Patent attributes
The video recording systems disclosed herein comprise recording devices built in a variety of system architectures depending on the type of intended use. The guiding principle of the system architectures is that an optimal recording device will have optics, sensor, control electronics, and communication capability designed for the purpose of use. User controls, as well as power sources may be separated from the optimal recording device. Different applications may demand a variety of accessories including camera mounts, automatic camera orientation capabilities, remote control devices, and remote power sources, all of which may be designed as use-specific devices and optimized for the purpose of use.
