While the use of body cameras in the field is still widely debated for process servers, their use is becoming increasingly popular and the benefits are unmistakable. Below, we’ve compiled a list of some of the most highly recommended body cameras by the process servers who use them. However, before you invest in an expensive piece of equipment, check your local laws regarding cameras and recording a person’s voice and likeness without their consent.

What to look for in a body camera

We’ve laid out the basics, such as battery life and price, but ultimately what camera you choose depends on your specific needs. If your serves are on the riskier side, you may want a camera that is tamper-proof and durable. If you serve somewhere where it rains often, you may want a waterproof camera. If you take on a lot of serves at once, you may want a camera with lots of memory storage. There are lots of features included with the cameras below and it can be overwhelming as you're researching options. Do you really need built-in Wi-Fi and a flashlight? So before you begin your search, think about how you will use the camera and organize your priorities based on that.
