10 mins confidence:   surveillance camera
Explanation:
I think it would be best to use an explantion for 高所 such as "a surveillance camera mounted on top of the bridge." I feel 高所 is one of those Japanese words that needs to be translated on a case by case basis.

18 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +4 elevated (security/surveillance) camera
Explanation:
This is what I would use. Security or surveillance is optional, although I think it makes the description more precise. If you have the phrase more than once in your text, you may omit it after the first instance.
Some examples of use:

http://ccbike.org/articles/ballona-creek-bike-path-renovatio...
"Security will be enhanced, with additional lighting, a security call box, and an elevated security camera providing coverage for the path and the bridge."

"Representative of the prior art patents involving elevatable and/or remotely positioned elevated surveillance camera or observation or transmitting units are the devices of Richards U.S. Pat. Nos. ..."
