Abstract: An improved gun and body camera system having a weapon mounted camera, a body camera and a forearm communicator. In one aspect, the weapon mounted camera, body camera and forearm communicator are integrated into a single system for recording and synchronizing audio and video. In another aspect, the system can be separated, with each unit (i.e., gun camera, body camera, and forearm communicator) operating independently, as a stand-alone device. Each device preferably contains a number of components and sensors, which are used in combination with system software to improve law enforcement and firearm safety.
