Abstract
A wiring harness for a portable point-of-view camera includes a power cord, a recording cord and a camera cord. These three cords are mutually interconnected and can be respectively joined with a power source, a recording device, and a camera. A microphone is integrated into the camera cord. The wiring harness can be used to transmit video and audio signals from the camera and microphone to the recording device with a substantially reduced number of wiring connections.
