Body-Worn Cameras & Its Purpose

The absence of proof has seen many cases left unsolved, or worse, solved incorrectly. This was an unavoidable problem in the past, but the latest technologies gave rise to gadgets that improve these conditions. One of them is a Body-worn Camera.

 What are Body-worn Cameras?

As the name suggests, BWCs are small cameras worn by front line/lone workers. With the help of a holster, it can be worn anywhere on the upper body to get clear photos and videos. Apart from that, these cameras can record audio too. Other features like online backup and night mode vary depending on the make and model.


Let’s go over a few points to understand their purpose.

 

Recording Evidence

This equipment has a front-facing, high-resolution camera that is capable of clicking pictures and recording videos. The officer can start recording while talking to a potential criminal or interviewing people.

In this line of work, any sentence could become a crucial statement as the case progresses. Since it stores all the recorded videos, you can revisit them anytime to get accurate information.

 

Collecting Clues

An investigation scene is full of clues. While the officers are trained to pick them up, some could initially go under the radar. 

The use of Body-Worn Cameras eliminates that possibility. Each video can be played back on a computer for a deeper look. You can also zoom in on photographs for additional data.

 

Safety of the User

All the potential users for bodycams face safety concerns. From getting unconscious with no support nearby to instances of aggression, the camera ensures the safety of the user by recording audio-video proof.

Studies have shown that people are less aggressive towards officers wearing a body camera. This is because they realise it will record all their actions which can then be used against them.

 

Promoting Accountability

The same rule applies to officers too. Their interactions with the public will be monitored to ensure that they treat everyone with respect and follow the correct protocol.

This improved accountability could be key to cementing trust.


 For Lone Workers

BWCs can be deployed for lone workers. This provides dual functionality, as you can monitor both their work and safety simultaneously.
