Pre-record is the feature that separates serious units from cheap ones: the camera continuously buffers the last minute or two, so when you hit record you capture what happened immediately before, not just after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMounting decides whether it gets worn. Clips work on some uniforms and fail on others; a harness is more secure for physical work. Some units come with a docking station, and for a team that is worth looking for: one dock charges several cameras and offloads footage automatically at the end of a shift, instead of someone plugging in eight cameras by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOffline, WiFi or 4G\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn offline camera records to internal memory and nothing else. There is no network, no account and nothing to fail, and the footage comes off over USB at the end of the shift. For most single-operator use that is the right answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWiFi models add transfer without a cable, so footage moves to a phone or a laptop as soon as the wearer is back in range. 4G models go further and stream live over the mobile network, which is what a control room or a lone-worker setup needs: someone else can see what the wearer sees while it is happening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResolution follows the same logic. 4K gives you detail that holds up when a frame is enlarged, such as a face at distance or a plate across a car park. 2K records for longer on the same card and battery, and is enough for a general record of an interaction. Decide which of those two the footage is for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eVisible by design\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike covert cameras, a body camera is meant to be seen.
