Abstract
Systems and methods for altering communications captured by an incident recording device are provided. An incident recording may be captured by a recording device. The incident recording may comprise audio data. A communication activation signal may be detected by the recording device. The communication activation signal may be followed by communication audio data and the communication audio data may be captured in the audio data. Based on detecting the communication activation signal, the recording device may alter the audio data of the incident recording to at least partially alter the communication audio data captured in the audio data.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- capturing, by a processor of a recording device, an incident recording, wherein the incident recording comprises audio data;
- detecting, by the processor, a communication activation signal, wherein the communication activation signal is followed by communication audio data, and wherein the communication audio data is captured in the audio data;
- altering, by the processor and based on detecting the communication activation signal, the audio data of the incident recording to at least partially alter the communication audio data captured in the audio data;
- recording, by the processor, the audio data comprising the at least partially altered communication audio data in a memory of the recording device;
- and
- transmitting, by the processor and based on detecting the communication activation signal, the communication audio data via a network interface of the recording device, wherein the communication audio data transmitted via the network interface is unaltered.
A recording device comprising:
- an image capturing system configured to capture image data;
- an audio capturing system configured to capture audio data;
- and
- a processor configured to operatively control the image capturing system and the audio capturing system, wherein the processor is configured to perform operations comprising:
- detecting a communication activation signal from a communication device, wherein the communication activation signal is followed by communication audio data, and wherein the communication audio data is captured in the audio data;
- and
- altering, based on detecting the communication activation signal, the audio data to at least partially alter the communication audio data captured in the audio data, wherein altering the audio data includes preventing the communication audio data captured in the audio data from being recorded for an incident recording comprising the altered audio data and the image data.
A method comprising:
- capturing, by a processor of a recording device, a pre-event recording, wherein the pre-event recording comprises pre-event audio data;
- detecting, by the processor, a communication activation signal, wherein the communication activation signal is followed by communication audio data, and wherein the communication audio data is captured in the pre-event audio data;
- altering, by the processor and based on detecting the communication activation signal, the pre-event audio data of the pre-event recording to at least partially alter the communication audio data captured in the pre-event audio data;
- and
- after altering the pre-event audio data of the pre-event recording to at least partially alter the communication audio data captured in the pre-event audio data, discarding, by the processor, a portion of the pre-event audio data when capture of an event recording is not initiated with a predetermined period of time for which the portion of the pre-event audio data is buffered for the pre-event recording.
