Portable automatic tracking video recording system
First Claim
1. A portable video recording system for use on an operator having a given visual line of sight for observing various objects and events therein, comprising:
- a video sensor for receiving video images;
a recorder unit coupled to the video sensor for recording the received video images, the recorder unit located on a first side of the operator;
a power supply coupled to the recording unit while also being physically spaced from the recorder unit, the power supply located on a second side of the operator opposite to the first side thereby balancing weight of the recorder unit and the power supply between the first and second sides of said operator; and
means for attaching the video sensor, power suppy and the video recorder unit on the operator so that images within the operator'"'"'s line of sight are automatically tracked and received by the video sensor independently of the operator'"'"'s hand motions, the video sensor readily identifiable by others after being attached on the operator for deterring violent behavior against said operator.

Abstract
A portable video recording system allows an operator to record objects and events while at the same time keeping the person'"'"'s hands free, and body relatively unencumbered for movement, while performing tasks. The video recording system has separate components that are attached at various locations on the operator to distribute weight of the video recording system over the operator. The video recording system is attached to an operator so that images within the operator'"'"'s line of sight and within the operator'"'"'s hearing range are automatically tracked and recorded.

11. A portable video recording system comprising:
-
a video sensor for receiving video images; an audio sensor for receiving sounds; a recorder unit for recording signals from the video and audio sensors; a jacket for fitting on an operator; and means for attaching the video sensor, audio sensor and recorder unit on the jacket so that when the operator puts on the jacket, images within the operator'"'"'s line of sight are automatically tracked and received by the video sensor independently of the operator'"'"'s hands and the weight of the video recording system is evenly distributed on the operator. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A method for recording objects and events with a portable video recording system, comprising:
-
providing a video recording system having separately detachable components including a video sensor for receiving image information, an audio sensor for receiving sound information, a recorder unit for recording the images and sounds received by the video and audio sensors, a power supply and a control unit for activating the video recording system; attaching the video recording system to an operator having a given line of sight so that objects and events along the operator'"'"'s line of sight are automatically tracked by the video sensor and recorded by the recorder unit independently of the operator'"'"'s hands; and distributing weight from the recording system components evenly about the operator thereby reducing strain on said operator when carrying said recording system while at the same time allowing the operator to maintain a given mobility for running and various additional physically strenuous activities. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
