1. A system comprising:
- at least one processor; and
a memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, the memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising;
receive a selection of a use of a wearable safety device, the selection made using at least one switch that is located on the wearable safety device and that selects between at least two different uses of the wearable safety device that are associated, in the memory, with at least two different acceleration threshold values;
determine an acceleration threshold value based on at least one user-input parameter, the acceleration threshold value being adjusted based on the selected use of the wearable safety device that is selected using the at least one switch;
receive accelerometer data from at least one accelerometer that is attached to the wearable safety device; and
based on the accelerometer data indicating that a change in movement of the wearable safety device is at least the acceleration threshold value, provide video data generated by at least one camera module that is attached to the wearable safety device, wherein the video data captures a field of view in proximity to the wearable safety device.

Abstract
A video recording system for a head safety device includes a microcontroller and an accelerometer mounted in the head safety device. The accelerometer is coupled to the microcontroller. A plurality of camera modules are mounted on the head safety device and coupled to the microcontroller. The camera modules are positioned facing outward to obtain images at different angles of an environment surrounding the head safety device. The microcontroller receives data from the accelerometer and automatically initiates video recording with the camera modules when movement of the head safety device, as sensed using the accelerometer, reaches or exceeds a selected movement threshold.
