It used to be that the POV cameras fitted on helmets, while small, were still bulky and a bit unstable. This is because for it to be put in place, an external mount was required and all sorts of adhesives or Velcro were needed to secure it to the helmet. Older models had even bulkier battery packs that still impeded the action of the wearer even if their hands were kept free to carry other things or do what they want.

Now, however, wireless helmet cams have brought the new generation of wearable cameras to a whole new level. They are actually built into the helmet and have become as sleek and technologically-advanced as ever. Without the big bulk on your head, wireless helmet cams can now record all the live action without slowing down your movements. These micro video cameras, as they are also called, enable combatants, sports enthusiasts, firefighters, medics and other law enforcement officers to record action from war zones, sports arenas, scenes-of-the-crime and areas of natural calamities or other man-made disasters for purposes of leisure viewing, tactical review and inspection, investigative procedures and court evidence.

Aside from doing away with the bulk, state-of-the-art wireless helmet cams also come with a host of other features. For starters, these digital camera recorders come with private video displays for on-site viewing, shockproof and waterproof fittings and housing that make it usable for any geographic terrain, water environment (up to a certain depth) and weather conditions.

These cameras also feature on-screen menus for easy navigation, helmet vent configurations that can be adjusted according to your chosen modes and triple-axis pivot arms. These helmet-integrated bullet cams are also powerfully-designed to work in no-light or low-light conditions and as such can be used anytime of the day or night, on land or water, under it or in all places in between. And with resolutions that give crisp and clear videos, new generation helmet cameras also allow for wireless transmissions to off-site recording devices to make for safe and efficient video documentation, especially when the recording is used as part of official field operations.

Aside from the police or soldiers on the war zone, these lipstick cameras can be used by nature trippers, travelers or wildlife enthusiasts to capture the soul of something they love doing. Beautiful scenes from rarely-visited places, animals that are not seen in your local zoo or activities that you never ever get the chance to do in your home country-- all these can be captured in high definition and stored using these compact but powerful video cameras. Adventures on air or underwater are feats that regular individuals cannot do everyday. As such, they deserve to be captured on video to be later shared, relished and relived. With these bullet cams attached to your headgear, you not only get the chance to record yourself, you actually record the feelings-- exhilaration, fear, excitement-- that comes with the whole experience. Finally, since these cameras are compatible with most computer software and DVD formats, you are able to store these memories for a long time to come and share these with future generations.
