Police, facing increased numbers of lawsuits, and other considerations have been installing cameras and other recording equipment, to document the treatment of suspects, and others who they deal with on a daily basis. Police Cruiser cameras allow documentation of common traffic stops, as well as pursuit evidence and for safety review.
Video recoding systems have become more common in cruisers, and goverment grants have helped to pave the way towards a safer, more productive law enforcement program. Here are a couple of video security related items we feel translate well to the efforts of police documentation. There are more options other than these camera, and recording devices as well.
- This camera, the KT&C KPC-101CZH has a 16x zoom
function, and can be controlled by either controls on the rear
of the camera, or the hand held (wired) remote. Auto focus allows
the officer to concentrate on police duties rather than as a
videographer.
- Cost is under $500 and more information can be found by following the link on the image
- This Teklink MSVR-168 Unit is an inexpensive starting
point for departments with limited resources. Its 4 camera ability
allows for flexible implementation of video systems in the police
vehicles. The drive installed is designed for mobile use, and
can sustain normal vehicle motion shock levels.
- It is however, a starting point, and more advanced units are available as well. By clicking on the image you will be taken to a page with more information on this unit.
Purchase orders from (city, county, state, and federal) Government agencies are accepted.
