Personal Safety Solutions
Body cameras, also known as body worn cameras, are small, lightweight video recording devices designed to be attached to a person’s clothing or uniform.
They capture high-quality video, and often audio, from the wearer’s perspective, creating an accurate, first-person record of events.
They are widely used in sectors where staff work directly with the public, operate in challenging environments or need to document activities for compliance and training purposes.
By making it clear that interactions are being recorded, body cameras can help deter verbal abuse, physical aggression and anti-social behaviour before it escalates.
In addition to improving safety, body cameras provide clear, time-stamped footage that can be used as reliable evidence in investigations, incident reviews or legal proceedings.
Modern body camera systems combine HD recording, encrypted data storage, intuitive controls and long battery life. They are a versatile tool for protecting staff, safeguarding operations and maintaining accountability.
Capturing Evidence on the Move
Body cameras capture video through a lens positioned on the front of the device. They are typically mounted to the wearer’s chest, shoulder or uniform using secure clips, harnesses or magnetic mounts.
Once activated, they capture events from the wearer’s viewpoint in high definition, storing the footage on secure, encrypted internal memory. Some units include a forward-facing screen, which acts as a visible deterrent by making it clear to the subject that they are being recorded.
Many body cameras also feature a configurable pre-event recording buffer, ensuring that crucial moments leading up to an incident are captured, even if recording begins after the event starts.
When a shift ends, footage is securely uploaded to a cloud-based evidence management platform, where it can be reviewed, clipped, annotated and shared by authorised personnel. This end-to-end process ensures that video evidence is tamper-proof and easily accessible.
By combining simple operation with secure, reliable performance, body cameras are a powerful tool for improving safety, accountability and incident response.

What are Body Cameras?
Body cameras, also known as body-worn cameras, are video recording devices specifically designed to be attached to an individual's uniform or clothing. They are invaluable personal safety devices that capture critical evidence of interactions and help de-escalate confrontations.
How are Body Cameras Different to Action Cameras?
At their core, both body cameras and action cameras perform the same function—capturing video from a wearer's perspective. Where they differ significantly is their purpose. Body cameras are designed to capture evidence and provide personal safety. To achieve this purpose, they offer longer battery durations to cover full shifts, ensure that all video evidence is encrypted and tamper-proof and prioritise legal compliance.
What Key Features Should a Body Camera Offer?
Body cameras are available from multiple manufacturers and will widely differ in quality and capabilities. The key features to focus on are recording resolutions, battery life, data security and video encryption, what mounting/attachment option does it offer and whether it is provided with a software solution.
Are Body Cameras Legal in the UK?
The use of body cameras in the UK is entirely legal. However, there are regulations around data protection and GDPR that must be considered. Individuals must be informed that they are being recorded, all footage captured must be for legitimate purposes, and video files should be stored securely and no longer than required.
