In January 2019, Motorola solutions added a growing industry to their technology portfolio. Body worn cameras. Motorola purchased VaaS who are a parent company of Edesix. Edesix are one of the industries most recognised body worn video manufacturers. Their range of cameras can be found in a variety of industries and environments. Their prestigious customer base speaks volumes for their products. More on this later.
Whilst the use of body worn cameras is not something new to many people, Motorola now having a finger in the BWV (body worn video) action, shows how industries and times are changing. Hytera also are a radio manufacturer that have produced their own bodycam/radio combined. It does not take much searching online to find an abundance of bodycams and understanding the difference between a camera that is £40 over a camera that is £400 can prove confusing. There is a lot more to this than simply getting what you pay for.
There are strict and stringent rules around data protection when using and processing footage obtained by a BWC (body worn camera) and many simply choose to overlook these points. Whilst a cheap camera on eBay or a marketplace like Amazon may have good reviews and seem like it has good video. Where your money should be spent is on a system that protects you legally. Edesix have industry leading, video management software that provides extensive and comprehensive accountability to not only the camera operator but the business as well. This kind of criteria is crucial when evidence is presented in a legal situation, such as court hearings.
In August 2019. The UK Home Office released new guidelines for the use of body cams to tighter regulate their use and also to ensure transparency between the data controller and to ensure operators are not operating in an unfavourable manner. August also proved a new legal ground for bailffs and debt recovery agents who now MUST use body worn video devices when carrying out their duty. The Edesix cameras are the best CCTV body cam for this.
If you take out the Motorola factor from the discussion of body cameras and look at Edesix as a brand and manufacturer, their real industry competitors are the likes of AXON, Reveal and Pinnacle. Both Reveal and AXON are used by a number of police forces and ambulance services in the UK, not to mention Edesix equipment itself. Whilst the likes of Hytera are one of the first radio manufactures to come into the market with their own bodycam / radio, you have to look to the market leaders to understand the technology and get real feel for camera comparison. Edesix were founded in Edinburgh in 2002 and develop both hardware (cameras) and the software themselves.
