Abstract

Security and tracking systems disclosed herein include a server coupled with a database, a computing device coupled with the database and including a display, and a wearable recording device (device) configured to record audio and video, the device having an identifier associated with the user through the database. One or more user interfaces are displayed on the display and include one or more inputs configured to associate the identifier with the user through the database. The wearable recording device may be an earring. Some security and tracking systems include a tracking device (tracker) having at least one sharp end, the tracker configured to be insertable into a hem or fold of a clothing item, the tracker having an identifier associated with the user through the database using inputs on one or more user interfaces displayed on the display, the tracker including a visual display of the identifier.

Claims

1. A security and tracking system (system), comprising:

a server communicatively coupled with a database;

a computing device communicatively coupled with the database through a telecommunication network, the computing device comprising a display;

a tracking device (tracker), the tracker configured to be insertable into one of a hem and a fold of a clothing item, the tracker having a tracker identifier associated with a user through the database;

a wearable recording device configured to record audio and video, the wearable recording device having a wearable recording device identifier associated with the user through the database, and;

one or more user interfaces displayed on the display, the one or more user interfaces comprising one or more inputs configured to associate the tracker identifier with the user through the database and to associate the wearable recording device identifier with the user through the database.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the tracker comprises a passive identification tag.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the wearable recording device comprises a power switch.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the wearable recording device comprises an electrical connector configured to transfer recorded audio and video to a second computing device.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the wearable recording device comprises an earring.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the tracker comprises a visual display of the tracker identifier.

7. The system of claim 1, further comprising an adapter comprising a first electrical connector configured to physically and electrically couple with an electrical connector of the wearable recording device, the adapter also comprising a second electrical connector configured to physically and electrically couple with a second computing device to allow downloading of recorded audio and video from the wearable recording device to the second computing device.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the tracker identifier and the wearable recording device identifier are identical.
