1. A method of delivering electrodes, the method comprising:
capturing, by a camera system, image data of a target via an image sensor of the camera system;
determining, by the camera system, whether a predicted first location of impact of a first electrode to be launched by a conducted electrical weapon and a predicted second location of impact of a second electrode to be launched by the conducted electrical weapon correspond to suitable locations on a body of the target;
transmitting, by the camera system, a message via a communication circuit of the camera system to the conducted electrical weapon to enable launch of the first electrode and the second electrode when the predicted first location and the predicted second location correspond to the suitable locations;
transmitting, by the camera system, an instruction to adjust a trajectory of the second electrode when the predicted second location is determined to not correspond to a suitable location on the body of the target; and
launching, by the conducted electrical weapon, the first electrode and the second electrode in response to the message.
