Abstract:
Electronic processing systems and methods for collaborating between vehicular threat detection appliances. One system includes a memory, a transceiver, an electronic processor, and a first vehicular 360-degree threat detection appliance that is physically coupled to a first vehicle. The electronic processor is configured to identify a portion of the first vehicular 360-degree threat detection appliance having an obstructed field-of-view. The electronic processor is also configured to detect a second vehicular 360-degree threat detection appliance that is physically coupled to a second vehicle and has an unobstructed field-of-view of the obstructed field-of-view. The electronic processor is further configured to transmit a request to the second vehicular 360-degree threat detection appliance to provide threat detection coverage for the first vehicle in a direction of the obstructed field-of-view. The electronic processor is also configured to temporarily disable the portion of the first vehicular 360-degree threat detection appliance that has the obstructed field-of-view.
Abstract:
A shoulder mountable communication device provides a remote speaker microphone (RSM), a camera, and a battery. The device is conformable to different user's to provide for a maximum imaging field of view and hands-free operation of the camera.
Abstract:
An event in a public safety (PS) network is recorded by mounting a video recording device for capturing images in a field of view (FOV) on a PS person, by tracking the PS person's point of view (POV) by mounting a motion sensor on the PS person's head for joint movement therewith to generate an output direction control signal indicative of a direction along which the POV is directed; by determining a context of the event in which the PS person is engaged by generating from a context sensor an output context signal indicative of the context of the event; and by automatically controlling operation of the video recording device based on the context and control signals by controlling one of direction of the FOV, angle of the FOV, size of the images, and resolution of the images.
Abstract:
A portable communication device (200) provides a remote speaker microphone (RSM) (204) that is adaptable to a plurality of interchangeable bridge interface modules. The plurality of interchangeable bridge interface modules may comprise interchangeable camera (212), (218) and non-camera (220) bridge interface modules that couple between the RSM (204) and a power source (208). The power source (208) may also be interchangeable via a portable battery (212) or corded power module (214). The portable communication device is shoulder mountable and well suited to portable public safety applications.
Abstract:
An adapter (150) for an earpiece (100) is provided to convert an on-ear device to an in-ear device. The adapter (150) is formed of a base (152) having clips (154) and an ear tip (156) extending therefrom. The base (150) clips onto the on-ear device (100) such that porting on the on-ear device is channeled through the ear tip (156) as an in-ear device.
Abstract:
A mounting apparatus (102) comprises a plurality of flexible interconnected spacer segments (104) for receiving the antenna (106), the plurality of flexible interconnected spacer segments provide a continuous offset (114) between the antenna and another surface. Each of the plurality of flexible interconnected spacer segments (104) comprises a unitarily molded flexible link, each link having a triangular cross sectional geometry (350) having an opening (108) on top (302) for receiving the antenna, and the top leading to a wider base for mounting to a surface. The links are separable (312) providing for a customizable length and form factor.
Abstract:
A jack housing (110) for a plug and jack connector system (120, 110) comprises a plurality of integrated cable retention hooks (114) about which to wrap a cable (124) of a cabled accessory (120). The integrated retention hooks (114) retain the cable (124) so as to avoid inadvertent disconnect of the plug (122) from the jack (116). The integrated retention hooks (114) can accommodate a variety of different diameter cables or multiple cables.
Abstract:
A video camera system comprises an elongate camera housing (102) extending along a longitudinal axis (104); a camera lens (106) disposed axially along the longitudinal axis (104) at a distal end of the camera housing, such that the camera lens faces away from the elongate camera housing; a mount (108) including a receptacle (110) to hold the camera housing (102) secured against a vehicular windshield (302) of a motor vehicle, the mount including a first region having a first opening (112); and visually perceptible light indicators (114) positioned on the elongate camera housing (102) at a location such that the visually perceptible light indicators are viewable through the first opening (112) of the mount (108), the visually perceptible light indicators (114) providing an indication of an operational status of the camera system viewable through the vehicular windshield (302) from a location outside of the motor vehicle.
Abstract:
A video camera comprises a housing (102) configured of a top housing portion (104), a mid-housing portion (106) and a bottom housing portion (108). The top housing portion is configured as a circular and rounded exterior contoured wall (110) having an exterior recessed feature (112) formed along an edge (114). The mid-housing portion (106) is formed of an IR window ring (116) having an alignment tab (118) extending therefrom, the alignment tab being aligned and recessed within the exterior recessed feature (112) of the rounded exterior contoured wall (110) of the top housing portion (104), and the bottom housing portion (108) providing a camera dome (120) seated within and protruding from the IR window ring (116).
Abstract:
A video recorder (100) is configured and assembled to provide improved ventilation for cooling and improved protection against liquid intrusion. The video recorder is formed of a main chassis housing, a top cover, and a bezel for coupling the top cover to the main chassis housing. Once assembled, channels are formed which provide paths for both liquid egress and airflow intake. The channels allow airflow into fan intake openings located within a top portion of the main chassis housing. The channels further provide for liquid to be diverted away from the fan intake openings.
