Forensic video recording with presence detection
First Claim
1. A video recording system comprising:
- a camera;
a wireless proximity tag reader;
a non-audiovisual sensor;
a storage memory; and
control circuitry operable to;
receive a plurality of frames of image data from the camera;
receive, from the proximity tag reader, a proximity tag identifier identifying a proximity tag associated with one of a law-enforcement officer'"'"'s badge, a law-enforcement vehicle, and a law-enforcement officer'"'"'s weapon, wherein the proximity tag identifier allows the image data to be associated with the law-enforcement officer or vehicle;
receive, from the non-audiovisual sensor, a plurality of sensor data readings; and
store a plurality of encoded frames, each encoded frame containing a frame of image data of the plurality of frames of image data and metadata comprising the proximity tag identifier and a sensor data reading of the plurality of sensor data readings, in the storage memory.

Abstract
At a high level, embodiments of the invention relate to augmenting video data with presence data derived from one or more proximity tags. More specifically, embodiments of the invention generate forensically authenticated recordings linking video imagery to the presence of specific objects in or near the recording. One embodiment of the invention includes video recording system comprising a camera, a wireless proximity tag reader, a storage memory and control circuitry operable to receive image data from the camera receive a proximity tag identifier identifying a proximity tag from the proximity tag reader, and store an encoded frame containing the image data and the proximity tag identity in the storage memory.

10. A method of recording authenticated video with presence data, comprising the steps of:
-
creating a plurality of augmented encoded frames by; encoding video data into plurality of encoded frames; receive, from a non-audiovisual sensor, sensor data; receiving one or more proximity tag identifiers from a proximity tag reader, wherein the proximity tag identifier is associated with one of a law enforcement officer'"'"'s badge, a law-enforcement officer'"'"'s weapon, and a law enforcement vehicle; including the received sensor data and proximity tag identifiers as metadata for the encoded frames to produce the augmented encoded frames; generating a digital signature for one of the augmented encoded frames; and storing the augmented encoded frames and digital signature. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing an augmented video file, said video file comprising:
-
a plurality of augmented frames, each augmented frame of the plurality of augmented frames including video data and one or more identifiers each associated with a respective proximity tag, wherein the one or more identifiers are associated with one of a law enforcement officer'"'"'s badge, a law-enforcement officer'"'"'s weapon, and a law enforcement vehicle, wherein the augmented frame furthers include non-audiovisual sensor data, wherein the one or more identifiers and the non-audiovisual sensor data are stored as metadata for the augmented frame; and a plurality of non-augmented frames, each non-augmented frame of the plurality of non-augmented frames including video data, wherein the non-augmented frame does not include the one or more identifiers. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
