Transcend DrivePro 30 Body Camera: Record Your Surroundings with Professional Quality

J. Renteria: The camera has decent battery life, and it is nice that the internal memory is accessible via standard USB external storage protocols. The mounting clip is fairly sturdy and does offer some rotation options that help with mounting it on your body.

The image quality is okay, but surprisingly bad for a unit this bulky. The night vision on this is no good unless you are going to be in a spot where the lighting does not change frequently, and even then you lose a ton of detail. The microphone is sensitive enough to get the audio you probably need on it, and the audio is relatively noise free.

On the downside, the user feedback is terrible. There is one LED they use for multiple statuses so it is difficult to just look at a glance and see what the camera is up to. They put a non-standard USB connector on the camera, so you can't just use one of the many USB cables laying around to charge or pull data off the unit. Additional cables are expensive compared to USB 2.0 cables, and they are not readily available.

Speaking of charging, the unit is very picky on what power source it will charge from as well. So you can't expect to just carry the cable with your kit and...

Pèche: I'm really pleased with this product.
It is easy to use and ensures I get a record of any negative or unpleasant interactions.
I'm am older person and feel less able to be and feel safe but should anything happen to me there is a visual record.

Luca: Ottima bodycam, con circa 7 ore di autonomia, modalità buffering per rimanere in stand-by e, una volta avviato il video, memorizzare l’ultimo minuto registrato in buffering.
Viene fornita con una clip che va bene per cintura. Per attacchi magnetici o adesivi bisogna acquistare il kit a parte.
Possibilità di impostare anche una scritta, come un numero di matricola, che rimane impressa nel video o foto.

Bo: The body pro app is a joke because the live view speed is useless given it's speed of about 0.2 frames per second. That is correct, about every 5 seconds the image is refreshed! If you are wearing a body cam for your protection, you would want to be able to transmit and record the live stream remotely. Forget about it with this camera.

Datafoo: First off the instructions are horrible. They do not explain how to properly activate the recording function (double press the power button) or deactivate (again double press the power button). There is no indication of function when in incognito mode as it doesn't vibrate or beep to tell you it's started recording. Mine locked up right out of the box and wouldn't respond to any button presses, wasn't able to be reset and was rendered fully useless. Prior to that it wouldn't begin recording upon button presses and took me 4 hours to even get it somewhat functional with lockups taking 2 hours a shot before it would begin to function again. I bought this because of the brand being transcend but it's super buggy and unreliable. There is no way this is enterprise quality for LEO use because the times you'd need it, it wouldn't work.

Thelma: Transcend is a great company, good customer service and high quality products. This is the second Body cam we have purchased from them. We really appreciate this model, long battery life, excellent video quality and audio is improved over the 10 model. Very reliable camera and easy to use. Thanks Transcend for another high quality reliable product!

Amazon Customer: I'm a LEO and was looking for a cheaper body cam value wise with quality. No Chinese software here. So far I'm impressed. Excellent quality in the camera, the app is easy and impressive. Very few buttons with a large recording on the front. I think this is exactly what I was looking for.

Wayne Pullen: Great camera does exactly what i was hoping and that’s as described..very pleased so far! I have the pro 10 this upgrade was well worth the convenience of the videos on demand to phone! Camera is three times heavier than the 10 model so definitely need solid clothing to keep the right recording angle

Amazon Customer: UPDATE: so while the unit is still fantastic, there are some bugs in the software, and the battery barely lasts 6 hours without needing a recharge. Removing one star due to this. Needs to last at least a full eight hour shift.

So there's a little bit of a back story I'd like to share after the review of the Drivepro Body 30. This was purchased for an evaluation to see if they would be as dependable as what our agency has been using (Body 10.)

Upon receipt, I set up the camera via windows software, downloaded the App to my iPhone, and then began the evaluation. This Body worn camera is FANTASTIC. It literally blows the doors off the Taser Axon, and is quite the upgrade from what we have - the Drivepro Body 10.

Construction seems more robust, U/I is improved, pre-event buffering is flawless AND it includes audio in the buffering which is HUGE!!! The video and audio quality is exceptional, and night vision is flawless, although if instances of bright-dark-bright-dark exist, it will stop switching between night vision and non night vision, making a guess which would be best.

In all this a solid unit, and it is very underpriced for its features and build...
