Claim 4:
5. A surveillance pendant assembly for discretely recording video evidence and audio evidence, said assembly comprising:
a personal electronic device;
a pendant being attachable to a necklace wherein said pendant is configured to be worn on a user, said pendant having a front wall, a back wall and an outer wall extending between said front wall and said back wall, said outer wall being continuously arcuate about a center point of said front wall such that said pendant has a rounded shape, a curve of said outer wall being elongated between a top side and a bottom side of said outer wall such that said pendant has an ovoid shape;
an attachment being coupled to said top side of said outer wall of said pendant, said attachment engaging the necklace for suspending said pendant from the necklace;
a video camera being integrated into said pendant wherein said video camera is configured to capture video footage of the user's environment, said video camera being positioned on said front wall of said pendant, said video camera being positioned closer to said bottom side than said top side of said outer wall of said pendant;
a lens being coupled to said front wall of said pendant, said lens being aligned with said video camera;
a microphone being integrated into said pendant wherein said microphone is configured to record audio of the user's environment, said microphone being positioned on said front wall of said pendant, said microphone being positioned between said video camera and said top side of said outer wall of said pendant;
wherein said front wall and said outer wall of said pendant are smooth extending around said attachment, said video camera, and said microphone wherein said pendant is configured to appear devoid of operational controls on said front wall and said outer wall;
a control circuit being integrated into said pendant, said video camera being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said microphone being electrically coupled to said control circuit;
a transmitter being integrated into said pendant, said transmitter being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said transmitter broadcasting a video signal for communicating the video footage captured by said video camera, said transmitter broadcasting an audio signal for communicating the audio footage captured by said microphone, said transmitter being in wireless communication with said personal electronic device thereby facilitating said personal electronic device to receive said video signal and said audio signal wherein said personal electronic device is configured to record the video and audio for subsequent analysis; and
a power supply being removably positioned in said pendant, said power supply being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said power supply comprising at least one battery.
