I've began experimenting with "sousveillance" - using two commodity pieces of hardware:
- A GoPro Hero5 Session - which is a ~2 inch cube that shoots 4K: which I use for running, bicycling for transportation, and as a dash cam. The stabilization features works decently. ~$150.
- An iON SnapCam - https://www.amazon.com/iON-Camera-SnapCam-Wearable-Bluetooth/dp/B012X08L0A https://www.amazon.com/iON-Camera-SnapCam-Wearable-Bluetooth...
If you can find a good way of attaching this to yourself, it's not too bad. Fairly* low profile - about 2 inches by half inch. It can be purchased for ~$25.
Some things I am working to overcome is really on the "cloud" and "streaming" sides, as I feel it defeats the purpose to stream or upload to policed platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitch, etc.
- eth0up 8y agoI've found the Mobius B action cam useful and affordable for general sousveillance. It's a primitive interface, but can be configured via a text file across any platform. I presently have mine configured as a motion cam, which is sensitive enough to effectively use as a standard camera too. Vids and pics can be viewed through mini usb on a phone or pc. The B has a wide angle lens and the text file has an option for narrow view. I often use it as a rear facing dashcam when someone gets too aggressive, eg tailgating, etc. For home I use a webcam and the Motion program, which works quite well for me. Lots of options in the Motion config file.
