Police Scotland is purchasing 10,500 VB400 body cameras from Motorola Solutions to integrate into its officers' uniforms. The £13.3 million investment is part of the police service's commitment to enhanced transparency, accountability, and public safety.  
As part of a democratic decision-making process, Police Scotland engaged in a national public consultation on body camera deployment. An overwhelming 81% of the 9,000 responses agreed that this move would bolster public confidence in policing.

The VB400 is a highly reliable device that captures high-quality video and audio, providing an objective record of events. This technology assists front-line officers in documenting incidents and fosters trust with the communities they serve. The footage is automatically uploaded to VideoManager for secure storage, ensuring its integrity and protecting the chain of custody, thereby assuring the police, public, and judicial systems of the reliability of video evidence. 

“The introduction of body-worn video will transform policing in Scotland, and a national roll-out is a key priority,” said Jane Connors, Deputy Chief Constable, Police Scotland. “Body-worn video can significantly enhance public confidence and support officer and public safety by providing effective and transparent evidence of police and public actions.”

“Body-worn video will also improve the quality of evidence presented in court to deliver faster justice for victims by increasing early guilty pleas and reducing time spent at court for victims, witnesses and police officers,” said Connors.

Police Scotland joins other UK police forces and global law enforcement agencies, including French National Police, Lithuanian National Police and Austrian police forces, that have chosen Motorola Solutions’ body worn camera and evidentiary solutions. Police Scotland also relies on Motorola Solutions' nationwide Airwave emergency services network, TETRA radios and Pronto Digital Policing application.

Axis Communications has announced a major update to its wearable solution with the launch of AXIS Body Worn Live to deliver live data streaming in the form of video, audio, and metadata from Axis body-worn cameras. AXIS Body Worn Live supports informed decision-making by operators, enhances intelligence gathering for incident response teams (IRTs), and provides an added sense of safety for camera wearers.
Wearers can activate the data stream simultaneously with recording. The operator can be notified in their management system to view GPS location data and follow along in real-time in the cloud-based application. The wearer can be notified when the operator begins monitoring. Permissions can be assigned based on roles to safeguard data integrity and transmission is protected by end-to-end encryption.

Ian James, UK Sales Engineering and Training Manager, Axis Communications, commented, “The first-person perspective gained from a body worn camera can complement a fixed camera solution, gathering real-time intelligence and capturing evidence of a situation at the point at which it occurs. Integration with an operator’s VMS allows one system to monitor all cameras, both wearable and fixed, and enables the data from both wearable and fixed solutions to be combined, building a highly accurate incident report.”

AXIS Body Worn Live licenses will be available for purchase in Q2 2023. The product can be added to existing Axis body-worn cameras through firmware upgrades.

British technology firm Reveal has launched its K-series body-worn cameras with facial recognition AI. The cameras can process faces within a three-metre distance and compare them to those in a pre-configured database, with any matches triggering alerts or additional camera activity such as recording and streaming. Faces that are not matched against the database are not recorded or saved by the camera.
According to Reveal, this is a world-first for facial recognition technology. Facial recognition is ordinarily used within CCTV to help the police, and businesses such as retailers and gambling venues, quicker identify individuals, allowing them to prevent criminal activity and track down missing people.

Reveal is supplying its cameras to most UK police forces and a growing number of prisons, security firms and retail businesses worldwide. Body-worn cameras increase the safety of frontline workers by de-escalating confrontational situations and limiting the use of force.

Alasdair Field, CEO of Reveal, said: “Feedback from our work with the police and the transport, retail and gambling industries over many years has shown that introducing facial recognition technology to body-worn cameras could be instrumental in helping to prevent crime, and may also prove invaluable in tracking down vulnerable and missing people.

“Reveal has always been passionate about providing the very best cameras using the technology available to us at the time, and this technology had evolved enormously since its very early days when just a few Police forces used our cameras. We have always been at the forefront of delivering groundbreaking features, and the addition of AI will further transform the capabilities of body cameras. With recent figures from the BRC showing that aggressive incidents are on the rise in retail, we must continue to look at advancements like this that will provide more protection to key workers.”
