Introduction
The Body Worn Camera is a HD IP camera which can be connected directly onto a helmet Picatinny
rail mount, making it suitable for use in tactical situations.
The camera integrates directly with the Visual Engineering Body Worn Mesh Radio. When coupled
with the BWM it provides a complete end to end surveillance system.
The camera is available with either a 90º or 60º horizontal field of view and has exceptional
performance in low light conditions and is supplemented with built in Infrared or white light LED
Illumination.
The camera supports variable frame rate and bit rate adjustments as well as video resolutions,
which range from 1920x1080 down to 320x240. Integrated trigger capabilities and recording is also
supported. All of these parameters can be configured via a web browser interface.
The recording option features secure micro SD card storage. Access to the stored movie files is via
software or an FTP transfer software tool.
The camera also supports control through the ONVIF protocol such that the camera can be
controlled by and viewed on ONVIF compliant
The outer casing is CNC machined aluminium, this rugged build together with its IP65
environmental rating produces a camera that is fit for deployment into field operations.
The camera is designed to have efficient use of power, all connections including power and IP video
are combined into one Fisher connector on the underside.
A button mounted on the front of the camera controls the activation state of the LED Illuminator. At
initial power on the LED will switch on in low light levels determined by the integrated ambient light
sensor. Following power on if the button is pressed it will disable the LED regardless of light level.
Further presses of the button will cycle the LED to first switch back to auto state and then off.
Custom cable assemblies are available on request to interface with body worn radios from DTC,
Silvus and TrellisWare.
