BOBLOV KJ21 Body Camera, 1296P Body Wearable Camera Support Memory Expand Max 128G 8-10Hours Recording Police Body Camera Lightweight and Portable…

I trust this camera with my personal safety, it records well so that you have good audio.
It also records good picture quality.
It is super easy to operate and buying the SD card gives you all the memory you need.
I’m not somebody who is good with technology so an easy to use device is perfect.
I also bought the magnet attachment to fix it to my clothing so that it can be worn with any item of clothing.
It’s light weight and compact.
It’s good quality and I have worn it in the rain and at night when going to my car for work.
A single charge lasts for ages and you get all the clips in the box to attach to your clothing.
I bought this because I have a Neanderthal living near me who actually puffs his chest out with pride whilst his knuckles scrape along the floor behind him because he is genuinely proud of hitting women.
He has repeatedly damaged my car, made threats to physically harm me and kill my dogs, but the police won’t do anything, the landlord won’t do anything, won’t evict him, the council won’t do anything.
So now every time I leave my flat I put my body cam on so that when this situation escalates further I can record him physically assaulting me.
Just so I can show it to the police and they can tell me that there’s nothing they can do.
Not much point having laws in this country as nobody is able to uphold and enforce them.
But if you need a camera to record anything then this is the one for you.
I highly recommend this product

I have purchased 4 of these on Amazon, one was returned upon arrival due to UPS rough handling,
and the other due to hiccupping after almost a year of use—the latest one, was bought here in February 2023 for 80.00 USD. I also considered the Transcend BodyPro 30, but it’s more than 2x the price, but not 2x as good… I hear that tech support is non-existent too.
Boblov support is email-based, seemingly on Beijing time, and is slow and tedious, but it’s there at least.
Eventually, they will assist you.

Use a good memory card such as the Sandisk Extreme or higher.
Don’t use the supplied charger. Go with a 500ma or 1A charger, such as an Apple phone charger with an “A” USB port. Lower amperage charges slower but won’t cook your battery. 500mA is best…
Cheap adapters belong in the trashcan.

Set your resolution to 720p or 1080p maximum. 720p is the sweet spot here.
Don’t bother with 1296p as it seems interpolated to my eyes…

If you use a magnetic mount, tie a long shoelace as a lanyard, just in case.
You don’t want to scratch the lens or crack it.

For my 80 dollars, I simply can’t find a better bodycam than this.
Boblov has done a good job with the KJ21.

I’d prefer if the sound were better. Very difficult to make out verbal conversations captured by it. It’s also makes a lot of noise if touched or bumped while recording. But overall a decent recorder and functions well.

Has taken a beating so far with my line of work. Still going strong but have upgraded the memory card

The Boblov KJ21 1296P body camera arrived quickly and well-packaged the day after I ordered it. Also with it were a magnetic holder (see photo) and a 128GB micro SD card, both of which I had ordered separately.

The instruction booklet that came with the camera was, imho, absolutely useless and I resorted to watching a video on a well-known website to see how to complete the set-up. Here are the problems I faced with everything ‘straight out of the box’:

1. No indication in the instructions or on the camera about which way round the micro SD card goes into the slot on the camera. That can be a real nightmare if you guess wrong and get it stuck.

2. No indication that the camera has to be set to ‘on’ for video sound (it is stupidly factory set at ‘off’). I only found this out after scrolling through the menu following 30 minutes of footage which produced no sound.

3. The icons on the camera buttons are impossible to see without shining a torch on them. Black, slightly raised icon outlines on a black background isn’t exactly a clever idea.

4. No instructions on how to properly insert the clip into the slot at the back of the camera. I eventually got there, though, by working it out for myself (see photo) – but should I have actually been made to…?

5. The same clip is very difficult to press open to clip it onto the magnetic holder.

6. Wearing the camera on a tee shirt with the magnetic holder in place makes the camera top-heavy when in use. Being that it is summertime at the moment, in which we are in the middle of a heatwave, I have not tried the set-up while wearing my overcoat.

7. Scrolling through the camera’s menu is slow and laborious, and operating the scrolling buttons is extremely fiddly with my fingers.

8. Date can only be set to US-style (see photo, which shows 8 July 2022)

Having got beyond the above negatives, here’s the positives:

1. The inaugural footage that I managed to take was of good colour and good clarity at 1080.

2. I also took some footage indoors albeit on a very sunny day and the clarity was impressive.

3. Footage can be played back through the mini screen on the back of the camera in the first instance, which I didn’t know could be achieved when I ordered the camera. Perhaps that info was on the sales page and maybe I missed it. Either way, I like this idea.

4. The ‘bleeps and whistles’ on the camera can be annoying but, to me, they are reassuring that things are working. I did try turning them off and I didn’t think that was a good idea, so I turned them back on again.

5. The camera seems to be of tough quality plastic, so I am hoping for a long and successful relationship with it.

All in all, providing the camera lasts me for several years, I will not feel hard-done-by after spending a small fortune on this gadget and additional accessories. Initially I wanted it as security for when I am walking out and about but, I have also recognised a use for it when I am in the garden, to afterwards show family sceptics just how much work I do out there.

Do I recommend this camera? Well, yes and no. If you have a use for this type of camera and you have the budget then ‘go for it’. If not, well, it is what it is.

I bought this body cam to wear when I’m walking my dogs. Dog thefts are on the increase in my area. It’s heavy, well built and after a few days of wearing I managed to get the hang of the functions. I bought the Boblov harness to go with it and as you can see in the camera sits quite high on the chest. Because of the weight of the device it can ‘wobble’ when walking. I also have to twist the device to point forwards. But this is a feature and it can rotate on its fixings . . Imagine 11/12/1 O’Clock. The battery life is pretty good. I use probably an hour a day and I recharge once a week. There’s clear alarm when the battery is getting low.
