A wearable form factor wireless camera may include an image sensor, coupled to an infrared detection module, which captures infrared video. The wearable form factor wireless camera may attach to clothing worn on a user and be ruggedized. A storage device may store the captured infrared video at a first fidelity. The stored infrared video may be capable of being transmitted at the first fidelity and at a second fidelity, with the first fidelity providing a higher frame rate than the second fidelity. A burst transmission unit may transmit the stored infrared video at the second fidelity via a cellular network. The infrared detection module, the image sensor, the storage device and the burst transmission unit may be powered by a battery. The image sensor, the infrared detection module, the battery, the storage device and the burst transmission unit may be internal to the wearable form factor wireless camera.

Video delivery systems using wireless cameras

A wearable form factor wireless camera may include an image sensor for capturing video, the image sensor powered by a battery internal to the wearable form factor wireless camera. The camera may be ruggedized and attached attach to clothing worn on a user. Further, the camera may include a burst transmission unit to transmit video via a cellular network, and include video analytics software executed by an internal processor, coupled to a buffering memory and powered by the battery. The camera may also include an internal storage device powered by the battery and configured to store video information at a first fidelity, the stored video information capable of being transmitted to a base station at the first fidelity and at a second fidelity. Also, the first fidelity may provide higher video quality than the second fidelity. The camera may switch the second fidelity to the first fidelity upon a trigger.

Systems, apparatuses, and techniques for video delivery can include one or more of the following: a wireless camera arranged in a wearable form factor comprising a battery to provide energy, and configured to generate a video feed, and a base station in wireless communication with the wireless camera and configured to receive the video feed from the wireless camera and process the video feed, and a video portal device communicatively coupled with the base station and configured to receive the processed video feed from the base station and deliver at least a portion of the processed video feed to one or more remote clients. A base station can reserve a wireless channel for the wireless camera for a video transmission.
