Most people will be familiar with seeing security personnel with covert earpieces and two-way radios. A quick visit to the local supermarket or watching any police tv program invariably shows the use of two-way radio equipment. Now with the advent of body-worn cameras, security personnel are now able to record or live stream direct from their person with front facing cameras.
Security personnel will likely use a small and compact two-way radio so that they can conceal it on their person. In addition and the most critical aspect of two-way radio use is the earpiece itself, from semi-covert to covert to throat mics for high-noise environments. If the security person is not operating discreetly they will now likely wear a body-worn camera aswell.
Semi Covert Earpieces
Semi covert earpieces will be wired to the discreetly positioned radio, with the cable fed underneath clothing so that only the G or D earpiece or acoustic tube is visible.
Full Covert Earpieces
Full covert earpieces are designed for deep covert operations. Earpieces are available to fit all ear sizes and skin tones. Users are then able to maintain constant secure communication with their operations team whilst maximising concealment.
Throat Microphones
Security personnel in high-noise environments can use throat microphones. This offers a subtle and reliable communications solution. Due to the positioning of the microphone, the user’s speech is easily picked up.
Digital Two-Way Radios
The latest digital two-way radio systems provide improved radio solutions. Integration is now possible with CCTV monitoring centres, allowing digital encryption, GPS tracking, Voice recording, Text messaging and management of emergency alarms to name a few.
While two-way radios help security staff with their day-to-day activities in a timely and efficient manner, this does not assist when confronting suspects, however, the two-way radio industry has been at the forefront of body-worn camera implementation across many industries including the security industry.
Body-Worn Cameras
Body-worn cameras are integrated into the security industry for many reasons.
- Record real-time events
- Live stream to control centres
- Audio and Video recording
- Capturing evidence
- Protection against false accusation
- Stopping situations escalating
Security staff and other personnel are benefiting across numerous industries:
- Shops
- Construction
- Airports
- Events
- Bailiffs
- Healthcare works
- Paramedics
- Fire Fighters
- Parking attendants
- Police
All data captured from body-worn cameras can be collected and stored using Digital Evidence Management software. Digital evidence is stored on a secure network with keyword tagging for easy retrieval of information at a later date. which collects and stores digital evidence on a secure network. You can easily find data by keyword tagging an evidence file which can be searched for at a later date so the incident can be easily reviewed or provide evidence to law enforcement if necessary.
Body-worn cameras provide HD quality footage which can help bring offenders to justice and provide accountability to those using the body cameras.
