Action camera

Some examples of common places to mount an action camera are on a hat or helmet, on the chest, or on the handlebars of a bike or similar vehicle.

A typical action camera records onto a microSD card, and has either a Micro-USB or a USB-C connector.

In 2014, worldwide action camera sales increased by 44 percent from the previous year and half of them have the capability to shoot Ultra High Definition at 4K resolution.

The Full HD category, meanwhile, is expected to reach $2.2 billion, with the surveillance/security industry driving growth.
