Claim 9:
10. A method in a camera assembly, comprising:
generating electrical power via an energy collector of the camera assembly;
charging an energy storage device of the camera assembly with the electrical power;, a wireless communications interface;
at a controller of the camera assembly:
detecting a capture initiation condition;
in response to detecting the capture initiation condition, controlling a camera of the camera assembly to capture an image;
