\"CODECAM<\/a>I spied a couple of police body cameras at SHOT Show 2015.\u00a0 One was the CODECAM <\/a>designed by HQ Industries, LLC.\u00a0 This is a low profile camera that can be carried in a uniform pen pocket or clipped to other items of clothing or MOLLE webbing.\u00a0 It even comes with a magnetic mount.\u00a0 HQ says theirs is the only camera with a built-in LED utility light.<\/p>\n

The CODECAM records video in 720p HD at 30 FPS and stores it on an 8 GB micro SD card, which can be removed for upload.\u00a0 Video is recorded, in color and with audio, to .MOV format.\u00a0 Over two hours of video can be captured.\u00a0 The lens of the camera has a 60 degree viewing angle.\u00a0 The unit is rechargeable by USB.<\/p>\n

CODECAM is activated by sliding open the lens cover, called the iLid, on the front of the camera.\u00a0 This cover also protects the lens when not in use.\u00a0 HQ says the iLid makes using the camera “mistake-free.”\u00a0 One could just say “foolproof.”\u00a0 We have pretty thick skins.<\/p>\n

\"CODECAM<\/a>\"CODECAM<\/a><\/p>\n

Weighing just 1.5 ounces (2 ounces with 360 degree rotating magnetic clip), the CODECAM is very small, indeed.\u00a0 Its body is made of high-strength nylon that is meant to take reasonably hard knocks.\u00a0 HQ Director of Development and designer Brian Quittner is a former police officer.\u00a0 He said the intent of CODECAM is to provide a very low profile police camera utilizing the latest advances in technology.<\/p>\n

On the bottom of the CODECAM are dual 10 lumen QuiqLite LED’s that shine white or red light downward for an officer to use instead of a flashlight for reading or writing in the dark.\u00a0 The lights are angled at 12 degrees to be slightly in front of the officer’s torso. LED’s automatically turn off after 10 minutes to save battery power.\u00a0 A strobe setting can be used for officer safety and in conjunction with a removable QuiqFlare diffuser.\u00a0 The strobe does not have the auto-off function.<\/p>\n

The CODECAM concept was taken from Quittner’s original Quiqlite pocket-mounted public safety light.\u00a0 Quittner said he came up with the original Quiqlite product as a result of dropping and breaking his handheld flashlight while writing a ticket.\u00a0 It inspired him to sketch up a solution to this problem.\u00a0 Camera and battery technology have now advanced to the point where a camera\/light combination can be miniaturized to this same small size.<\/p>\n

\"CODECAM<\/a> \"CODECAM<\/a><\/p>\n

Overall, the CODECAM has many useful features.\u00a0 Pairing the camera with LED’s increases the functionality of the unit.\u00a0 CODECAM has an MSRP of $200.00.<\/p>\n
