Abstract: A camera mount for supporting a camera unit has a base portion having a first surface, which includes an elongate concave surface feature extending across at least part of the first surface and defining a first axis. Engagement means including a first plurality of protrusions which extend out of, are spaced apart across part of, the first surface, each of the protrusions extending substantially perpendicularly to the axis, and substantially parallel to at least one other of the protrusions. Each of the protrusions defines an aperture therethrough, the apertures being substantially aligned along a second axis, the second axis being substantially parallel to the first axis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of recording a video data stream, the method comprising: receiving a video data stream from a camera device; monitoring for an input from a user; in response to receipt of a first input from a user, commencing storage of the received video data stream in a data storage device; in response to receipt of a second input from a user, halting storage of the received video data stream in the data storage device; in response to receipt of a third input from a user, halting storage of the received video data stream in the data storage device, deleting data stored in the data storage device since the last commencement of storage of the video data stream, and commencing further storage of the received video data stream in a data storage device. The present invention further relates to a video recording system for carrying out the aforementioned method.

Abstract: The present invention provides a video recording device comprising a housing; a camera unit mounted in the housing and operable to receive an optical input and to output a video data stream relating to a received optical input; a user input means arranged to be operable by a user of the system, and operable to provide user input signals for the system; a data storage unit mounted in the housing and operable to store data therein; a processing unit mounted in the housing and operable to receive a video data stream from the camera unit, to receive user input signals from the user input means, and to control data storage in the data storage unit; an audio output unit operable to receive a control signal from the processing unit and to output an audio signal to a user in dependence upon such a received control signal, wherein the processing unit has a plurality of modes of operation, and is operable to switch from a current mode of operation to a next mode of operation in dependence upon receipt of a user inp
