Edesix, a global market leader in body worn camera (BWC) solutions, is to showcase its new WiFi enabled VideoBadge, the VB-300 Series, at DSEI (Defence & Security Equipment International), the world’s largest trade show for the security and defence sectors.
Multiple uses and applications
The VB-300 series is a body worn video camera styled like an ID card holder. Its simple operation makes it extremely versatile and suitable for all types of users and applications. Key features of the VB-300 series include:
- WiFi capability which allows streaming and uploading of video in real-time.
- Extended battery life – the VB-340 can record for up to 14 hours of continuous video coverage, with up to 96 hours of battery capacity when on standby.
- Extra wide angled lens, giving a 1300 horizontal field of view.
Complementing the VideoBadge is Edesix’s VideoManager; a slick, user-friendly and highly functional video management software suite. VideoManager is web-based, and suitable for handling, editing and sharing your captured footage. It comes fully equipped with state-of-the-art features, such as redaction, to prepare and share evidence-ready footage without extensive training or expensive resources. VideoManager is a secure platform, equipped with encryption keys to protect data upload and allow a comprehensive audit trail, as well as implementing sophisticated multi-level role-based access controls. This allows close monitoring of which users can view, edit, share or delete footage.

“All the studies examining body worn video cameras show they make a real difference in protecting frontline staff and the public,” explains Richie McBride, CEO of Edesix.
“Body Worn Cameras help prevent crime and anti-social behaviour, and record unbiased evidential footage for criminal prosecution. There can be no doubt that cameras deter aggression and in many cases eliminate the need to activate a panic alarm or radio during an incident. When members of the public know they are being recorded, their behaviour tends to change to a more positive attitude. BWC’s also help staff feel safer and more protected.”
