System and method for associating a video recording to an event

A video recording system comprising:

• a body including a lens;
• a video sensor optically coupled to the lens, the video sensor producing a stream of digital video data;
• a video processor coupled to the video sensor, the video processor processing the stream of digital video data and producing digital video frame data;
• a storage device coupled to the video processor, the storage device storing the digital video frame data;
• a processor coupled to the storage device, the processor maintaining a logical master stream of video generated from the digital video frame data stored in the storage device, the logical master stream of video data comprising a start pointer and an end pointer, wherein the end pointer is continuously updated to point to the most recent digital data stored in the storage device;
• an input control coupled to the processor that, on activation, is adapted to create a second logical stream of video, the second logical stream of video comprising a second start pointer, wherein the second start pointer is adapted to be set to the value of the end pointer at the time that the second logical stream is created,
• whereby on activation of the input control a second time, the second logical stream of video is adapted to be labeled with a name,
• whereby the input control is further adapted to create a third logical stream of video on activation a third time, the third logical stream of video comprising a third start pointer, the third start pointer is adapted to be set to the value of the end pointer at the time that the input control was activated a third time;
• an event control coupled to the processor that, on activation, is adapted to label the logical master stream of video with an event name,
• whereby when the event control is activated, a keyboard appears to allow the event name to be entered in an event name box,
• whereby the event name labels the logical master stream that is associated with an event;
• a remote data storage unit adapted to store and segregate the logical master stream of video labeled with the event name, the remote data storage unit comprising multiple folders adapted to segregate multiple master video streams of video labeled with the event name;
• a remote storage control adapted to initiate transmission of the master video stream of video labeled with the event name to the remote data storage unit;
• and
• a network interface and wherein the event control and the input control are adapted to be activated by a network command.

• the second logical stream of video further comprising a second end pointer, and wherein, on activation of the input control a second time, the second end pointer is adapted to be set to the value of the end pointer at the time that the input control was activated the second time,
• whereby on activation of the input control a second time, the second logical stream of video is adapted to be labeled with a name.
