A system, comprising: a first peripheral device comprising a first short-range wireless interface, configured to: detect an event generate a first notification in response to the event; and broadcast, via the first short-range wireless interface, the first notification including indicating first information generated by the first peripheral device, wherein the first notification is unaddressed, and wherein the first information relates to the event; and a controllable camera device comprising a second short-range wireless interface, configured to: receive, via the second short-range wireless interface, the first notification from the first peripheral device; and in response to the first information received from the first peripheral device, change at least one setting of the controllable camera device based on the first information, wherein: the first peripheral device comprises a light bar peripheral device, a weapon peripheral device, a weapon holster peripheral device, or a vehicle monitor peripheral device; changing the at least one setting of the controllable camera device comprises changing a recording state of the controllable camera device to start video recording based on the first notification; and broadcasting the first notification comprises: repeatedly transmitting the first notification for a first predetermined amount of time after creation of a new session for the first notification; and ending the new session and stopping transmission of the first notification once the first predetermined amount of time has elapsed. a first peripheral device comprising a first short-range wireless interface, configured to: detect an event generate a first notification in response to the event;
