Artificial Intelligence is a highly-advanced technology that is guaranteed to generate a lot of buzz around anything it touches, and it couldn’t be any different with police body cameras. Some of the major police camera manufacturers have started investing in such technology in an attempt to facilitate police work, but some people have a different perspective on the matter.

As the market for police body cameras grows globally at an exponential rate, manufacturers have to work extra hard to keep up with the high demand. In most cases, that means using cheaper components and having less strict quality control. Seeing as about 99% of all police body cameras in the world are manufacturers in China, all the components in those cameras are also made in China, and that’s not a good thing.

Wanting to try out newly released technology is ingrained in human nature, but this practice can come with some high risks, especially when these new gadgets are tools used by law enforcement agents. In the past years, many Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled police body cameras have been released, and now many police departments think that’s an absolutely necessary feature. While having cameras that connect wirelessly to computers and other devices makes officers’ lives easier, it also opens new doors for security flaws, as hackers can easily infiltrate wireless-enable police body cameras to tamper with evidence.

The amount of police body camera manufacturers out there is overwhelming, meaning law enforcement agencies have many options to choose from when shopping for body cameras. But that doesn’t mean most of them are high-quality products. Some manufacturers seem to not have a comprehensive understanding of their customers’ needs, missing some key aspects of what features their products should have and how they should be manufactured. Mounting on the body is one of the biggest issues police body camera manufacturers face, and most of them don’t seem to be trying to fix it or still haven’t found a way.

With the overwhelming increase of interest for Police body-worn cameras, the Wolfcom 3rd Eye is better than the rest of the body-worn cameras on the market for several reasons. More than just the average body worn camera on the market. It is a fact that the Wolfcom 3rd Eye was the very first body-worn camera to record in 1080P full HD. The 3rd Eye Body worn camera system has specs that are more advanced. Being the only camera with the exclusive OTR switch (one-touch record) makes it even easier for Police officers to start recording video and audio because they already have the OTR switch in the upright position making it ready to be activated at any moment. Officers will never miss any type of situation.

Police officers have their lives on the line every single day fighting for justice, and although a lot of people disagree and think that police officers simply abuse their powers, it is a necessity to have such a force protecting our streets and protecting our citizens. Without the police, we would live in anarchy and everything would be possible and visible. Let’s be completely honest here: some people don’t commit murder because it is illegal and because they are afraid to get caught. This should never be the case, but unfortunately, it is, and if the mindset of our society doesn’t evolve past murder and death, we evolve at Wolfcom.
Body cameras are considered to be luxury goods by many people, but when it comes to police body cameras, it’s a different story. Nowadays, with all this hatred towards police officers and social media to ignite it even more, officers need to have body cameras on them at all times, not only to protect themselves against false accusations, but also to protect citizens in case of police misconduct.

Not every department can afford to purchase body cameras and in-car cameras, and when that’s the case, they have to cut corners. Cutting corners, in this situation, usually means going for a cheaper brand or purchasing a reliable body camera that also works as an in-car solution. Needless to say, the first alternative is never recommended, as more affordable products are, of course, made with cheaper parts, which means they’ll break down more often, needing to be replaced more frequently. The second option, on the other hand, is widely used and recommended. Although it’s not as good as having a two-camera system, it gets the job done for a more affordable price. In this article, we are gonna tackle the pros and cons of using a body camera as an in-car camera.

Police officers have been wrongfully accused of misconduct and crimes more times than we can count, and that’s no surprise to anyone. They are out in the streets, every day, risking their lives to protect us and make sure we live safe lives, yet, people take advantage of that. The police body camera industry was created not too long ago, when a few companies saw the need to bring those issues to light and come up with solutions for them in an attempt to protect the truth and bring justice to everyone.

Let’s cut to the chase: police body camera clips break a lot. Often, having a camera that records in HD is the main concern manufacturers have, therefore, everything else becomes secondary. Although that’s (kind of) understandable, pinching pennies has never worked out for any company trying to offer high-quality products. Ever. Maybe for non-law enforcement grade body cameras that would be ok because they rely on mounts, but our industry is different.
