1. A method for controlling a video recorder, which is configured to be worn on a person, of a primary subsystem, the primary subsystem includes a memory and a processor that detects operation of a first user-operated control and of a second user-operated control, which is physically apart from the video recorder, and the processor performs the method to accomplish pre-recording and event recording by the video recorder at a location of an event, the method comprising:
- if pre-recording;
in response to detecting operation of the first user-operated control;
discontinuing receiving pre-recording video information to the memory;
saving the pre-recording video information stored in the memory; and
beginning event recording by saving event video information to the memory; and
in response to detecting operation of the second user-operated control, discontinuing capturing of the pre-recording video information;
if event recording;
in response to detecting operation of the first user-operated control;
discontinuing receiving the event video information to the memory; and
beginning receiving the pre-recording video information to the memory;
in response to detecting operation of the second user-operated control, discontinuing saving the event video information to the memory; and
if event recording is discontinued;
in response to detecting operation of the second user-operated control, continuing pre-recording by receiving the pre-recording video information to the memory; and
in response to detecting operation of the first user-operated control, beginning event recording by saving the event video information to the memory.

8. A system for controlling a video recorder of a primary subsystem to accomplish pre-recording and event recording at a location of an event, the system comprising:
-
the video recorder configured to be worn on a person at the location of the event; a memory comprising a first portion for capturing pre-recording video information while pre-recording and a second portion for storing event video information during event recording, wherein the pre-recording video information captured in the first portion of the memory is continuously overwritten with new video information at a predetermined interval; a processor; a battery worn on the person to power the processor; a first user-operated control worn on the person; and a second user-operated control worn on the person and physically apart from the video recorder;
wherein the processor is programmed to perform steps;if pre-recording; in response to detecting operation of the first user-operated control, the processor; discontinues pre-recording; stores the pre-recording video information outside of the first portion of the memory before it is overwritten at the predetermined interval; and begins event recording by storing event video information in the second portion of the memory; and in response to detecting operation of the second user-operated control, the processor, discontinues pre-recording; if event recording; in response to detecting operation of the first user-operated control, the processor; discontinues event recording; and begins pre-recording; and in response to detecting operation of the second user-operated control, the processor discontinues event recording; and if event recording is discontinued; in response to detecting operation of the second user-operated control, the processor continues pre-recording; and in response to detecting operation of the first user-operated control, the processor begins event recording. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A body-worn camera system to accomplish pre-recording and event recording at a location of an event, the system comprising:
-
a computer processor; a video recorder configured to be worn on a person at the location of the event; a battery worn on the person, configured to supply electricity to the computer processor; a first user-operated control worn on the person; a second user-operated control worn on the person and physically apart from the video recorder; and a memory comprising a pre-event circular buffer for storing pre-recording video information while pre-recording and a second portion for storing event video information during event recording, wherein the pre-event circular buffer is overwritten with new pre-recording video information once it is full, the memory further storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the computer processor to; if pre-recording; in response to detecting operation of the first user-operated control; discontinue pre-recording; store the pre-recording video information in the memory outside of the pre-event circular buffer before it is overwritten; and begin event recording by storing event video information in the second portion of the memory; and in response to detecting operation of the second user-operated control, discontinue pre-recording; if event recording; in response to detecting operation of the first user-operated control; discontinue event recording; and begin pre-recording; and in response to detecting operation of the second user-operated control, discontinue event recording; and if event recording is discontinued; in response to detecting operation of the second user-operated control, continue pre-recording; and in response to detecting operation of the first user-operated control, begin event recording. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
