SHWD Mini Body Camera vs Acuvar 64GB FHD Mini Body Camera

The Acuvar is the more versatile wearable: it is thumb-sized at 1.25 ounces, has a magnetic mount, a 360-degree rotating clip, seven extra mounts and a waterproof case rated to 131 feet. The SHWD is the simpler, more conventional body cam with a back clip, six infrared lights for night vision and motion detection, but it is a plain ABS unit with no waterproofing or mounting kit. Owners of the Acuvar rate it 3.6 out of 5, which suggests the tiny build and app control come with real compromises. Buy the Acuvar for mounting flexibility and wet or rough use; buy the SHWD if you mainly want a clip-on recorder with infrared night vision.

• Choose the SHWD if you want a straightforward clip-on body camera with infrared night vision and motion detection for doorbell-style or delivery work.
• Choose the Acuvar if you need a tiny, mount-anywhere camera that can go underwater and comes with its own mounting accessories.
