Helmet cameras allow users to film events from without using their hands. Also called bullet or lipstick cameras, they are often worn on an athlete's helmet to record the game from a close perspective. They can also be placed behind walls, mirrors, and other discreet places for security and surveillance. They usually connect to a larger recording device, such as a camcorder, where the video is saved for later viewing. Most helmet cameras run on batteries and are powered separately from the recorder.
Wired helmet cameras plug into the recorder one or two wires. The second wire is used to record audio and may be unplugged without stopping the recording.
They are commonly used for surveillance and stationary applications, since the wires can restrict the user's movement.
Wireless helmet cameras
Wireless helmet cameras use radio frequency (RF) or Bluetooth to connect to the recorder. They allow more movement than wired cameras, but they are prone to interference and can be interrupted by other wireless devices.
Resolution: Choose a high-resolution helmet camera to ensure clear, sharp images. Look for one with user-selectable resolution if you want to use it for different applications. Frame rate: Choose a helmet camera with a frame rate of at least 24 frames per second (fps) to accurately record movement and prevent blurring. For recording fast action, such as races and ball games, look for a frame rate of at least 30 fps.
