Protecting Frontline Workers
Firefighters are one of the first services on the scene in an emergency situation and we rely upon them to provide critical life saving operations.
However, there has been a sharp increase in instances of anti-social behaviour directed towards them as they attempt to protect and preserve life.
Statistics released by the NFCC show that:
930 firefighters were attacked while on duty in 2021
These attacks resulted in 54 injuries
18% of incidents involve missiles and objects being thrown at firefighters
Attacks soar around bonfire night
Because of these shocking statistics, there are widespread calls for Fire and Rescue teams to be fitted with body cameras.
Enhancing Worker Safety
The distinctive forward-facing screen on WCCTV's body cameras plays a significant role in de-escalating conflict. When individuals are aware they are being recorded, their behaviour dramatically improves.
Small, discreet and lightweight, WCCTV's body cameras are barely noticeable to the wearer once they are attached. Despite the unit's compact size, it contains market-leading functionality and features.
The device's 1080p video recording capability means you will capture high-quality video evidence, whether for police investigations, identifying individuals for convictions or training employees.
The optional extended battery pack easily clips onto the bottom of the Body Camera, providing an additional 8 hours of run time, making it ideal for applications beyond the usual daily working pattern.
All footage captured on a WCCTV Body Camera is encrypted to AES 256-bit standard, making it completely secure and inaccessible to unauthorised users.
WCCTV’s cloud based Evidence Management Software (EMS) provides simple and secure management of videos taken from a WCCTV Body Worn Camera.
Safety for frontline workers
Fire and Rescue departments across the UK are implementing body worn video solutions to gather accurate, reliable accounts of operations, rescue missions and interactions with the public.
Aside from the operational benefits they offer, body cams are becoming increasingly vital in the fire service as more and more firefighters have experienced an increase in both physical and verbal attacks.
Our robust and durable body worn cameras provide frontline teams with valuable evidence to support fire investigations, as well as aid criminal investigations and prosecutions. Additional benefits include:

Products and Extras
Easy and Convenient
We can provide Body Cameras on a rental basis for your emergency response Fire or Rescue team, making the procurement process easier and allowing you to hire equipment only when you need it.
When renting our Body Worn Cameras, there's no need to worry about setting them up or storing the devices after their initial use, just send the equipment back via courier and we'll handle everything else.
We have a dedicated Body Camera technical support team based in the UK so in the event that you need help during the duration of your hire, you have peace of mind knowing that an expert team is on hand.
Long-term Benefits
Body Cameras ensure that firefighters, emergency responders and rescue teams feel safer when working as the cameras act as a deterrent to any situation with the public that may become abusive or threatening. Purchasing Body Cameras is a one-time investment in the security and safety of your team, eliminating rental fees and leading to cost-savings over time.
Owning Body Cameras demonstrates long-term commitment, which will make staff feel safer in the field. They record and gather evidence helping to document incidents from the wearers perspective, leading to improved response efficiency.
With all staff using the same device type, it reduces the need for regular training and ensures seamless operation and familiarity with using the unit itself, the Evidence Management Software and evidence gathering procedures. By not having to rely on rental agreements, you can be rest assured of continuous operation and protection with minimal down-time disruptions.
