The clamp of the body camera includes:

[0006] a positioning plate including two clamping blocks and a positioning protrusion, the two clamping blocks being located on opposite sides of the positioning plate, and the positioning protrusion being located on the upper side of the two clamping blocks; and

[0007] a clamping member connected to the positioning plate and rotatable relative to the positioning plate; wherein

[0008] The two clamping blocks can respectively extend into the two clamping grooves of the body camera and slide along the two clamping grooves, so that the positioning protrusion is clamped into the positioning groove of the body camera, and the two clamping blocks are respectively clamped in the two clamping grooves.

[0009] By using the above technical features, the clamp of the body camera can be detachably installed on the body camera, and can be clamped and fixed to the body camera by the two clamping blocks and the positioning protrusion. The clamp can be firmly installed, positioned, and quickly disassembled, and replaced with a different type of clamping member.
