A head-worn video recording system for mounting on a piece of head gear, comprising:

• a camera module attachable to the head gear, including a first video camera integrated into the camera module for generating a video signal;
• a recording module removably attachable to the head gear and adapted to receive the video signal and store data representative of the video signal;
• a power supply module removably attachable to the head gear and electrically connectable to said camera module and to said recording module;
• a night vision system removably attachable to the head gear, said night vision system for generating an output image in human-viewable form under low light conditions;
• a second video camera attached to the night vision system, said second video camera electrically coupled to said power supply module and said recorder module;
• and
• a beam splitter positioned along an optical axis of the night vision system for directing a first portion of the night vision system output image to said second video camera and a second portion of the night vision system output image to an eye of a user.
