Smart Mounting. Utility's Generation 2 BodyWornTm solution mounts differently from Generation 1 systems. BodyWornTM is integrated directly into the officer's uniform where it cannot be dislodged or redirected. Body cameras merely clipped to the outside of a uniform have been shown time and time again to fail, fall off, get knocked off, and recordings fail and are missing. Secure Upload and Storage. BodyWornTM is designed to upload video as soon as possible, following configurations set by the department. This means that video can be uploading instantly over the wireless internet connection or stored locally until a connection can be made with a fixed mount wireless upload appliance (Utility's Smart Waypointrm). In fact, Utility's BodyWornTM can upload to the RocketloT TM, and, once the RocketloTTM connects to a Smart WaypointTM, it will upload its RocketloTTm video, that it has stored. Video Quality. BodyWornTM, always records video in high definition, in contrast to Generation 1 video evidence systems. Video as evidence demands high quality video, and using H.264 video compression ensures that the City of South Bend can record high definition, high resolution video in reasonably -sized files, saving on storage and transmission cost and speed. Real -Time Communications. Utility's BodyWornTM can communicate time sensitive information including BOLO, Amber, Silver and Officer Down alerts to the officer and to dispatch. Using the real-time, map -based situational awareness tools can improve officer safety and save lives. SMART REDACTIONS"". Utility has created a SMART REDACTIONsm technology that will enable the South Bend Police Department to save hundreds of thousands of dollars over time. Simply put, hours of manual redaction effort may now be accomplished in mere seconds, and this translates into considerable savings over time. Manual redaction of video, once considered a labor-intensive frame -by -frame scrubbing of sensitive content, has been replaced by a machine learning process where a user simply identifies what they want to redact or not and lets the technology do the work automatically. Time and labor saving resulting from this approach are dramatic. Unique to Utility's video evidence ecosystem, SMART REDACTIONS' can blur faces, arms, and hands without any user assistance and replace with an appropriate level of blur to provide a highly targeted effect. The system also lets the user select an object or a person to track automatically, even if the target exits and re-enters the frame, throughout the video, both backwards and forwards in video time. The user can selectively hide, keep clear, or even call attention to each tracked target individually. The user can add audio filters to silence one or
