Dispatch-based responder camera activation

A computing system for activating recording, the computing system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer-readable medium having instructions embodied thereon, wherein the instructions, in response to execution by the processor, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
• receiving an indication of an event from a first responder computing device associated with a first responder;
• determining a geographic area associated with the event;
• receiving a dispatch acknowledgement indicating that a second responder is en route to the geographic area;
• in response to receiving the dispatch acknowledgement and determining the geographic area, sending a camera activation signal to a responder camera associated with the second responder;
• and
• receiving video from the responder camera, wherein the first responder is different from the second responder and the responder camera is configured to automatically send the video in response to receiving the camera activation signal.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions embodied thereon for activating recording, wherein the instructions, in response to execution by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:

• receiving an indication of an event from a first responder computing device associated with a first responder;
• determining a geographic area associated with the event;
• receiving information as a dispatch acknowledgement, wherein the information indicates that a second responder is en route to the geographic area;
• in response to receiving the dispatch acknowledgement and determining the geographic area, automatically sending a camera activation signal to a responder camera associated with the second responder;
• and
• receiving video from the responder camera, wherein the first responder is different from the second responder and the responder camera is configured to send the video in response to receiving the camera activation signal.
