Edesix, the Body Worn Camera product company, has launched new head and torso mounted cameras. The X-100, pictured, is described as a side-mountable tactical head camera, for use on headwear as used by police firearms divisions. The X-100 offers automatic rotation of footage, meaning it can be worn on either side of the head without requiring user configuration to rotate footage.
The X-200 is a torso-mountable camera for use on uniform vests, tactical body armour or all-weather clothing. Both can capture 1080p video at 30fps, or simultaneously recording and streaming at 720p. Both accessories integrate into an evidence capture procedure, the product firm says. Recording is triggered by a toggle push-button and haptic; audible and visual alerts will leave the operator and the public aware of recording beginning and ending. Both cameras come with a choice of connectors for attachment to a range of mounting options.
Both the X-100 and X-200 are accessories to be used with the VideoBadge-300. They are plugged into a VB-300 with a convenient two part cable for removal, which allows a VB-300 to be situated under a uniform or on a belt pocket.
Richie McBride, managing director of Edesix, says: “We feel these new Body Worn Camera accessories really enhance what we can offer, and help provide a flexible solution to customers requiring a lightweight, multifunctioning camera. Body Worn Cameras are now making a real difference to the protection of staff, and the general public, across an ever-growing list of sectors, including security, retail, local authorities, emergency services to name but a few. The X-Series of cameras are already in use by UK-based police forces.”
