8 factors to consider before purchasing body cameras

The eBook "8 Factors to Consider Before Purchasing Body Cameras" by Motorola Solutions explores essential criteria for public safety and emergency services evaluating body-worn camera systems. As body cameras become increasingly vital for transparency, safety, and accountability, the report emphasizes selecting the right solution that balances durability, usability, and data security.

Key considerations outlined include:

• Dependability – Rugged build quality and secure, uninterrupted recording.
• Integration – Compatibility with existing video, communication, and data platforms.
• Efficiency – Automatic uploads, tagging, and streamlined workflows.
• Information Security – AES 256 encryption and chain-of-custody controls.

With increasing incidents and complex compliance demands, body cameras like the Motorola V500 offer advanced features including LTE connectivity, pre/post-event recording, and seamless integration with Video Management Systems (VMS), helping Fire & Rescue Services (FRS) improve response, oversight, and trust.
