With a recording resolution of 1080P at 30 frames per second, the LE920 records crystal-clear video and has the option of recording at 60 frames per second at lower resolution.

Passive broadband traffic probes

Subsentio launches the Subsentio 1GB and 10GB Safe Harbor sProbes, devices that significantly reduce the cost of compliance with the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA). The new Safe Harbor sProbes deliver the highest levels of reliability and performance in supporting court-ordered surveillance of criminal and terrorist suspects, at a fraction of the cost of competing lawful intercept solutions. They are designed to meet the needs of broadband service providers confronting the burdens of exponential customer demand for bandwidth, new capital expenditure to support faster networks, and rising volumes of court orders for lawful intercept. These probes are configured and managed remotely to perform intelligent, passive interception of targeted broadband traffic and then route evidence to a law enforcement agency’s monitoring center for analysis.

Mobile disposal system for energetic and toxic materials

Dynasafe offers the D-100, an ecofriendly alternative to the practice of open field burning for the disposal of energetic materials (ammunition and fireworks), toxic substances, and narcotics. This product provides law enforcement with the opportunity to safely dispose of these materials in the confines of their own premises, minimizing the storage and transportation risks associated with the disposal of these hazardous materials. The thermal heating system of the D-100 is able to process 60 kg of 9 mm cartridges per day. It also features Dynasafe’s explosive containment technology to protect the operator from a sudden detonation of an unstable energetic substance. It is fitted with a multi-filtration system that prevents harmful toxic, carcinogenic gases and narcotic fumes—produced during the disposal process—from escaping into the atmosphere. The system also includes a basket feature that separates the lead from the brass, providing a recycling opportunity to the end user.

New body-worn camera donation website

WOLFCOM, a leader in the police body camera industry since 2011, is pleased to announce the launch of BodyCameraDonations.com. BodyCameraDonations.com is a website geared toward helping law enforcement agencies with a limited budget invest in WOLFCOM body cameras by receiving donations from the general public. The inspiration for creating the website was due to a large number of individuals and community organizations that purchased WOLFCOM body cameras and donated them to their local law enforcement agencies throughout the years. The website allows police departments that want body cameras, but do not have sufficient funds to buy them on their own, to register for donations from the public. There is no cost for departments to register or receive the body cameras, and there are no hidden fees or additional software or video storage requirements. Individuals and organizations can donate funds directly toward their local departments or a general fund. Donors are able to remain anonymous if they choose. All local, state, and federal agencies in the United States are welcome to register. Departments will be notified after a donation has been made or when donations become available from the general fund.

Software and server update

NetMotion Wireless announces the release of Mobility 11. This latest release adds five additional languages to the software to better meet the needs of workforces everywhere. In addition to English, Mobility client software is available in Japanese, French, Italian, German, and Spanish. It also expands the operating system coverage to include OS X, making the company’s software available across all major mobile and desktop platforms. A Mobility 11 server is up to twice as fast as its forerunners and allows 10,000 authenticated users per server—six times more than previous releases. Increased throughput and capacity offer system administrators the following advantages: lower operating costs by using off-the-shelf or virtualized server hardware, or private or public cloud infrastructure instead of costly, proprietary hardware appliances; servers and pools that support significantly greater peak traffic loads; and deployments that can be simplified by reducing the number of servers while maintaining capacity or accelerated by adding servers.
