Improving Safety
Our body cameras are proven to positively impact interactions between officers and the public by providing greater transparency and high-quality video evidence.
The presence of a body camera helps reduce the physical and verbal abuse civil enforcement officers are subjected to and reduces false complaints.
WCCTV has over 20 years of experience working with local authority departments and is the UK's leading supplier of mobile surveillance systems for public space monitoring.
We understand the unique challenges your teams face daily and have used our knowledge and experience to create a range of body worn video solutions that perfectly match local authority requirements.
Our market-leading body cameras have been designed for public interaction situations. They reduce conflict, increase transparency, and improve officers' confidence in any situation.
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.
Reducing Aggressive Situations
Public realm enforcement officers, lone and vulnerable workers are subjected to unacceptable levels of abuse. The proportionate use of body worn cameras has provided an increased level of safety, reassurance and evidence gathering.
Key uses for Body Worn Cameras across Local Authorities include:
