Patent ID: 8077029

Claim:
A portable alarm video recording and transmitting device comprising of: (a) a first component unit having communicating means for transmitting and a second component unit having communicating means for transmitting in wireless communications with each other, each enclosed within a casing with fastening means attached to the casing's exterior surface for detachably securing the casings to a wearer's clothes; (b) audiovisual recording circuit for capturing and recording pictorial images and audio, said audiovisual recording circuit positioned within said first component unit, wherein said audiovisual recording circuit including illuminating means for providing lighting upon selective activation of said illuminating means; (c) said audiovisual recording means for capturing and recording pictorial images and audio generating recorded video images upon selective activation of the first component unit by activating an activation button on said second component unit, where upon activation said audiovisual recording means captures and records pictorial images and audio converting the recorded video images into an electronic signal containing said recorded video images that is transmitted wirelessly by said first component unit's communicating means to said second component unit's communicating means; (d) an illuminating switch for selective activation of said illuminating means, said illuminating switch being positioned on said exterior surface of said first component unit and electrically connected to said audiovisual recording circuit; and (e) an alarm circuit for generating an alarm signal upon selective activation of an activation button positioned on an exterior surface of said second component unit and in electrical communication with the alarm circuit, said alarm circuit positioned within said second component unit and includes communicating means, for receiving said electronic signal containing said recorded video images from the first component unit's communicating means, and wherein said second component unit's communicating means is in electrical communication with location determining means for determining the location of the second component unit with means for encoding said location in said alarm signal which is transmitted by said second component unit's communicating means that is connected to said alarm circuit, wherein upon activation of said activation button, said alarm signal is generated by said alarm circuit and said alarm signal includes said encoded location and said electronic signal containing said recorded video images that are transmitted by said second component unit's communicating means to a monitoring station at a remote location where said transmitted alarm signal and recorded video images may be monitored in real-time.
