Hytera VM750D body camera

Hytera’s latest body worn camera (BWC), the VM750D, is designed to capture, store and upload evidence such as pictures, video and audio recorded in the field. BWCs can play a vital role in building trust with the public by promoting better police officer accountability and by enhancing the transparency of incidents involving police and citizens.

The camera serves as a push-to-talk over cellular (PoC) two-way radio operating over 3G, 4G or WLAN networks. The BWC has two 1.5 W speakers to deliver clear audio during the call. It can also be paired with a narrowband two-way radio to act as a remote speaker microphone (RSM). After connecting the BWC to a radio via Bluetooth or a data cable, users can make voice calls by pressing the oversized PTT key. This helps reduce the burden on the user, as they do not have to carry another RSM.

The wide-angle camera allows users to capture more objects in a broader scope. Even at a distance of 1 m away, the VM750D can capture a person’s hand actions. The camera incorporates the multifunctional sensor that will automatically send an alarm to the control centre in case the camera is blocked, stays still beyond preset time, is disassembled without authorisation or the officer lies on the ground. This allows the dispatcher to know the conditions of the BWC in the field.

The unit supports global positioning configurations such as GPS, GLONASS, AGPS and indoor Bluetooth positioning. This means that even in places with poor signal availability, such as parking lots, tunnels, underground shopping malls and the like, it can still track the location of frontline personnel in real time. This capability can help end users complete tasks more conveniently and efficiently.
