Video camera and remote recording system
First Claim
1. A system for recording audio and video, said system comprising:
- at least one video camera device, each said camera device comprising a subsystem for capturing at least video data, a storage device upon which at least said video data is stored, a wireless interface for communicating with at least one further recording device, an internal clock for recording at least a time at which said video data was recorded, and a connecting port enabling connection to a remote-control device; and
at least one said further recording device, each said further recording device comprising at least one microphone for capturing audio information, a storage device upon which corresponding audio data is recorded, a wireless interface for communicating with said video camera device, an internal clock for recording at least a time at which said audio data was recorded, and a connection port enabling connection to said video camera device.

Abstract
A system for recording audio and video comprises at least one video camera device (100), each camera device comprising a subsystem for capturing (112) at least video data, a storage device (107) upon which at least the video data is stored, a wireless interface (108) for communicating with at least one further recording device (200), an internal clock(106) for recording at least a time at which the video data was recorded, and a connecting port (108, 110) enabling connection to a remote-control device (eg. 200). The system also has at least one of the further recording devices (200), each comprising a microphone (215) for capturing audio information and a storage device upon which corresponding audio data is recorded, a wireless interface (208) for communicating with the video camera device, an internal clock (206) for recording at least a time at which the audio data was recorded, and a connection port (208,210) enabling connection to the video camera device.

4. A system for recording audio and video data, said system comprising:
-
a video camera device comprising a subsystem for capturing at least video data, a storage device upon which at least said video data is stored, a wireless interface for communicating with at least one remote controller, and an internal clock for recording at least a time at which said video data was recorded; and
at least one said remote controller, each said remote controller comprising at least one microphone for capturing audio data, a storage device upon which said audio data is stored, a wireless interface for communicating with said video camera device, and an internal clock for recording at least a time at which said audio data was recorded, wherein said remote controller transmits reproduced audio data to said video camera device, and makes said video camera device record said reproduced audio data relating to said video data in accordance with each said internal clock of said remote controller and said video camera device.

5. A method for recording audio and video, said method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) physically connecting an audio device having an internal clock to a video device having a complementary internal clock, thereby synchronizing and associating the two devices;
(b) physically disconnecting the devices;
(c) instructing the audio device to record audio data that contains or is at least associated with a current time presented by the internal clock on the audio device, thereby causing the audio device to commence recording;
(d) instructing the video device to record video data that contains or is at least associated with a current time presented by the internal clock on the video device, thereby causing the video device to commence recording;
(e) instructing the audio device to stop recording;
(f) instructing the video device to stop recording; and
(g) physically connecting the audio device to the video device, thereby causing audio data and associated or embedded time data stored on the audio device to be transferred to the video device. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22)
