or spy-camera) is positioned/hidden in the tip of the carantenna and the pinholecamera is pointed in the forward direction of the vehicle. The miniature sizeof the pinhole cameramakes the camera position visually inconspicuous and thus ideal for adaptationto vehicle design orstealth/spying or surveillance applications. The use of the car antenna shaftas a vertical supportstructure for the camera makes the invention low cost, easily to integratewith vehicle design and idealfor adoption by the global automotive industry.
