The invention is an assembly comprising a car antenna and a pinhole camera where said pinhole camera is positioned in the tip of said car antenna, and said camera transmits live video to a display device inside the vehicle for live viewing by the driver and/or passenger(s). The antenna/camera assembly is mounted to the roof of a car, and in all respects resembles an inconspicuous car antenna. A miniature pinhole camera (or spy-camera) is positioned/hidden in the tip of the car antenna and the pinhole camera is pointed in the forward direction of the vehicle. The miniature size of the pinhole camera makes the camera position visually inconspicuous and thus ideal for adaptation to vehicle design or stealth/spying or surveillance applications. The use of the car antenna shaft as a vertical support structure for the camera makes the invention low cost, easily to integrate with vehicle design and ideal for adoption by the global automotive industry.
