Abstract
A camera system is described that includes a video camera, a first memory, and a second memory. The video camera continuously stores live video stream to the first memory for a prescribed amount of time before overwriting the live video stream in the first memory. A capture command causes the video camera to transfer the pre-recorded live video stream to a second memory. The captured video clip saved to second memory is not overwritten, and can be shared or stored.
Claims20
A camera system comprising:
- a video camera having an image sensor and a first memory, wherein the image sensor continuously sends a live video stream to store in the first memory while in operation;
- a second memory communicatively coupled to the video camera, wherein the video camera sends a captured video clip to the second memory in response to receiving a capture command, the captured video clip formed from a portion of the live video stream stored in the first memory;
- a venue having a geo-fence, wherein the captured video clip is automatically stored in the second memory in response to video captured within the geo-fence.
A camera system comprising:
- a video camera having an image sensor, a first memory and a processor, wherein the image sensor continuously sends a live video stream to the first memory for storage while in operation and continuously overwrites the live video stream to maintain the live video stream at a first predetermined length of video;
- a second memory communicatively coupled to the video camera, wherein the video camera sends a captured video clip to the second memory in response to receiving a capture command, wherein the captured video clip is a second predetermined length of video of the most recent live video stream, wherein the second predetermined length of video of the captured video clip is less than or equal to the first predetermined length of the live video stream;
- and
- a venue having a geo-fence, wherein the second memory is a memory of the venue and the captured video clip is automatically stored in the memory of the venue in response to video captured within the geo-fence.

A method of using a camera system, the method comprising:
- mounting a video camera of the camera system to a support object, the video camera having a first memory;
- storing a live video stream in the first memory, the stored live video stream having a first predetermined video length;
- continuously overwriting the stored live video stream to ensure that the stored live video stream includes a most recent live streaming video extending back a predetermined time to form the first predetermined video length;
- and
- transferring a captured video clip from the first memory to a second memory in response to receiving a capture command, wherein the captured video clip is a portion of the stored live video stream having a second predetermined video length, wherein the second memory is a memory of a venue having a geo-fence and the captured video clip is automatically stored in the memory of the venue in response to video captured within the geo-fence.
