1. A system, comprising:

  • a camera;

    a firearm;

    a holster for receiving the firearm; and

    two or more telematics sensor devices, the two or more telematics sensor devices comprising;

    a holster telematics sensor device mounted on the holster, the holster telematics sensor device having a first processor, a first sensor, a first communication module for receiving and sending signals over a wireless network, and a first storage component and configured for detecting an unholstering event, wherein the holster telematics sensor device is self-contained; and

    a firearm telematics sensor device attached to the firearm, the firearm telematics sensor device having a second processor, a second sensor, a second communication module for receiving and sending signals over a wireless network, and a second storage component and configured for detecting a firearm-discharge event, wherein the firearm telematics sensor device is self-contained;

    wherein the firearm telematics sensor device stores a first rule set for determining an event category for each of one or more events sensed by the firearm telematics sensor device, and a second rule set for defining behaviors of the camera and the firearm telematics sensor device or the holster telematics sensor device, the second processor configured to execute the first and second rule sets, and further to save metadata to the second storage component, wherein the metadata comprise respective determined event categories for each event sensed by the firearm telematics sensor device, wherein each such sensed event is one of the one or more events sensed by the firearm telematics sensor device;

    wherein the camera, the firearm telematics sensor device, and the holster telematics sensor device are in communication via a personal area network, and wherein the camera is configured to change status following receipt of a signal received by the camera from the firearm telematics sensor device, said signal transmitted responsive to determination that an event of a first event category has been detected.
