Body Worn Cameras for 2022 – Audax 20-1
Video cameras are everywhere today from CCTV following us when we are out shopping to the dashboard ones recording our driving skills. We must not forgot that nearly all mobile phones we carry around with us have video cameras ready and waiting for that next TikTok video to be recorded as well as our laptops / televisions having them in-built. There is no wonder that today we see 30,000 hours of video uploaded every hour to Youtube!
“A body camera, bodycam, body worn video, body-worn camera, or wearable camera is a wearable audio, video, or photographic recording system. Body cameras have a range of uses and designs, of which the best-known use is as a part of policing equipment.” source Wikipedia
People like to record video footage for a host of reasons with the most popular being to capture content they wish to keep (family and friends / holidays / experiences) or that they require for work (surveying / marketing / news / social media etc). Another big reason, and increasing in popularity, is also for security and insurance purposes (hence the popularity of dashboard cameras in cars).
When it comes to filming content as part of evidence, we today see that nearly all security personal to include police will carry a video recording device on their person. This also extends out to the likes of traffic wardens, fire service personnel (also use thermal image cameras), healthcare such as ambulance trusts and also within retail.
Not only do body worn cameras acquire vital evidence recording facilities, they also protect the user. Lone working is defined by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) as people who work by themselves without close or direct supervision. Ensuring the safety of lone workers is a constant issue for businesses that have employees working alone for all or parts of their day. Body worn cameras offer a form a wearable technology that provide a number of advantages to both the lone worker and their employer. source peoplesafe
