Once a body camera video is ended, it is always uploaded immediately and automatically over a cellular network (assuming connectivity), even when an officer is not near a vehicle or router. This occurs without any intervention by the officer and allows immediate review and access by authorized parties within SBPD. 4. All software updates are installed wirelessly. Initial configuration settings are set automatically and globally. Settings can also be changed on each individual device based on department policy and/or officer preference. 5. The cost proposal includes an allowance for a mounting solution, such as a holster. However, many mounting solutions are available, some of which do not require any uniform modification, When uniform modifications are required for a specific mounting solution, the cost is generally nominal (i.e. approx. $10). A separate battery unit is not required. Under normal use, the body camera's battery will last at least 12 hours. Power to the in -car camera will be supplied by the vehicle's battery. 6. Activation of the body camera is achieved by a simple press of a button on the device. Visual Labs does not recommend the use Bluetooth activation due to the potential for failure of continuous "pairing" which is inherent in any Bluetooth device. However, Bluetooth activation is an option with the Visual Labs system. 7. The Visual Labs body camera system provides for the direct user input of notes, video classifications, and other metadata for both videos and still photographs without requiring pairing to a separate device. 8. The cameras have an tP68 rating and meet the MIL-STD-81OG standard (see attached specification sheet). Accordingly, they will remain operational after shock or rough treatment. 9. A provision relating to the non -disclosure of customer confidential information is included in Visual Labs' standard subscription agreement (see Appendix). B. Requirements - Design Innovation and Ergonomics 1. The body camera supports extended constant recording of approximately seven hours before requiring a battery recharge. 2. The body cameras are non-proprietary, fully -functioning smartphones and can be charged in the vehicle, via a standard 110-volt ac outlet, or via a wireless charging station. 3. Audio prompts are available to notify an officer when the camera recording has started. Tactile and visual prompts are also available to notify an officer that a recording is ongoing. These prompts can be enabled or disabled at an officer's discretion.
