Insurance is a very important form of security. As human beings, we will usually do our best to ensure things go the best possible way for us. We may sometimes do the unusual to ensure that. Despite these efforts, we do not always have the assurance that things will go as planned. An expert in project management will tell you that it is important to make provisions for unplanned eventualities or risks. There are many ways to manage this risk but I will not delve deeper into that as it is not our bone of contention in this writeup. The point is that we should always have a contingency plan or a backup plan. The idea of installing the best dash cams or a dual dash cam is not to stop what is coming. It cannot stop an accident or car theft. It can, however help you get your car back after it has been stolen. In the case of an accident, it can help identify who is at fault or what genuinely caused the accident.

There are many other instances where we need a backup plan. It may not actually be because of the fact that we want to have something to fight back in the case of an eventuality. Sometimes, we may decide to keep a record for the sake of referencing or evaluation. Not every security or insurance measure is taken because you want something awful to happen. Sometimes it is good for you to keep records for the sake of referencing or evaluation. An example can be the use of a watch camera during an interview. A lot of people may find this creepy but it does not change the fact that it is efficient and not just effective. Unlike a camera placed at a specific position, you can move your hand to get full coverage of what is happening. The blind spot of this type of camera is the one you want to have at that moment. It is also good for getting a view of facial expressions at various times. Before I exhaust the essence of a watch camera during an interview, permit me to enlighten you on how you can use watch cameras during interviews.

Understand its features

This is not something you should start considering after you have gotten the watch. This is something you should consider before you even purchase the watch. You need to know if it has night vision if it is water resistant and so on. This way, you will be able to know when and where to use it. If it is something you intend to wear, a water-resistant watch may come in handy. If it is something you intend to place on a particular spot for use then its water resistance may not necessarily be a "must have" requirement. You should also know if it needs an external memory or has its own inbuilt memory.

Know where the lens is located

Now we are on track on how to use the watch after you have gotten it. Believe it or not, you will definitely goof if you do not identify where the lens is located on or in the watch. Do not just assume that it is located on the timer itself because that is a general rule for watch cameras. Where exactly is the lens located? Is it located at the top close to the "12" icon or at the bottom close to the "6" icon? With knowledge, you will able to effectively use it. You are not looking through the camera to see exactly what is in its view. So do yourself some good and identify where exactly the camera is located. This way you will reduce the incidents of taking random and useless pictures. You will also increase your chances of getting a spot on images or videos.

Know the way the controls work

The idea of using a subtle camera like a watch camera is to avoid making it obvious that you are keeping digital records of that interview. You should know which button does what and where it is located on the wristwatch. If you do not know this, you will not be able to quickly get to work and start making records. You may even fumble with your wristwatch and the person you are interview may even suspect that something is fishy. Before you start using it, ensure you know all about the controls on your wristwatch such that you can even use it in your sleep.

Ensure it is in optimal shape

How will you react or feel like if your watch gave a "battery low or short on storage" warning halfway through an interview? Sometimes, you may not even know this till later on when you check it to see what you have recorded. This is the point where you begin to admit that he who fails to plan plans to fail. Before you start using it, ensure its storage is empty, its battery is well charged and it is good to go. Skip any of this part and you may be missing an important footage goodbye. Do not gamble with this tip as you may be playing with something with serious implications.

There are tons of watch cameras on the market. You can get them from spy tech shops or even regular stores. They vary in prices as well as features. The best way to start is by picking that which is best for you. From there, you can start talking about how to use it.
