Vid caming the action

Strategy Page:

Combine tiny video cams and a satellite link, and the troops have a new way to collect better intelligence more quickly. All thanks to skateboarders who like to make their own, heart stopping, videos.

After noting how more and more soldiers were buying its “wearable” cameras, V.I.O,, Inc came out with a “military” version. Actually, the Vio Tac S.C.O.U.T Cam is a more rugged, more capable and more expensive version of the “sport cams” the company has been selling for several years. Commonly called “lipstick” (because of their size) cams, they first appeared in the 1990s, and became popular as a way for people to take videos of their more energetic activities (soccer, mountain biking, paint-ball battles, Etc.) Journalists, police and soldiers began using them as well. The compact video tape equipment (about the size of a paperback book) could be hung on a belt, and connected to the lipstick cam via a wire. Now there are memory stick type video recorders that are even smaller and more rugged, as well as iPod type mini-hard drives that can store over a dozen hours of hi rez video.
I think they would work great with counter battery radar to pinpoint and record where the enemy is firing from.
