  • Wireless event authentication system
    Patent number: 7894519
    Abstract: A wireless data acquisition and recording (DAR) system includes acquisition circuitry including a video camera and/or a microphone carried by an operator for capturing video and audio events viewed and/or heard by the operator. A wireless transmitter wirelessly transmits digital signals containing the video events captured by the video camera and the audio events detected by the microphone. A data display and report submission (DD) device receives the wirelessly transmitted digital data captured by the acquisition circuitry and stores the data as media files.
    Type: Grant

  • Wireless event authentication system
    Patent number: 7483485
    Abstract: A wireless data acquisition and recording (DAR) system includes acquisition circuitry including a video camera and/or a microphone carried by an operator for capturing video and audio events viewed and/or heard by the operator. A wireless transmitter wirelessly transmits digital signals containing the video events captured by the video camera and the audio events detected by the microphone. A data display and report submission (DD) device receives the wirelessly transmitted digital data captured by the acquisition circuitry and stores the data as media files. The DAR system can also authenticate date, time, and location of the captured video and audio events. The DAR system can also encode the recorded events for authentication purposes and can scramble the data to prevent use by unauthorized persons.

  • Portable automatic tracking video recording system
    Patent number: 5886739
    Abstract: A portable video recording system allows an operator to record objects and events while at the same time keeping the person's hands free, and body relatively unencumbered for movement, while performing tasks. The video recording system has separate components that are attached at various locations on the operator to distribute weight of the video recording system over the operator. The video recording system is attached to an operator so that images within the operator's line of sight and within the operator's hearing range are automatically tracked and recorded.
