Computer program, method, and system for managing multiple data recording devices

A recording device manager for use in a multiple recording device system, the recording device manager comprising:

• a controller including at least one receiver and at least one transmitter;
• and
• an internal clock,
• wherein said at least one receiver is operable to receive a first communication signal from a first recording device indicating the first recording device is recording or has been instructed to record an event,
• wherein said at least one transmitter is operable to transmit a second communication signal to a second recording device instructing the second recording device to begin recording the event,
• wherein the second communication signal is transmitted to the second recording device in response to the receiver receiving the first communication signal from the first recording device indicating the first recording device is recording or has been instructed to record, such that the recording device manager insures the first and second recording devices both record the event,
• wherein said controller is operable to obtain a time reading from the internal clock and create a time stamp corresponding to the time reading,
• wherein the transmitter is operable to transmit a first time stamp to the first recording device corresponding to a specific time reading for a first item of recorded data,
• wherein the transmitter is operable to transmit a second time stamp to the second recording device corresponding to said specific time reading for a second item of recorded data,
• wherein said first and second items of recorded data occurred at the same time, and
• wherein as a result of the first and second time stamps identifying the same specific time reading, said first item of recorded data recorded by the first recording device has the same time stamp as said second item of recorded data recorded by the second recording device so as to correlate the respective particular items of recorded data between the first and second recording devices.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon for managing multiple recording devices, wherein the computer program instructs a processor to perform the following steps:

• receive, by a recording device manager, a first communication signal from a first recording device indicating the first recording device is recording or has been instructed to record a first set of record data related to an event,
• wherein the first recording device includes a first input for receiving the first set of record data, and wherein the received first set of record data is recorded on a first computer-readable medium associated with the first recording device;
• and
• transmit, by the recording device manager, a second communication signal to a second recording device instructing the second recording device to begin recording a second set of record data related to the event,
• wherein the second recording device includes a second input for receiving the second set of record data, and wherein the received second set of record data is recorded on a second computer-readable medium associated with the second recording device,
• wherein the first recording device is different from the second recording device, such that the first set of record data recorded by the first recording device is different than the second set of record data recorded by the second recording device,
• wherein the second communication signal is transmitted to the second recording device in response to receiving the first communication signal from the first recording device indicating the first recording device is recording or has been instructed to record, such that the recording device manager insures the first recording device records the first set of record data using the first input and the second recording device records the second set of recording data using the second input.
