South Bend Police Department SBPD Body Camera/ In Car Video Camera Project Axon Body -Worn Camera Offload The offload methods currently available for axon body -worn cameras include the Axon Dock, or connecting the camera to a computer running the Evidence Sync application via a wi-fi connection. All communication between the Axon docking station will be conducted over 256-bit AES encryption. • Videos are automatically associated with the officer assigned to the camera; all metadata captured will be uploaded to Evidence.com, A S,HA-2 cryptographic hash function is applied to each MP4 video captured; this functions as digital fingerprint for each video captured. • As the MP4 video file is uploaded, it is broken into small blocks of data. At the completion of each block uploading, a SHA-2 hash function is applied to ensure authenticity and that data has uploaded in its entirety. • At the completion of the upload, the same method that was used to validate the blocks, a contiguous checksum of the entire file will be evaluated to ensure that the MP4 file has been uploaded successfully and identical to when it was recorded. • The SHA-2 cryptographic hash function is applied to ensure authenticity and that the complete file has uploaded. Axon body -worn cameras are equipped with Wi-Fi 802.1 In at 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz. In 2017, this connectivity will be enhanced enabling the cameras to automatically offload video and its associated metadata when a private, secure, wireless access point hotspot (WAP) is within range, without the intervention or action of a body -worn camera user or administrator. Axon Fleet Camera Offload Axon Fleet can offload video using one of the following three methods: • Dock and Walk - By removing the camera at the conclusion of the shift and docking the cameras into a wired Dock. • LTE/4G - Wireles,sly throughout the shift using an in -car broadband connection (such as LTE) ■ Wi-Fi - Wirelessly using an agency Wi-Fi network Wireless Offload The cameras can connect and offload over a variety of wireless network configurations. Axon Fleet can offload on 802.1 In Wi-Fi networks running on 2AGHz or 5GHz frequency bands. The preferred network configuration is 5GHz due to reduced interference and the greater density supported by this band. Networks secured by WPA2-PSK are supported. Axon recommends at least one access -point for every six cars. A wide variety of network configurations is supported, from a single flat layer 2 network to multiple layer 3 subnets, MPLS or point to point IPSEC tunnels. Axon Fleet can be configured to join specific Wi-Fi networks as specified by whitelist of SSIDs; in order to load balance across a multiple access -points with the same SSID, the camera joins the channel with the highest signal strength. The cameras will automatically begin offloading when they detect the presence of an agency installed store and forward server. This server runs as a Windows service and can be deployed on physical and virtual servers within the agency. Axons store and forward server accepts uploads from the Axon Fleet systems and allow high-speed offload of cars during shift change of the agency LAN. The servers then upload the videos to the cloud -hosted Evidence.com system over the next few hours. If an agency has sufficient WAN connectivity, the use of a store and forward server may not be necessary. 15. The Evidence Management Software has an interactive map -based interface where the location of video evidence is correlated to both the Officer and Vehicle. The Map Tracking feature works with the Axon Fleet cameras that are paired with the Axon View XL application. During video playback, the location shown on the map changes as the GPS position of the camera updates. Pausing the video will show the approximate address in the location field below the map. Markers, added to the video will appear as additional pins on the location map. Viewers can click on a pin to jump to that marker position in the video for easier navigation. Clicking on the MPH button in the player will allow users to toggle the speed overlay on the video (if this metadata is associated with the file). If an officer is also wearing an Axon body -worn camera that is paired to a smart device with the Axon View application, the officer's location will be captured in the event they leave the vehicle.
