1.0 Introduction 
The use of body-worn cameras (BWCs) by criminal justice practitioners (e.g., patrol, corrections, SWAT and other tactical responders) offers potential advantages in keep-ing officers safe, enabling situational awareness, improving community relations and accountability, and providing evidence for trial. These products are also sometimes called officer-worn or wearable cameras. In the last couple of years, there has been a dramatic increase in the criminal justice use, public and media attention and commercial offerings of BWCs. This market survey report aggregates and summarizes information on commercial BWCs to aid criminal justice practitioners considering planning, acquisition and implementation of the technology in their agency. In 2011, a brief market survey reference was published by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Sensor, Surveillance and Biometric Technologies Center of Excellence (SSBT CoE), Body Worn Camera Information Sheet (http://goo.gl/rSWrcV).[1] The following year, a report was published that highlighted topics for agencies to consider while pursuing BWC implementation, A Primer on Body-Worn Cameras for Law Enforcement (https://www.justnet.org/pdf/00-Body-Worn-Cameras-508.pdf).[2] This report updates 
product information in those earlier offerings.

1.1 About the NIJ SSBT CoE 
The NIJ SSBT CoE is a center within the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC) System.[3] The CoE provides scientific and technical support to NIJ’s research and development (R&D) efforts. The Center also provides technology assistance, information, and support to criminal justice agencies. The CoE supports the NIJ sensor and surveillance portfolio and biometrics portfolio. The Centers of Excellence are the authoritative resource within the NLECTC System for both practitioners and developers in their technology area(s) of focus. The primary role of the CoEs is to assist in the transition of law 
enforcement technology from the laboratory into practice by first adopters. 1.2 BWC Information Sought 
In December 2013, the SSBT CoE, through NIJ, published a notice within the Federal Register requesting information and comments from vendors in support of this market survey.

 

(https://federalregister.gov/a/2013-30246).[4] The following categories of infor-mation were sought for the various BWC systems contained herein. As needed, additional comments for the categories are also included here.
