Officers have to wear these cameras for the duration of their shift and the batters can last about 13 hours. “The devices are capable of recording high quality video, even in situations where light is compromised such as in dark, interior spaces or at night” (Police Body). A long while to look through the footage, but knowing the right time it took place and where the incident happened, the right person will know where to look.
