Body Worn Cameras

About

One of the most important things to consider before purchasing a hidden camera is the environment and context where the device will eventually be used. If you want to make sure that nobody steals anything from your bedroom the next time you have a party, a camera cleverly concealed in a normal-looking clock radio is perfect because this is exactly the type of item nobody would think twice about seeing in this context. If you need covert monitoring capabilities while on the go, however, the same device would leave a lot to be desired as it would definitely attract attention to see someone carrying a clock radio around with them wherever they go. For this reason, body-worn cameras can be a great asset to people who wish to achieve truly covert surveillance wherever they happen to be. As with all hidden cameras, though, your purchase requires you to keep a few key things in mind. The Body As stated, one of the most important things you'll need to look at when choosing a body-worn camera is the type of device it is hidden inside. Some cameras look like a standard pair of reading glasses, for example, while others might look like a completely normal wrist watch or even the garage door opener FOB that goes on your keychain. Always pick the style that makes the most sense for you personally, as if you don't wear glasses but suddenly show up with a shiny new pair with a camera hidden inside, you're only going to attract unwanted attention. Battery Life Because body-worn cameras are designed to be used while you're on the move, you'll want to pay careful attention to the battery life of the model you choose. Never assume that just because a unit can store five hours of HD video, for example, that it also has a five-hour battery life. Because these units are so small, you usually have between one and three hours to work with. If you're only concerned with short recording sessions you can't go wrong, but if longevity is a priority always emphasize longer battery life. Stop/Sta
