Functioning

Using these cameras couldn’t be simpler. As proof, the head of the municipal police demonstrates it : he unplugged a camera that was chargingenters his number to unlock it, and attaches it to his jacket. Immediately the computer knows who took the camera. That’s it.

Then it is the agents themselves which will trigger, if necessary, the camera, and this, after announcing it.

Color films, with sound in 4K are not modifiable, and leave automatically on a basis data secure as soon as the camera returns to base. They are there preserved for a month, before being automatically deleted, unless the images are used as part of a procedure.

If they haven’t had a chance to use them yet, the police still seem satisfied with this noveltyand speak of a “real plus”.
