What is this "vid-eo chimera" you speak of? Some ancient technology from the Mayans? /j
But seriously, unless there's some reason to stream live, old tricks are sometimes still the best tricks.
Cops who know they are being recorded MIGHT behave slightly better. It is why they are so hellbent on never wearing bodycams ever again.
An SD card on the person of someone being thrown in the back of a van to have an "accident" on the way to booking? Not so useful.
It really just depends what shenanigans you intend to get up to. No method is perfect, and it's good for everyone to remember that there's multiple options available.
