Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a video monitoring device with one or more video cameras mounted to a pole that extends from a concrete base. The concrete base rests on a ground surface at a monitored site rather than being cast into the site as a permanent fixture. The surface of the concrete base that rests on the ground surface has one or more indentions that extend though a sidewall, which allows a forklift's forks to be positioned under the concrete base without moving the base. A housing mounted to the pole for the placement of electronic components is also disclosed, as well as electric components for the device when 120 Volt AC power is available at a monitored site. Further, specialized brackets to facilitate mounting the housing to the pole are also disclosed.
