Abstract

A holster broadcasts a message indicating that a weapon has been removed from the holster. A recorder, in response to authenticating the message, controls recording of audio and video. The message may include an identifier of the holster. The recorder may maintain a white list of identifications and ignore messages with identifications that are not on the white list. The message, instead of being broadcast, may be transmitted with an address of an intended recorder.
