19 Claims

1. A system comprising:

a first primary subsystem configured to be worn by a first officer at an incident, the first primary subsystem comprising a first video camera configured to be oriented by the first officer for recording the incident in a first field of view of the first officer, a first audio detector, a first pre-event buffer, a first rechargeable battery, a first user interface including a first user operated control, a first wired interface, a first processor, and a first memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the first processor, cause the first processor to perform first operations comprising:

prior to receiving a first signal from the first user operated control, capturing first video information from the first video camera into the first pre-event buffer for a first period of time before overwriting first information previously recorded in the first pre-event buffer; and

upon receiving the first signal:

capturing second video information about the incident from the first video camera;

capturing first audio information about the incident from the first audio detector; and

storing the second video information and the first audio information in the first memory;

a second primary subsystem configured to be worn by a second officer at the incident, the second primary subsystem comprising a second video camera configured to be oriented by the second officer for recording the incident in a second field of view of the second officer, a second audio detector, a second pre-event buffer, a second rechargeable battery, a second user interface including a second user operated control, a second wired interface, a second processor, and a second memory storing second instructions that, when executed by the second processor, cause the second processor to perform second operations comprising:

prior to receiving a second signal from the second user operated control, capturing third video information from the second video camera into the second pre-event buffer for a second period of time before overwriting second information previously recorded in the second pre-event buffer; and

upon receiving the second signal:

capturing fourth video information about the incident from the second video camera;

capturing second audio information about the incident from the second audio detector; and

storing the fourth video information and the second audio information in the second memory; and

a shift hub comprising docks, wherein the shift hub is configured to:

provide wired connection to the first primary subsystem and the second primary subsystem via the docks;

provide data transfer of:

the second video information and the first audio information from the first primary subsystem via the first wired interface; and

the fourth video information and the second audio information from the second primary subsystem via the second wired interface; and

recharge the first rechargeable battery and the second rechargeable battery.
