Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to recording devices coupled to guns that are configured to record events. In an embodiment, a gun-mounted recording device comprises: a sensor configured to: sense the gun is in use; and send an activation signal to a recording device in response to sensing the gun is in use. Further, the recording device is communicatively coupled to the sensor, wherein the recording device is configured to: transition from a lower-power state to a higher-power state in response to receiving the activation signal, wherein the recording device records wherein the higher-power state; and record at least one aspect of the gun's environment in response to transitioning from the lower-power state to the higher-power state.
In an exemplary embodiment, a gun-mounted recording device comprises a housing configured to be mounted to a gun, a recording module arranged within the housing, the recording module comprising a first electrical contact, and a power supply configured to be detachably coupled to the housing. The power source comprises a second electrical contact. The first electrical contact and the second electrical contact are configured to contact each other and form a circuit when the power source is coupled to the housing in order for the power source to supply power to the recording module. The first electrical contact, the second electrical contact, or both are configured to move in response to relative movement between the power source and the housing when the power source is coupled to the housing, in order to maintain the supply of power from the power source to the recording module.

An electronic accessory for a firearm includes a housing including a right side, a left side, and an attachment mechanism for securing the electronic accessory to the firearm. The housing contains components of the electronic accessory. The components of the electronic accessory include an electronic component, a sensor sensing a magnetic field, and a circuit board coupled to the electronic component and the sensor. The circuit board controls the electronic component and suspends power to the electronic component when the sensor senses a magnetic field above a threshold strength. A first switch is disposed on the right side of the housing and a second switch is disposed on the left side of the housing. The switches are operable to control the electronic component via the circuit board. A power source provides power to at least one of the electronic component, the sensor, and the circuit board.
