0 Visual Labs Response to Request for Proposal - SBPD Body Camera/In-Car Video Project General Notes: As discussed below, the Visual Labs solution uses an Android smartphone as the body worn camera recording device. This provides the agency with many options for hardware devices, all of which are off -the -shelf and non-proprietary. The exact model(s) of smartphone used can be selected by the agency. Accordingly, there, is not a unique specification sheet for the hardware deployed with the Visual Labs solution. Many of the answers provided below relate to the Kyocera Dura,Force PRO, a ruggedized smartphone that is very popular with Visual Labs clients. A specification sheet for that device is attached. If a different model of smartphone was chosen, some of the responses might be slightly different. With respect to the in -car video system, a second smartphone recording device would be mounted in a patrol vehicle, to serve as an in -car video system. At SBPID's option, the device could be connected to an LTE cellular network (see cost proposal in -car option two). The Visual Labs in -car video solution is very robust and cost-effective. However, we have noted that many cities, including Oakland, CA, Orlando, FL and Tulsa, OK, have recently eliminated their In -car video system due to officer safety, budgetary and/or usefulness concerns. Accordingly, we have provided separate pricing for the body camera solution, as well as two options for the in - car video solution so that SBPD can consider various alternatives. The following information is provided with respect to the requirements set forth in the RFP. A. Requirements -Meeting Specifications 1. With the Visual Labs solution, there is no need for an officer to return to the station to manually offload video. All body camera footage can be automatically offloaded (uploaded) from the field without any intervention from the officer. The recording device can be, but does not need to be, within the "bubble" of the in -vehicle WIFI hotspot for the upload to occur. Further, because footage can be uploaded without the need to connect to an external hardware device, the automatic upload feature can also be easily used by officers on motorcycle, bicycle or foot patrol, or otherwise when not near a patrol vehicle, such as immediately after a foot pursuit. 2. All video (body or in -car) can be offloaded directly to a SBPD-approved access point via a secure wireless connection and without the need for a hard -wired connection, physical docking of the camera, separate storage device, or USB drive. 607 Menlo Avenue Menlo Park, CA 94025 (818) 919-9802
