Body cameras have a vital role in different industries, but when individuals and police officers use body cameras, I believe they do not choose to use them handheld, but instead choose to use a series of body camera mounts or clips. Body camera clips are an important wearable accessory that firmly fixes the body camera to the user's clothes or uniform, ensuring stability and the best viewing position for recording video. The cost of body camera mounts or clips accessories may vary depending on their design, materials, and brand. Generic models may be relatively cheap, ranging from $5 to $10, while special customized premium mounts or clips may cost up to $15-50. Investing in high-quality body camera mounts or clips is essential to ensure reliable performance and safety, especially when used in demanding environments.
Let us explore NOVESTOM body camera mounts and clips and guide users to wear them correctly.
Please choose the right body camera mount or accessory for your needs Choosing the right body camera mount is like choosing the right clothes. It's all about comfort, safety, and reliability. NOVESTOM offers a variety of brackets and clips, each designed to meet the needs of different users. Common types include magnetic clips, car brackets, alligator clips, and swivel clips.
Magnetic Clips: We offer two universal magnet brackets for NOVESTOM body-worn cameras. The magnet bracket 1 has four-corner fixation, which features high strength, ensuring that the body-worn camera can stay in place even during intense activities, and is very easy to install and remove. The other is a Mini-type magnet bracket, whose main features are quick installation and removal of the body-worn camera, compact and stable camera recording, and is very suitable for ultra-thin uniforms to wear body-worn cameras.
Alligator Clip: People know that this clip has a strong grip, and NOVESTOM often gives it as a standard accessory to users who purchase body-worn cameras. It can be swivel clamped in different positions and is also the most commonly used wearable accessory.
Swivel Lock Clip: Provides flexibility by allowing the body-worn camera to rotate, so that the lens can rotate to provide a larger range of motion recording. This plays a key role in shooting at different angles.
Chest strap mount: This is a commonly used option and is usually mounted on the chest area. It provides an intuitive, interactive eye-level view, also known as the first-person perspective. It is ideal for capturing face-to-face encounters. This position is favored for its inconspicuousness and accessibility.
Shoulder strap mount: Mounting the body camera on the user's shoulder requires the use of NOVESTOM's shoulder strap mount, which provides higher-resolution video, which is very practical in crowded scenes.
Each mounting option has its advantages and disadvantages, and the choice is usually based on the user's specific shooting requirements.
How to properly install the body camera clip to ensure safety
Often, after mounting the body camera on the body, users may overlook a question. That is, can the body camera be snatched away by others? The answer is yes, and many times, when the police use it, there is a higher possibility of conflict with the public.
In close encounters, especially during physical conflicts, body cameras can be easily snatched away or knocked away. This risk is exacerbated when the camera is mounted in an easily accessible location such as the chest or shoulder. Individuals involved in a conflict may instinctively or deliberately reach for the camera, either to obstruct recording or in response to the physical proximity of the device.
To reduce these risks, users need to consider the installation strategy of the body camera when possible:
That is, choose to use a safer installation option when purchasing a body camera clip, such as the NOVESTOM magnet bracket and rotating clip, both of which we took into account at the beginning of the design. By adding a locking device to its own structure, it can help prevent the camera from being easily snatched away.
The above is the wearing sharing provided by NOVESTOM. When users can understand these, they will have a deeper understanding of the wearing and action of the body camera.
