A “wearable camera” is a device designed to be worn by an individual, allowing for the recording of media from a first-person perspective. These cameras come equipped with various sensors such as a microphone, inertial measurement units, and an imager, making them a viable alternative to traditional cameras operated by another person. Body-worn cameras, a type of wearable camera, are primarily used for capturing video and audio data digitally.

Typically, these cameras consist of a microphone, “camera”, “battery”, and data storage unit, which can be either onboard or connected via a cable to the camera unit. They are predominantly used by police and special law enforcement agencies for surveillance purposes, enabling the capture of evidence and real-time data recording. The key driver for the growth of the body-worn camera market is the rising demand for transparency and accountability in police conduct.

The global wearable camera market can be segmented by type, application, and region. By type, it includes head-mounted, body-mounted, ear-mounted, and “smart glasses”. Applications of these cameras span across sports and adventure, security, healthcare, military and defense, among others.
