A body camera, bodycam, body-worn video (BWV), body-worn camera, or wearable camera is a wearable audio, video, or photographic recording system. Body cameras have a range of uses and designs, but are most well known as being policing equipment. Other kinds of body cameras include action cameras for recreation (including cycling), as well as within the world of commerce, healthcare, medicaluse, military use, journalism, citizen sousveillance and covert surveillance. The impact of body-worn cameras for law enforcement shows mixed evidence as to their impact on the use of force by law enforcement as well as the communities' trust in police. The publicized deaths of black Americans at the hands of police has been a large factor increasing support for body worn cameras by police personnel.
