A helmet camera is also called a micro-video camera, a lipstick camera or a bullet camera. These bullet cameras attach to a helmet and can record visuals from a person's “point-of-view” with no hands necessary to work the camera. These types of camera have been used in various industries, from skydiving to football, skateboarding and motorcycle. Tactical helmet cameras are used for hunting, games and other strategy-oriented sports. Helmet cameras have also advanced to a much smaller size in recent years, roughly the size of a pen.

Helmet Cam Review

There are many vendors, online and retail, and all over the world that are now selling helmet cameras. Most of these helmet cameras are of the small security models, designed for low-light scenes and not exceptional quality. In security situations, detail is not always important, hence these helmet cameras
can be sold for cheap. Some small helmet cams connect to a digital non helmet camera, or a video recorder with input capability. Some models may require a power source, while others are wireless helmet cameras.

For example the camera made by HelmetCamera.com works with a camcorder, either digital or with RCA plugs. Your camcorder must have a video input or else video taping capability to function. From that point, you connect the helmet camera and microphone to the camcorder and record the images.

In previous years, helmet mounted cameras were such a novelty that image quality was of secondary important. But in modern times, now more serious athletes are careful to choose a helmet camera that records good quality and captures the spirit of their favorite sport in every frame. Similarly, higher quality motorcycle helmet cams are preferred by bike riders who want to capture their easy riding adventure on film. A helmet cam can capture these moments -- particularly a helmet camera that has higher image quality and special pieces for sports and motion capture.
