Body Worn Cameras at Height of Miniaturization

In today’s world of miniaturization, body worn cameras, along with just about everything else, have gotten almost so small that they can be virtually undetectable by the naked eye. A prime example of that is the new interchangeable button/screw camera set that is not only high resolution, but color as well. These little beauties run on a simple nine-volt battery pack and come with an on/off switch.

Another great way to use body worn cameras is by using the wireless cell phone version. It comes in a flip style phone and contains a wireless CCD color camera. With only a 4.3mm pinhole lens, no one would suspect that your cell phone is actually a camera because it doesn’t have the telltale large lens opening that regular cell phone cameras have. Plus, this cell phone camera can transmit up to three hundred plus feet.

Better still, who would suspect that little pocket pager you have in your hand, of being capable of documenting a video of whatever is going down or whoever is up to no good? And this discreet little color pager has an even smaller 3.6mm lens and comes complete with easy to use plug and play operation that you will love.

Another way that miniaturization and covert has come into to play is through the body worn cameras that come concealed inside a pair of sunglasses~Another way that miniaturization and covert has come into to play is through the body worn cameras that come concealed inside a pair of sunglasses}. But these glasses are great to use in more areas than just the sun. They come with interchangeable tinted lenses that range from dark, to blue, to nearly clear. So that no matter if it's day or night, inside or out, you can use them to catch all of the action using a tiny pinhole camera that works great along with a pocket DVR, and there is no distortion from the lenses either.

Other than opinions, what are the advantages of CCD or CMOS Sensors in video cameras?

Ive found that you could ask 20 ppl a question, and come up with 20 different opinions on what MUST be done, so Im hoping for some logisitical answers as well thank ya folks

The imaging chips are the retina of the camcorder.

Whether CCD or CMOS, they both have the same function. The trick (in my opinion) is to get the largest total area avaiable (what you can afford). The larger the area, the better off the imaging will be.

Are “3CCDs” necessary? Probably about as much as 3 CMOS. The larger area (regardless of the technology) combined with the size (diameter) of the camera lens (bigger is better) means more light can be brought in.

Charge Coupled Devices

have been around for a while.

3CCD technology is good.

CMOS is newer

and uses less power – which increases battery life.

3CMOS camcorders work fine. My next camera is expected to be a Sony HVR-V1U.(3CMOS). I currently use a Sony HDR-HC1 (1 CMOS). I plan to keep and use the HC1 with the V1U.

I have also used the Panasonic DVX100B and HDX200. Both are 3 CCD cams. I like them both.

If you are shooting with multiple cameras, it is best to use all the same camera model… and when you can’t use the same model, white balance against the same card, under the same lighting conditions and do what you can to ensure that the cameras all look the same, most “normal” people won’t know if you shot with 1 CCD, 1 CMOS, 3CCD or 3 CMOS. And they won’t care, either.
