Description
The Vid-Shield Police body video camera not only records in High Definition but it also shoots 12 mega pixels still images, equivalent to the best digital cameras in the world.
Now there has often been a large downside for the police departments wearing the video cameras. This will be the fairest interpretation you will find on the web.
Here are the pros and cons for police body cameras:
Cons:
- The police body camera, is activated by the officer and it is up to them to choose when to hit record.
- The camera body has only the ability to see what the officers are looking directly at when it is in the record mode.
- Most cameras have a very limited battery life and can not record more than 8 hours.
- The field of view is often limited to 90 degrees or at most 130 degrees, so clipping off the edges of the video might have missed the evidence everybody needed to see.
- Recharging the cameras take 4-6 hours before it can record a full shift.
Pros:
- The best police body cameras record in high definition or HD 1080P. This gives you a larger field of view.
- The intelligent body cameras can shoot still images as well as videos and can do both at the same time.
- Evidence gathered on these cameras often reflect the entire situation and can give both sides of the argument without a lawyer's intervention.
- The video protects both the citizen and the police agency.
- If the police department has a body worn written policy, it goes a long way in setting the code of ethics for the law enforcement agency.
- The body worn cameras can be deployed into houses and bars were in the past, no video could travel. This is the one advantage that personal body cameras have over police in-car cameras.
Now you can wear your Body Video Cameras (POV) and document what is going on from your departments prospective. Don't allow citizens to use the cameras in their phones to give a false perspective of an arrest.

Best body camera for police
I usually have at least two police cameras on me at the same time. One for day time and one for the night. Martel police body camera has night vision so I really do not need the other camera anymore. I have saved my city allot of money in complaints with the Vid Shield. I would recommend it to other police agencies.

I have read the police body camera reviews before
I have done my research concerning police cameras that are worn on the uniform. Most the cameras I have seen have some type of drawback. The 3 things you should be looking for are the following. 1. Does the police body camera record in 1080P a must. 2. Does the body worn camera have night vision to see incidents in the dark. 3. The last and final thing to look for is that the camera have a changeable battery pack. Ok what does this mean. So a year or two down the line can you get a new rechargeable battery for you police cam or do you have to buy a brand new camera again.

Police body camera is the most important tool we have at our police department!, 3/8/2013
We tested and evaluated every police body worn camera system on the market. Only the Martel Vid Shield body worn camera gave us the night vision we need to bust the bad guys at night when they are active. The video is HIGH QUALITY and to be able to snap photos at the same price well its priceless. All we do is click the top large button which I can do even with gloves on and the unit comes from the off position right into record, so simple. The view on the lcd is perfect also. Police Body Cameras have been a huge advantage for us. We will always buy Martel video cameras in the future.
