1. An assembly, comprising:
- an emergency vehicle includinga controller to emit a field within an interior of the emergency vehicle; and
a body camera configured to be worn by an occupant of the emergency vehicle and includinga camera configured to capture images, the camera including a sensor to sense a strength of the field within an emergency vehicle and to;
activate the camera when the strength of the field falls below a certain threshold; and
deactivate the camera when the strength of the field exceeds the threshold.

Abstract
A body camera can include: a camera configured to capture images; and a sensor module programmed to: sense a strength of a field within an emergency vehicle; activate the camera when the strength of the field falls below a certain threshold; and deactivate the camera when the strength of the field exceeds the threshold. The body camera can include a receiver configured to wirelessly receive power from an energy source within the emergency vehicle. An autonomous vehicle can also be carried by the emergency vehicle, with the autonomous vehicle being configured to be automatically activated and/or charged.

13. An assembly, comprising:
-
an emergency vehicle including; a controller to emit a field within an interior of the emergency vehicle; and a magnetic resonator positioned within a set distance of the emergency vehicle to emit power; and a body camera configured to be worn by an occupant of the emergency vehicle, the body camera including; a camera configured to capture images, the camera including a sensor to sense a strength of the field within the emergency vehicle and to; activate the camera when the strength of the field falls below a certain threshold; and deactivate the camera when the strength of the field exceeds the threshold, wherein the strength of the field decreases as a distance between the body camera and the emergency vehicle increases; and a magnetic resonator receiver configured to wirelessly receive the power emitted from the magnetic resonator within the emergency vehicle to charge the body camera.
