SecuTraq F2 Bodycam

SMART Surveillance 2023 Surveillance, Products & Solutions

In today’s rapidly evolving world, security and protection have become paramount concerns for law enforcement professionals. The F2 body-worn camera (BWC) from Secutel, offers a comprehensive solution by combining cutting-edge technology and advanced features designed to enhance safety and surveillance capabilities.

At the forefront of its features is the F2’s ability to record high-quality video in 720p resolution, ensuring every detail is captured accurately. Additionally, its four infrared lights enable night vision, making it effective even in low-light conditions. This enables law enforcement officers to gather vital evidence and maintain constant situational awareness, irrespective of the time of day.

The F2 is equipped with 3G/4G and Wi-Fi connectivity options, and the built-in GPS ensures accurate location tracking, enabling efficient deployment and response coordination. Moreover, it boasts a Push-to-Talk (PTT) button, facilitating seamless cellular group radio communication among team members.

The F2’s portable and lightweight, wearable design enhances its usability. It can be effortlessly worn and carried, ensuring ease of use during intense field operations. Furthermore, the device’s IP68 rating and rugged construction make it waterproof, dust-proof, and resistant to impacts from up to 2 metres. This durability enables it to withstand the harshest weather conditions and challenging working environments, providing reliability when it matters most.

With its advanced camera system, including a main front camera of 20 MP, a sub-front camera of 13 MP, and a rear camera of 5 MP, the F2 captures clear footage from different angles.

Notably, the F2’s infrared LEDs further extend its surveillance capabilities by capturing visible contours within a range of 20 metres and clear footage within 5 metres in low-light or complete darkness. This feature significantly enhances the ability to identify individuals and objects in challenging lighting conditions, contributing to effective security operations.
