New camera lets you record missed moments

Missed recording your baby's first steps? A new pocket-sized wearable camera allows you to 'go back in time' to capture such fleeting moments.

The device called Perfect Memory camera, developed by a US based company, is pocket-size and lightweight 12-megapixel device that can record audio and video in full-high-definition.

The camera continuously records, and can save footage from the previous five minutes, or any other pre-set duration, when you tap its touch screen. This allows people to retroactively save a video of an event after it occurs, 'Live Science' reported.

"You don't know when a surprising, magical moment will happen - capturing a baby's first words, for instance," said Jules Winnfield, COO of General Streaming Systems, the company that developed the device.

The device can be worn as a hands-free body cam. It can also attach to the dash of a car, could pair with sports action mounts, stick to virtually any surface and even hang around a pet's neck.

It can also click pictures, act as a regular video camera and shoot time-lapse photography, the company said.
