Suggestions for body cam with sound?

Darren Heal

In my spare time and for hifi money I do a bit of process serving here in Texas.

That means knocking on people's doors to hand serve them with what are essentially court summons.  I don't go in and take their TVs or kids or anything, just hand them the papers.  Usually its people who can't (more often than not WON'T) pay their store card bills.

Anyway, for my own protection and possible use in court proceedings I want a small modest and discrete body cam.  720p or better with sound, preferably using microSD storage and a USB interface.

Suggestions anyone?

Have you considered a buttonhole camera?
An example on Amazon is the Mengshen New HD Mini Button DV S918 Pinhole Spy Hidden Camera It has sound recording as well as video. This is an example (I have no experience of it) and I expect there are others.

UK-based "Can't pay..." TV programmes show the Bailiffs with GoPro's  - that way the customers know they are being filmed.....   maybe this improves their behaviour?
Go-Pro lookalikes are about £50 and should record sound ( DYOR ).... you will need some extra batteries too. Don't expect audio to be "excellent" - but as you are quite close, it should be plenty good enough.  These  devices mostlyl use microSD but check before buying.
Good Luck.

I think the word is discreet. i.e. not a box pinned to the front of a mac. Action cams are obvious, they could cause anger and be easily smashed. Not a good idea.
