Abstract: A method is provided for supplying to an operator a video stream from at least one of a plurality of cameras that capture images. This includes connecting the cameras and a computer to a network and recording the images from each camera into a corresponding buffer accessible to the computer. Upon detecting a triggering event associated with an event-recording camera, further operations include responding to the triggering event by depositing the images from an event-recording buffer corresponding to said event-recording camera as the video stream into a reviewable memory, and retrieving the video stream from the reviewable memory for the operator. The operator is preferably one of a commander using a command workstation, a lethal response operator using a lethal workstation, and a non-lethal response operator using a non-lethal workstation. Also preferably, each workstation is assigned as one of a primary brain and failover brains.

Abstract: The invention relates to a clip consisting of two clamping jaws 1, 2 provided with actuating elements 3, 4 and, in particular, molded of plastic, and of an elastic element which joins the former and presses them together in the clamping plane 5. To make secure clamping of an object to be retained between the clamping jaws 1, 2 possible, it is provided that the actuating elements 3, 4 are disposed so as to be slidable in a plane oriented perpendicular to the clamping plane 5 against the action of the elastic element 6 and that the actuating ends 15, 16 of each actuating element 3, 4 project beyond the rear end 17, 18 of the respectively other actuating element 3, 4. This causes the clamping jaws 1, 2 to open and close in a direction oriented exactly perpendicular to the clamping plane 5, thereby making secure clamping of objects possible.
