Wearable safety device

A personal safety device for discretely sending a signal to a monitoring system, comprising:

• a support member mountable on a user's body;
• a housing attached to said support member;
• an activation button movably mounted in said housing;
• a camera system mounted on said housing and including a video camera and an audio system configured to capture video and audio, respectively, from the surroundings of the personal safety device;
• a main circuit board contained within said housing and including a wireless communication system, wherein the wireless communication system sends the signal without requiring an intermediate personal electronic device;
• a battery system connected to said camera system, said main circuit board and said activation button, said main circuit board being in electrical communication with said activation button and said camera system, such that activation of said activation button causes said wireless communication system to send an alarm signal to a remote monitoring system, said alarm signal including real time video and audio feeds from said camera system;
• and
• wherein the personal safety device further includes a global positioning system connected to the main circuit board, wherein activation of the activation button causes the wireless communication system to transmit the personal safety device's position to the remote monitoring system;
• and
• wherein the personal safety device further includes a vibrator motor associated with the activation button and the main circuit board such that activation of the activation button causes the vibrator motor to vibrate the housing;
• and
• wherein the activation button and camera system are covered with a concealing cover, wherein opposing edges of the cover are fixed to the housing.
