A dynamically adjustable system for updating an angular orientation of a surveillance device of a moving vehicle is disclosed. The system comprises a surveillance device, a motor coupled to the surveillance device, a compass based angular sensor configured for detecting the orientation of a vehicle, and a controller. The controller calculates the updated angular orientation of the surveillance device and sends control signals to the motor. The motor rotates the surveillance device such that the surveillance device provides a driver of the vehicle with a key desired field of view. Pitch and roll sensors may also be employed by the system. When a turning event is detected, the controller dynamically changes the angles of the surveillance devices to provide the driver with a view of important roads within the intersection.
