Abstract: A body worn system for monitoring a user's environment and providing event triggered alerts provides third parties with recorded audio and/or video of the user's environment prior to the triggering event. A continuously on recording module records audio and/or video of the user's environment and demarcates the data with a pre-set time buffer. In response to the triggering event, the demarcated data is provided to third parties for playback of the user's environment prior to the triggering event to provide context to the triggering event.
