New head and torso-mounted cameras have been launched by Edesix, a specialist in body-worn cameras.
The X-100 is a side-mountable tactical head camera, for attaching to headwear used by police firearms divisions. The X-100 offers automatic rotation of footage, so it can be worn on either side of the head without requiring configuration by the wearer to rotate footage.
The X-200 is for use on uniform vests and tactical body armour.
Both the X-100 and X-200 can capture 1080p video at 30fps, or simultaneously record and stream at 720p.
Both accessories are easy to operate. Recording is triggered by a toggle push-button. Haptic, audible and visual alerts leave the operator and the public aware of recording beginning and ending. Both cameras are available with a various connectors for attachment to different mounting options.
The X-100 and X-200 are accessories to be used along with the VideoBadge-300. They are plugged into a VB-300 with a two part cable, which allows a VB-300 to be worn 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.”
