Video cameras are mounted in the operating room to capture video of each surgical procedure performed. Microphones are mounted in the operating room to pick up audio from each procedure. Videocassette recorders located at a remote master recording facility communicate over telephone lines with the equipment at the operating room and create an audio/video record from the video images and audio generated by the video cameras and microphones. Motion and photoelectric sensors mounted in the operating room detect the presence of persons and start and stop the videocassette recorders at the recording facility in response thereto. | |
