I am interested in portable audio or video or audiovisual recorders
which are smaller than a tablet and whose recordings can be easily
backed up onto a computer e.g. to the Internet with live streaming and
which can run without occupying my hands.

I am interested in for example OM SYSTEM:

A friend recommends me to buy Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses. Are they any good? 
They need a mobile telephone (supposedly - I suspect that a tablet might 
work: but expensive phones and computers get robbed) and a Meta account.

Do you know if any manufacturers make rival products (preferrably without 
needing a mobile phone without needing a tablet without needing Meta)?

This friend did not say this particular model. I note
"Note: The Livestream feature is only available on Ray-Ban Meta Gen 1."
says
HTTPS://WWW.Ray-Ban.com/ireland/c/frequently-asked-questions-ray-ban-meta-smart-glasses
so an old model is probably better.

"MY STREAM LOOKS BLURRY OR PIXELATED. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Live videos from your glasses will be lower resolution than recorded 
videos from your glasses or phone."
says

This is not reassuring:

"DESPITE HAVING SOME BATTERY LEFT, I AM UNABLE TO RECORD VIDEOS. WHY?
Video capture is a power heavy use case and for a small battery with less 
than 15% charge there is a significant brownout risk (voltage drop that 
could damage the battery)."

I make recordings which last hours! E.g.

A GoPro camera might also be an option:

Thanks for insights or feedback!

P.S. On 21st July 2026 I visited a nice optician. He does not sell any
such camera, but he showed me an impressive recording which he said is
made via Even Realities but
HTTPS://WWW.EvenRealities.com/smart-glasses
has:
"No recording"!
