1. A body-worn camera comprising:
an optical element, the optical element comprising an optical axis;
an image sensor, the image sensor configured to detect image data of a scene via the optical element, the image sensor comprising an image plane perpendicular to the optical axis;
a first display, the first display viewable along the optical axis in a first direction, the first direction oriented toward the image plane and away from the optical element;
an ambient light sensor, the ambient light sensor configured to detect a value corresponding with an ambient light level of the scene;
a processing circuit communicably coupled to the image sensor and the ambient light sensor;
a mount interface integrated with the body-worn camera and configured to couple with a provided mount interface of a provided mount, wherein the first display is integrated on a first side of the body-worn camera opposite a second side of the body-worn camera at which the mount interface is integrated with the body-worn camera;
a second display, the second display viewable along a first axis perpendicular to the optical axis; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processing circuit, cause the processing circuit to execute operations comprising:
recording, via the image sensor, the image data;
detecting, via the ambient light sensor, a first value corresponding with a first ambient light level;
decreasing a first brightness of the first display responsive to detecting the first value;
detecting, via the ambient light sensor, a second value corresponding with a second ambient light level, the second ambient light level greater than the first ambient light level;
increasing the first brightness of the first display responsive to detecting the second value;
decreasing a second brightness of the second display responsive to detecting the first value; and
increasing the second brightness of the second display responsive to detecting the second value.
