METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND APPARATUSES FOR CAPTURING AND ARCHIVING FIREARM EVENT TELEMETRY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

摘要

In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there are provided mechanisms, methods, systems, and apparatuses for capturing and archiving firearm event telemetry and environmental conditions. According to a particularly described embodiment, there is, for example, a method executing within a device having at least a processor and a memory therein and being physically coupled to a weapon, wherein the method includes operating a proximity sensor at the weapon, the proximity sensor to trigger an activation event upon removal of the weapon from a weapon holster; detecting the activation event and triggering event archiving; archiving event data by storing event data to the memory of the device; and uploading the event data to a remote storage separate and distinct from the device. The weapon may be a lethal or a non-lethal weapon. In a related embodiment, there is a device capable for mounting to weapon, the device including at least a proximity sensor to trigger an event upon change in status of the weapon from a holster or to a holster; an audio capture device; a video capture device; a solid state memory to store captured audio, video, and event telemetry data; and a wireless communications interface from the device to a remote location having storage capability distinct from the device. Other related embodiments are described.
