In the early 1990’s in-car cameras emerged as a new technology for capturing real-time contact between police officers and the public. Despite early resistance to the dashboard camera by officers the technology led to improvements in officer safety, accountability and reduced agency liability. As a result, in-car cameras have been widely embraced by law enforcement and have proven their worth in the courts and public relations.
Over the past few years, the Body Worn Camera (BWC) has emerged as the new technology for use in lieu of in-car cameras in smaller budget constrained departments while complementing dash cameras in larger law enforcement agencies.
Innovation in the field of Body Worn Cameras has redefined video capture implementation not just for law enforcement but private security and their operating procedures when BWC is deployed.
There are numerous reasons to use BWC as standard issue equipment. In addition to its normal use in the field many agencies are leveraging BWC in criminal investigations as a means of capturing evidence to decrease frivolous lawsuits. It provides the means to improve efficiency and effectiveness as an extension of police authority especially if force is required.
VisioLogix saw the potential benefits of BWC back in 2000 and began to develop solutions for private security, first responders and law enforcement agencies. Our initial entry into the market supported many third-party cameras which we integrated in our media management product C3 Sentinel.
After several years of deployment and use, customer feedback, comments, usage analysis and in-depth analysis of other products in the market space we have developed the next generation of BWC and video media management software addressing the concerns, requirements and needed enhancements to satisfy our customer base.
VisioLogix is proud to introduce the CITE V1x, M1G4, A1G3, and F1 Body Worn Camera with EMS Standard/Enterprise evidence management solution. Together the CITE Cameras and EMS Standard/Enterprise management system provide a comprehensive answer for your body worn camera needs and media management.

LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING
While the camera looks familiar, they are not the same. VisioLogix designs using feedback from multiple law enforcement agencies worldwide. VisioLogix engineers have addressed the rigorous requirements that law enforcement demands: Longer recording time between charging, single-button operations, secure access permission, annotate in the field, automated file upload using a docking station, customized button controls, and many other features. These and other features are designed and developed by VisioLogix and not available in similar-looking cameras.
