The challenge
Lancashire Constabulary's soon-to-expire camera system was presenting several obstacles for the force. The sign-out process was inefficient, with officers having to manually tag footage in Pronto upon returning to the station - a process prone to delays and inaccuracies. Access to footage was also restricted to a single station computer, upload speeds were slow, and a declining number of cameras frequently left officers without this vital resource.
The solution
The force deployed Motorola Solutions VB400 body cameras.
Training was a quick and straightforward process due to the system's ease of use. The deployment included VideoManager - for viewing the body camera footage - and its corresponding app, the VB400 Companion.
The impact
With the VB400 Companion app now embedded within Pronto, Bluetooth connectivity enables officers to capture, tag and report on body camera footage in real-time. They can create comprehensive and immediate incident documentation - directly from the field.
The VB400s have an automatic 30-second video pre-recording feature, ensuring officers don’t miss the start of an incident unfolding.
The VB400s can record for up to 12 hours of footage on a single charge. And when officers return to their stations at the end of their shift, the cameras are docked for charging and automatic footage upload - a process which takes a matter of minutes.
The VideoManager Digital Evidence Management desktop application integrates seamlessly with the force’s evidence management systems, allowing officers to view footage on any computer.
The highly available solution is improving evidence capture access and management, as well as accuracy, quality and transparency.
