The camcorder is without doubt a very versatile piece of equipment used by investigators to gather evidence when used on investigations.
They can be used in static areas for example on a tripod recording in a closed off rooms or handled and used by an investigator on the move. We as a group recommend the Sony range of camcorders as they have the Nightvision mode which is great in low
 lighting conditions. We currently use Sony hardrive camcorders which can record unto seven hours of high quality footage and then can be transfered directly to a PC or Laptop to be viewed for any anomalies .
