A portable transport system for containing and transporting monitoring system components comprises a case for enclosing the monitoring system components. A collapsible monitoring component assembly telescopes between a collapsed position wherein the collapsible monitoring component assembly is substantially contained within the case and an open position. The collapsible monitoring component assembly includes a component bracket mounting handle for interfacing the monitoring system components with the collapsible monitoring component assembly. The component bracket mounting handle moves the monitoring system components between a raised position and a lowered position. The collapsible monitoring component assembly is contained substantially within the case in the collapsed position.
