Social misconduct is a subject of any neighborhood.  Many parents and concerned citizens are concerned about neighborhood safety and the conduct of their youth.  Numerous programs have been devised and put into action throughout the world to help keep neighborhoods safe and youth under control, but now in the UK, police are using a different method to keep the streets safe and happy.  Members of the Blackwood Neighbourhood Police Team are now fighting crime, and social misfits, with bikes and helmet cams.  The police are patrolling the streets armed with helmets – both for their physical safety and to capture necessary footage.  The police are using the cameras to capture acts of what the police consider to be anti-social behavior.  Conduct unbecoming of the citizens of this neighborhood can now be captured and documented by the local police.  The police are even using the footage in some cases to show parents proof of their children’s misconduct.  The helmet cameras are a new commodity in the police world.  Normally used for outdoor recreational activities, the Blackwood Neighbourhood Police force is using this fascinating technology in new and interesting ways.  These cameras are not a permanent fixture in the police force, yet.  The police have said that they are just testing the new technology.

The wide world of helmet cams might be a bit unfamiliar, but the V.I.O. POV 1.5’s capability could peak your interest. 

Just a lipstick sized camera, the POV 1.5 has many bells and whistles that should entice the adventurous hiker and amateur camera man alike.  The POV doesn’t shoot in true high definition, but does have a wide angle lens that captures 110 degrees of footage.  The camera captures colors well and is incredibly steady.  Even on hikes and climbs, the camera does a great job at capturing the footage you need.  It also picks up sound with surprising clarity.  The camera will pick up objects and people who are relatively close to the device. 

The POV is wrapped in plastic and metal.  This covering will ensure that your camera is well protected and lasts.  Amazingly, just 4 AA-batteries will sustain the life of this camera while exploring the wilderness.  The camera does lack zoom, however, and owners of certain computers like Macs have experienced trouble uploading the footage captured. 

Recently, the price went down about $200 dollars, making the POV 1.5 available for around $650.  Overall, the V.I.O. POV 1.5 is a good value for anyone looking for a quality helmet camera.
