The Surprising Benefits of Body-Worn Cameras You
Never Knew About It is mind-blowing to think how
the advancement of technology improves our
society. The rise of crime and confusion caused
by verbal evidence gave birth to the idea of a
hand-held or wearable form of camera that
provides unalterable and concrete evidence. This
is how Body-worn cameras (BWCs) came into the
picture. Its been over a decade since the
private sector and police started using BWCs in
the UK. Its success paved the way for other
sectors like security, retail, healthcare and
event management.
The EH-15 GPP-M9one of the UKs Best Body Worn
Camera The EH-15 body-worn video camera is a
wearable device that offers full 1080p HD video
recording, a 140-degree wide-angle lens for
capturing more footage, 64 GB of internal
memory, over 10-hour record time, auto night
vision, a pre-record, post-recording function,
and much more. It is regarded as one of the best
body camera because of its vast set of features
coupled with a sharp display, rugged case and
IP67 water resistance. These let it perform as
intended, easing the job of its user and backing
their actions up with audio, photos and
videos. While gathering evidence is its major
use, body-worn cameras are now deployed
successfully in other instances too. Here are a
few surprising benefits and uses.

Detering Crime At the base of all crime is
intent. Criminal intent is defined as the
determination/decision that a person makes to
commit a criminal offence. You might have heard
police using body-worn cameras to gather evidence
after the crime had happened, but did you know
it also helps stop crime before it
happened? Users note that most times, people
become wary of their actions when they know they
are being recorded by the body-worn camera. This
reduces aggression, forcing them to deal with
the situation sensibly. Hence, BWCs help in
deterring crime by nipping aggressive behavior
in the bud. Protection Against Malpractice
Claims One of the most repetitive obstacles
hotels and hospitals face is malpractice claims.
These are made by customers, underlining the
shortcomings in the promised services. With the
body-worn cameras audio and video recording
features, the user can record every conversation
to provide a concrete ground to support their
cause. All files are easily transferable from
the device to a PC/laptop via a USB
port. Support Existing Hardware/Software CCTV
cameras have become a common practice for video
surveillance in offices, hotels, hospitals and
similar institutions. However, because of a fixed
angle and the inability to record audio, their
use has limited benefits. Pairing them with
body-cams is perhaps the best way to make the
best out of it. Body-worn cameras provide a
personal point of view angle along with audio
recording that supports the CCTV recording to
uncover the entire situation.

Track Work Efficiency The efficiency with which
employees complete their tasks depends on
numerous factorsHow they understand their job,
how well they can do it, do they know and use
necessary shortcuts when needed, etc.By mounting
a body-worn camera, you can track how your
employees go about their shift and their
performance. It can also pinpoint and correct
inefficiencies because of a lack of knowledge of
a better way to implement their day-to-day
tasks. As a Training Reference Deploying new
employees in any sector requires training that
tells them the dos and donts of their job. The
quality of training is as good as the references
used to explain everything. All footage from
the BWCs can easily be transferred and stored on
PCs and laptops. These cover a wide range of
situations, some that were handled well, and
others that werent. Nonetheless, both can be
used as a reference for training future
staff. Discreet recording Apart from the myriad
