Abstract: A disaster damage camera and recording system is disclosed. The system may be used to provide evidence for insurance claims, as well as other purposes. The system includes a camera for daylight, low light, dark, and night conditions. Video images from the camera is recorded on a digital video recording medium. The system contains sufficient storage for at least 24 hours of video and sufficient battery power for at least 24 hours of operation.

Abstract: A storm damage monitoring system, including: a low-lux video camera, a digital video recording device, and a power storage container, disposed on a guided slide. Further included is a sealable housing that includes an optical window on one side and a sealing cap disposable on an opposite side, the sealing cap removable to receive the guided slide inside the housing. The optical window and the camera are positioned and arranged for the camera to capture images through the optical window when the guided slide is received by the housing. Further included is a mounting plate, a first and a second anchoring strap, a first and a second U-bolt for securing the sealable housing to the mounting plate, a stabilizer chain, and a location tracking device disposed in the housing. The camera and digital video recording device are configured to run autonomously upon sealing inside the housing.

Abstract: A storm damage video monitoring system including: means for capturing images in near zero lux light conditions; means for remotely powering the imaging system components; means for digitally recording the captured images, means for storing the recorded images onto portable digital storage media, a means for monitoring the captured images, the means for monitoring being capable of aiming and adjustment; water proof and surge proof secure mounting means, means for adjusting the mounting of the system, water proof and wind proof means for encasing the imaging system components; and means for tracking for remote location of the system.
