A wearable camera includes an image capture device, a processor, and first and second memories. The image capture device images a subject. The first memory at least temporarily stores first communication setting information for communication with an in-vehicle communication device. The second memory stores a program that, when executed by the processor, causes the wearable camera to: perform a communication setting process that establishes a communication connection between the wearable camera and the in-vehicle communication device, delete the first communication setting information from the first memory after a lapse of a certain time from a timer reset, the timer reset occurring in response to establishment of the communication connection between the wearable camera and the in-vehicle communication device, and notify that the first communication setting information is not stored in the first memory, in response to determining that the first communication setting information is not stored in the first memory.

Wearable camera, in-vehicle communication device, charging device, and communication system

A wearable camera images a subject in front of the user, executes a first communication setting process for communicating with an in-vehicle communication device, mounted in a vehicle on which the user rides, stores first communication setting information used for communication with the in-vehicle communication device, based on the first communication setting process, in a memory, and transmits a captured image of the subject to the in-vehicle communication device, using the first communication setting information. The wearable camera deletes the first communication setting information from the memory, after a lapse of a certain time from a last communication time.
