Body-worn cameras

Reveal Media has announced the launch of the RS3-SX body worn camera evidence system comprising an all in one, weatherproof, full high-definition video recorder with articulated camera and integrated evidence management software.

The RS3-SX system has a number of unique features with the most significant ones being the fully articulated camera, integrated software and front-facing screen.

RS3-SX’s camera articulation enables many more scenarios than other body worn cameras. It accommodates wearers of all shapes and sizes so that it films evidence, not someone’s shoes. By turning the camera around, it can also be used in-car, for handheld inspections and on table-tops for interviews etc. Simply unclip the camera from the mount and onto the uniform, and vice versa.

RS-DEMS digital evidence management system is integrated with RS3-SX to such an extent that recordings can be uploaded and managed by simply plugging it in. RS-DEMS (formally known as CARMA) has been used for over five years by many police forces and security organisations. It is a fully networked solution that provides file fingerprinting, a full audit trial, CD/DVD creation, full search and comprehensive access control.

RS3-SX’s front-facing screen not only allows the user to be sure the camera is pointing in the right direction; it has also been proven to be an effective deterrent. When the subject sees themselves being recorded they are much more inclined to modify their behaviour.
