1. A video recording authentication system for redundantly storing event related video data, the video recording authentication system comprising:
one or more cameras configured to continuously record video data, wherein each of the one or more cameras includes an internal storage medium using a circular storage buffer for storing the video data;
at least one sensor; and
a video recording manager device communicatively coupled to the one or more cameras and the at least one sensor, the video recording manager device configured to transmit a triggering event signal to the one or more cameras based on a triggering event indication received from the at least one sensor, the video recording manager device comprising:
a first storage medium storing triggering event related video data received from the one or more cameras, the triggering event related video data including at least a portion of the video data stored in the circular storage buffer recorded prior to receiving the triggering event indication and authentication metadata associated with the triggering event indication for authenticating the triggering event related video data;
a second storage medium storing an additional copy of the triggering event related video data received from the one or more cameras, wherein the second storage medium is removable from the video recording manager device; and
a wireless first transceiver configured to transmit the triggering event related video data including the authentication metadata over a wireless network to a cloud-based storage system,
wherein the one or more cameras comprise a body-mounted camera mounted on a law enforcement officer, the body-mounted camera comprising a second wireless transceiver for communicating with the video recording manager device.
