Claim:
1. A material transport system for tracking shipment items handled in a facility, the system comprising: a materials handling vehicle that is configured to perform at least one physical operation for loading, unloading, inspecting, or moving shipment items in a facility; a power supply that is mounted on the materials handling vehicle, wherein the power supply is configured to power the materials handling vehicle; and a tracking device that is mounted on the materials handling vehicle configured to dynamically retrieve video of the shipment items handled in the facility in coordination with the at least one physical operation performed by the materials handling vehicle, the tracking device being coupled to at least one video camera configured to continuously record video content data in a loop overwriting a buffer using an adaptive video capture procedure, wherein the adaptive video capture procedure selectively generates a concatenated video file from the continuously recorded video content data by dynamically and without manual intervention extracting distinct first and second durations of video content data from the buffer based on the at least one physical operation being performed by the materials handling vehicle and combining the video content data associated with the extracted first and second durations, thereby minimizing memory required to capture video for the handled shipment items, the tracking device comprising:
