Abstract

An improved gun and body camera system having a weapon mounted camera, a body camera and a forearm communicator. In one aspect, the weapon mounted camera, body camera and forearm communicator are integrated into a single system for recording and synchronizing audio and video. In another aspect, the system can be separated, with each unit (i.e., gun camera, body camera, and forearm communicator) operating independently, as a stand-alone device. Each device preferably contains a number of components and sensors, which are used in combination with system software to improve law enforcement and firearm safety.

Claims

1. A recording system comprising:

a weapon-mounted camera attached to a firearm and a body-worn camera;

wherein said weapon-mounded camera is configured to begin recording video after detecting that said firearm has been removed from a holster;

wherein, if said body camera is within a predefined range of said weapon-mounted camera, and if said detects that said weapon-mounted camera has begun recording video, then said body camera is configured to each begin recording video;

wherein said weapon-mounted camera is configured to calculate a projected bullet path of said firearm; and

wherein said weapon-mounted camera will alter a user if said projected bullet path of said firearm is unsafe.
