How to Leverage Body Cameras for More than Video and Audio May 28, 2020
In the midst of challenging times, agencies are looking for creative ways to reduce expenses without sacrificing public safety. By leveraging technology and our Nation’s only fully designated broadband network, FirstNet, agencies can increase productivity and reduce operational inefficiencies in an area that might be surprising to some — body-worn cameras (BWC). Traditionally, body cameras have been thought of as a device that simply records video and audio. The typical BWC system requires an officer to return to the station to place the device in a dock in order to upload each day’s footage or connect the device to external hardware that is not available in many situations. With FirstNet and Visual Labs technology, significant functionality has been added to the recording devices, simplifying the upload, storage, and review process without compromising security. This webinar will talk about stream-lining typical BWC applications, in addition to exploring new and creative ways to put these systems to use in non-traditional ways.
