Out of those in this guide, I’d say the BOBLOV M5, as they’re designed specifically as police body cameras, and has all the features they’d need in their work.

You might think that with this many features, the body camera might not last for too long. But you’d be wrong. It can last for up to 16 hours on a single charge.

Very similar in look and design to the BOBLOV B4K2 body-worn camera, but at around half the cost, the BOBLOV KJ21 is best for budget-conscious users looking for a reputable bodycam.

That shouldn’t be a problem most (or any) of the time though, and certainly not if you’re using this for creative purposes.

The Transcend DrivePro Body 10 is made in Taiwan by a reputable, established company, and sold at an excellent price point for its features.

You have the option of up to 256GB of internal memory and, whatever amount of memory you choose, the battery life is excellent, up to 15 hours of continuous recording.

Choosing a body camera is a decision that should take several factors into account, especially when the primary goal is to enhance personal safety or collect video evidence:

It uses a 360-degree rotating mount and clip to attach itself to your body (or for you to attach it to your body), and its body is lightweight, with a small, sleek design. It’s tough too, both shock and water-resistant.

A particularly handy feature is the Quick Snapshot function. If you need to take a photo, you can do it without interrupting your recording.

When the device is off, you just need to press a single button, and the BOBLOV turns on and immediately starts recording.

It’s discreet in another way, too, as its flashing LED recording light can be switched off. Something other body-worn cameras on the market don’t do.

I think for civilian use you need an unobtrusive body camera, so I’d go with either the Boblov C18 1296P or the BOBLOV KJ21 from this guide. Another option is the Transcend, although only for Windows users obviously.

The ability to record up to 1296p gives you good quality, high-resolution footage and pictures. And you can start recording video and audio with one touch.

That means your daytime footage can have a slightly purple tint in low light, as there’s no infrared cutout filter in the camera.

The footage is 2K (and can also be set to automatically record infrared for low light and nighttime), and the camera gives you a resolution of 48 megapixels.

Like the BOBLOV B4K2, it has a red laser that quickly locks onto moving targets, very useful for crime scenes, and unlike the B4K2, it has red and blue flashing alarm lights, which can be used as a warning, or to signal for backup.

The footage quality is great. It uses a Sony sensor (well-known for their delicious images) and records crystal-clear 1080p footage.

It has good battery life, up to ten hours of continuous recording, and that can be stored in internal memory of 32GB, all the way up to 128GB.

Connecting it to the internet will reduce its battery life by a bit though. And that battery life is between 3 and 4 hours of recording at 1080p with the WiFi turned off.

These are materials that present a hazard during transport but do not meet the definition of any other hazard class. Miscellaneous hazardous materials include the following:

You have an infrared camera (for up to 30ft away), a flashlight, a siren, a quick start function, and the possibility to have up to 256GB of memory using a microSD card.

Although you won’t get the ability to record in 4K for up to 16 hours at a time, this entry-level option allows you to record in 1080p for up to 10 hours.

So whether you’re a police officer, civilian, or simply a content creator wanting some stealthy video footage, here’s a list of the best body cameras this year.

There’s built-in GPS, and infrared sensors for night recording. And, if you want to be discreet at night (or during the day), it also has a Covert Mode which turns off the blinking LED recording light.

Those in this guide range from $80 – $200. You can pay less for a body camera, although I wouldn’t recommend it, and you can pay more, $500, $600. But you can always pay more, can’t you?

Memory size is not massive (32 or 64 GB), but that’s to be expected for both the size and amount of use its target market would get out of it – which is mainly you and I, the average consumer.

It can record in the night too, thanks to four infrared LEDs that surround the main camera. One thing to be aware of, though, is that these operate automatically, and can’t be turned off.

And it comes with two of those batteries, plus a micro SD card. No need to buy accessories, you’ll be good to go out of the box.

It’s GPS-enabled, can stamp your footage or photos with map coordinates in real-time (at no additional cost), and track your video route.

It has surprisingly good picture quality for its size and price (don’t expect miracles – it has a tiny sensor), and can record at 1080p.

One particularly useful feature, especially for those who might be recording in volatile or quickly-changing situations is the quick start function.

It’s just over four inches in length so, smaller than a pen, and can slip easily into a pocket and be securely attached there with its removable clip.

First off, it’s a tough device with excellent build quality. It can withstand drops of up to 2 metres and is waterproof to IP67.

This device is also dual-use. That is, you can attach it to your body, or use the suction cup to make it a dash cam. If you do decide to use it as a bodycam, though, it’s best to buy the magnetic clip to go with it, as it’s not stable enough without it.

Ideally, it will have good low-light performance too, and if it’s to be used in law enforcement, it needs to be rugged and weather-resistant.

Anyone can use a body camera anywhere they’d be able to use a standard camera, as long as they’re not breaking any privacy laws.

All in all, this is an excellent, robust, feature-packed choice for law enforcement, security professionals, and first responders.

You can record at night, either with its powerful, in-built flashlight or with its infrared night vision camera. That’s good up to 50ft, and can be set up to engage automatically.

Battery life is 5 hours. Although that doesn’t sound like much, you can record and charge at the same time. So put a charger pack in your pocket and you can record for as long as you want.
