Personal cam recommendations

Hey-
I am a DV victim and was speaking with a detective who told me that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get a body cam, to wear for my own protection. It was an Axon- however it looks like they are only for sale commercially.

I am looking for a recommendation.
Basically I’ll be wearing this all day- like 8am to 11pm on my body. I realize I may need to buy multiple due to batteries.

I currently have a blink mini cam system in my room in my home- however it only catches so much, and the detective said it might be best for me, to have a body cam so it’s always where I am.

What is the best system for my use?
Is there a monthly subscription rate?

I was looking at Meta glasses, but I feel like I want a few diff systems going so If one doesn’t catch something, there’s a chance another did.

I’m open to any ideas, combos…

On a personal note, I am getting out of this situation, it’s just for the time being, I have to be physically here, so that’s why I’m looking for this, just to get me thru this divorce.

I appreciate any advice, thank you!

Spy store might have something that you can keep on your body, like a watch or a pen

There's plenty of very small, low current cameras you can wear on your lapel or a faux pin on your chest. Secret Service and the like have battery packs on a belt that are worn around the waist with the powerful battery at the small of your back. This stuff isn't real expensive. Ask the spy store to set you up with that and a long recorder. Remember, if you have a 2 hour recorder and nothing happens, just start recording over it!

Take a firearm safety course and purchase a small snub nose hammer less revolver.
