DEVICE FOR CAPTURING AND STREAMING VIDEO AND AUDIO

摘要

A portable communications device captures a plurality of data records from a camera and streams the data records to another, external device after detecting a first trigger event and a second trigger event. The portable communications device may initiate streaming of captured data records following detection of only one high confidence trigger event. Data records streamed to an external communications management system are protected from deliberate, inadvertent, or accidental alteration or deletion, thereby protecting the integrity of captured audio and video data. Data records may be stored in a buffer memory in the device when a communications link to an external device is not available, then streamed from the device after a communications link has been established.
