- 1. A miniature camera system comprising, a camera module which converts light into serial data, said camera module comprised of, at least, one lens arranged to direct light onto a photo-detector of a video sensor affixed to a printed circuit board, and integrated circuitry to convert parallel data to serial data.
- 17. A device to protect a wearable camera lens comprising, a series of lens shields which act to prevent debris from reaching the camera lens, wherein said lens shields are assembled to be progressively removed during use.
- 21. A camera mount for mounting a miniature camera on the bridge of a pair of eyewear comprising, a camera housing and at least one top mounting arm and at least one bottom mounting arm, wherein said mounting arms engage said glasses and are tensioned about said bridge.
- 25. A camera mount for affixing a miniature camera to a helmet, comprising a camera housing, a mount flange to affix the mount to said helmet, at least two flexible support arms extending laterally in an arcuate shape to affix said camera mount to said mount flange, and reinforcement ribs to affix said support arms to said mount flange so as to inhibit vertical movement of the camera housing.
- 27. A gun barrel camera mount comprising a camera housing, a band to encircle said barrel within a circumference of said band, and a support to affix said camera housing to said band.
-
29. The method of miniaturizing a camera by running a parallel-to-serial conversion of data generated by said camera, transmitting said serial data over a plurality of serial channels to a remote recording device where said data is converted back to its former parallel format prior to compression and storage.
