What is a Body Camera?

The bodycam is a small video/audio recording device, which is clipped to an individual's clothing, normally on the torso. The police are among the commonest organisations that use body cam cameras. They are also used in healthcare, journalism, surveillance, and recreational activities. The military uses them too to record events and training on the battlefield.

How long have they been around?

The first generation security body camera was introduced in the United Kingdom around 2006.

How far has technology come?

The first generation bodycam used to broadcast grainy images. The modern generation models, including personal body camera with audio, and HD 1080p mini body camera, records video at 1080p video at 30 frames per second, as well as seamlessly integrate with your POC handset or two-way radio.

Why do people use them?

We use them to record others when on the move. In the United Kingdom, it is legal to film people without their permission with body cameras for citizens, if they are in a public place, as long as we comply with the CCTV Code of Practice and the Data Protection Act. In other words, we can record the activities of other individuals with a personal body camera in a public place. However, we need their consent to record their activities in a private place.

What is the purpose of them?

Law enforcement agencies use them to record the activities of police officers in their interactions with the public and in the performance of their duties. We need the best body camera if we want to record the fun moments of our friends and family members discretely.
