Detectnology have been involved in the Headcam & Bodycam industry since the first model ever hit the streets back in 2001, a slightly cumbersome unit which weighed over a kilo in weight and recorded on to 90 & 120 minute hi8 tapes and on an average shift the tapes would need to be changed over three times.

Headcams and Bodycams were originally designed for Nightclub door staff to use on the doors of late night drinking establishments dealing with inebriated members of the public as a tool to prove that they were in their rights to deny them access to a venue in a non-aggressive manor and to avoid possible trouble later on which I'm sure was the case with  SIA door staff suffering verbal abuse and unnecessary confrontations on a nightly basis however since the arrival of the bodyworn camera these days are somewhat a distant memory.

Now this is not just a problem for door staff but a day to day issue for the Police, Traffic Wardens, hospital staff and many other customer facing positions throughout the retail and leisure industry who find it beneficial to wear such technology that will support their professional working integrity.

After testing bodycam / headcam equipment made by a number of different manufacturers from a few different countries we wanted to supply high quality equipment to our customer base which complements our current product range we stumbled across the Foxton Bodycam which on reflection impressed us immensely with its compact rugged design and build quality, ease of use and recording options that do not seem to be offered by any other device we thought it only right to tell everyone else that this is the only bodycam option you should be looking at as you will be wasting good money on any other unit.

There are quite a few different bodycam and headcam products on the market and a few of them promise unrivalled technology on paper but when using in the field we found many of these units to be temperamental and difficult to use and substandard manufacturing ensuring a short shelf life, another reason why Foxton stands out from the rest as it feels solid to touch, it looks as though every inch has be designed for a reason which is surely why the large sections of the  military and Police forces should now use this product.
