[0002] In modern law enforcement environments, body cameras have become indispensable equipment, integrating multiple functions such as video recording and audio capture, providing important evidence support for law enforcement activities. However, in scenarios where additional lighting is required, camera flashes are often used as flashlights.

[0003] Because photo flashes are primarily designed to emit high-intensity light for a very short period of time to help capture clear images, they consume high power and have a short duration. When used as a flashlight for extended periods, the continuous high-intensity operation generates significant heat, which not only overheats the flash itself but can also damage surrounding components such as the lampshade through heat conduction, shortening the device's lifespan.

[0004] Furthermore, when using a flashlight as a torch, its intense, concentrated light can easily create a halo around the camera lens, affecting not only the clarity of the image but also potentially interfering with law enforcement officers' accurate assessment of the situation. This halo phenomenon is particularly noticeable at night or in low-light environments, affecting the quality of images captured by law enforcement cameras.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a law enforcement recorder with a flashlight function to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
