Body Cameras

A body camera (sometimes called a personal body camera or body worn camera) is a small, portable video recording device which a person wears on their body. It records video and audio footage, capturing events from the perspective of the person who’s wearing it. The footage can be used for security, evidence, documentation or even training purposes.

The short answer is ‘yes,’ they’re legal to use here in the UK. However, their use must follow legislation such as the Data Protection Act 2018, specifically around issues like privacy, consent, and data security. The rules around recording do, of course, vary depending on whether you're in public, at work, or in sensitive areas.

Battery life varies by model and usage. The cameras in our range offer anywhere from 8 to 11 hours recording on a single charge. You can find more about the battery life and other specs on the individual body camera product pages.

Key features to consider include video resolution (e.g., HD or 4K), night vision capabilities, GPS tracking, Wi-Fi connectivity, battery life, internal storage capacity, and whether the camera supports encryption for secure data storage.

Renting avoids the upfront costs of buying - making it ideal for short-term needs or limited budgets. You get the flexibility of scaling your number of cameras up or down based on specific needs or events, without the long-term commitment. You also get access to the latest models and technology.

Yes, most body cameras can record both video and audio.

The exact size, of course, varies by model, but modern body cameras are smaller and more compact than ever - there are cameras in our range that are smaller than a standard business card!
