So, you've captured some vital footage with your bodycam. Now what? Getting that precious video onto your computer is crucial for review, analysis, or archiving. Don't worry, it's usually a straightforward process!
Most bodycams use a standard USB connection. Simply plug your bodycam into your computer using the provided USB cable. Your computer should recognize it as an external storage device, just like a flash drive.
Once connected, navigate to the bodycam's storage through your computer's file explorer. Look for a folder labelled 'DCIM,' 'Video,' or something similar. Inside, you'll find your video files, typically in MP4 or MOV format.
Now, simply drag and drop the files to a folder on your computer. Consider creating a dedicated folder for bodycam footage to keep things organized.
If your bodycam uses a MicroSD card, you can also remove the card and insert it into a card reader connected to your computer. This method can sometimes be faster than direct USB transfer. Always safely eject the storage device from your computer before disconnecting your bodycam or removing the MicroSD card to prevent data corruption. Happy transferring!
