Abstract: A system for conserving power of a battery powered accelerometer controlled Wi-Fi streaming video camera is disclosed. The system conserves power by allowing for Wi-Fi and video streaming to be turned on only during certain events and for video quality to be adjusted based on battery life. Some embodiments of the systems allow for a real time point of view streaming video device to be connected to a subject without having to constantly be connected via Wi-Fi. The system also allows for video quality to be adjusted both manually and automatically to maximize battery life.
