Auto-Activation through CAD—Activate Body Cameras and In-Car Cameras
Merging Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) with BodyWorn body cameras and RocketIoT in-car video for enhanced automation. As CAD calls come in, they get automatically assigned to an officer. As that officer approaches the incident location, their BodyWorn and RocketIoT in-car video begin to record, tagging all video, audio, and metadata together with that incident number in the background. CAD Activation allows officers to be more productive and focus on their jobs, ensuring that video is recorded when it is needed. CAD Activation is an exclusive feature of Utility, Inc.
Utility, Inc. develops the smartest body-worn technology in the world, incorporating real-time communications for the best situational awareness possible during the most critical times. Unlike other body cameras, BodyWorn has automatic recording triggers based on policies, officer down reporting and alerting, live video streaming, and secure automatic wireless offload to AWS cloud storage. Utility’s BodyWorn video, audio, and metadata can be accessed through its cloud-based digital evidence management solution, AVaiL Web. Utility’s other solutions, Rocket IoT in-car video and Smart Redaction application for releasing video to the public, also leverage AWS cloud storage. Providing mission-critical mobile intelligence.
