1. An apparatus comprising: a digital camera configured to capture video data;one or more sensors configured to capture associated sensor data, wherein the one or more sensors include an inertial measurement unit (IMU);a global positioning system (GPS) receiver configured to determine location information;a processor configured to: receive the video data, sensor data, and location information;determine that a wearer of the apparatus has been shot based on data received from the IMU;generate an augmented video stream by periodically marking the video data with contemporaneous location information and sensor data;mark the video data with an indication of a gunshot responsive to determining that the wearer of the apparatus has been shot; anda wireless transceiver configured to automatically stream the augmented video stream in response to an event detected via at least one of the one or more sensors or in response to a determined location. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to mark the video data with an event corresponding to at least a portion of the sensor data. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the processor is further configured to compare the sensor data to at least one threshold and mark the video data with the event on a condition that the sensor data exceeds the at least one threshold. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to determine a wireless connection condition; and wherein the wireless transceiver is further configured to: transmit the augmented video stream at a relatively higher resolution on a condition that the wireless connection condition is determined to be above a first threshold; andtransmit the augmented video stream at a relatively lower resolution on a condition that the wireless connection condition is determined to be below the first threshold. 5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the wireless transceiver is further configured to transmit the location information and sensor data without the video data on a condition that the wireless connection is determined to be below a second threshold that is lower than the first threshold. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the digital camera has a 360 degree field of view. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the wireless transceiver is configured to stream the augmented video stream via a Long Term Evolution (LTE) or LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) wireless network. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor, in conjunction with the GPS receiver, is configured to determine that the apparatus has entered into a location corresponding to a predefined geo-fence, and wherein the wireless transceiver is further configured to automatically stream the augmented video stream in response to determining that the apparatus has entered the location corresponding to the predefined geo-fence. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the wireless transceiver is configured to transmit the augmented video stream to a remote server on a condition that the wireless transceiver detects a presence of a predetermined wireless connection. 10. A method for execution by a body camera, the method comprising: capturing video data;capturing sensor data associated with one or more sensors, wherein the one or more sensors include an inertial measurement unit (IMU);determining location information corresponding to the body camera;determining that a wearer of the body camera has been shot based on data received from the IMU;generating an augmented video stream by periodically marking the video data with contemporaneous location information and sensor data;marking the video data with an indication of a gunshot responsive to determining that the wearer of the body camera has been shot; andautomatically streaming the augmented video stream in response an event detected via at least one of the one or more sensors or in response to a determined location. 11. The method of claim 10, further comprising marking the video data with an event corresponding to at least a portion of the sensor data. 12. The method of claim 11, further comprising comparing the sensor data to at least one threshold and marking the video data with the event on a condition that the sensor data exceeds the at least one threshold. 13. The method of claim 10, further comprising: determining a wireless connection condition;transmitting the augmented video stream at a relatively higher resolution on a condition that the wireless connection condition is determined to be above a first threshold; andtransmitting the augmented video stream at a relatively lower resolution on a condition that the wireless connection condition is determined to be below the first threshold. 14. The method of claim 13, further comprising transmitting the location information and sensor data without the video data on a condition that the wireless connection is determined to be below a second threshold that is lower than the first threshold. 15. The method of claim 10, wherein the capturing the video data includes capturing the video data with a 360 degree field of view. 16. The method of claim 10, wherein the automatically streaming the augmented video stream includes streaming the augmented video stream via a Long Term Evolution (LTE) or LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) wireless network. 17. The method of claim 10, further comprising: determining that the body camera has entered into a location corresponding to a predefined geo-fence; andautomatically streaming the augmented video stream in response to determining that the body camera has entered the location corresponding to the predefined geo-fence. 18. The method of claim 10, further comprising transmitting the augmented video stream to a remote server on a condition that a presence of a predetermined wireless connection is detected.
