Fire Cam OnCall GWLE June 2015 body camera
Fire Cam OnCall: Fire Cam’s OnCall is a camera designed for both law enforcement and firefighters.

Each battery can last over eight hours. The OnCall body camera has a built in 32GB memory so that every police encounter is accounted for. The camera also has a wide-angle lens plus infrared technology for recording at night, and up to a three-minute pre-event record, which can capture footage prior to activating the record button on the camera.

WatchGuard Vista GWLE June 2015 body camera
WatchGuard Vista: WatchGuard builds the Vista HD body camera here in the U.S. Constructed with cast magnesium, polyurethane rubber and a military-grade polyetherimide resin, the Vista is one of the most durable cameras on the market. The camera has a ultra-rugged, weatherproof design, nine hours of continuous, high-resolution recording, and simple transfer/charging operations. Add to this a 130-degree-wide field of view and an adjustable lens and the Vista quickly becomes a good camera for any agency. (800-605-6734; watchguardvideo.com)

Wolfcom 3rd Eye GWLE June 2015 body camera
Wolfcom 3rd Eye: Wolfcom’s 3rd Eye body camera is a multi-functional, multi-purpose law enforcement device that has a wide array of uses. The unit can be used as a standalone video recorder, as an in-car video system or attached to a police radio to use as both a body camera and speaker microphone with a PTT function. Police officers can use the body camera to record 1080p quality video, photograph crime scenes, record audio statements, peek around corners and, using the GPS, tag locations of tossed objects during a pursuit. (wolfcomusa.com; 323-962-1061)

Body cameras are becoming as common as other vital pieces of equipment for law enforcement officers. They are small, lightweight and capable of recording for extended periods of time. Be it interactions with the general public or those who find themselves on the wrong side of the law, the cameras have become a valuable tool. Body cameras are becoming more popular, and that trend is only going to continue growing.

In December of 2014, President Obama “proposed reimbursing communities half the cost of buying cameras and storing video, a plan that would require Congress to authorize $75 million over three years to help purchase 50,000 recording devices.” This is a huge push to get more cameras on the streets.
