"The new bullet camera provides another option in the extensive array of possible mounting locations for our
FirstVu HD body camera system
, which will now be able to meet the needs of law enforcement agencies regardless of their specific body-worn camera policies," continued Ross. "Our bullet camera is smaller and lighter than other eyeglass-mounted options currently on the market and is therefore more comfortable to wear. The bullet camera also works with our patented
VuLink
connectivity device, which allows hands-free activation of the body camera system, thereby enhancing the safety of officers in the field and eliminating distractions that can result from having to manually turn on some of our competitors' body cameras."
Technical capabilities of the bullet camera are consistent with the
FirstVu HD
's torso-mounted camera and include:
130º wide-angle field of view
.
Ability to capture what officers can actually see.
Unmatched .08 Lux low-light sensitivity, which allows recording in dark conditions without suggesting to a jury that the officer could see more than is humanly possible.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) recording, which provides dual-exposure (one dark, one light) video capture that can be blended together to simultaneously retain detail in both light and dark segments of every video frame. This prevents bright areas from becoming over-exposed and darker areas from losing detail in high-contrast situations.
Up to 720p HD video resolution.
Advanced compression, which results in high quality yet smaller files, allowing faster upload speeds and lower costs when stored in the "cloud".
Since Digital Ally is currently celebrating its 10th year in business, the price of the
FirstVu HD
Officer-Worn Video System has also been
lowered $200

VuVault management and reporting software
is included at no cost. Quantity discounts and trade-in credits are also still available.
"Currently, over 1,300 law enforcement agencies/departments are either using or evaluating our
FirstVu HD
body camera system," added Ross. Digital Ally's
FirstVu HD
is the most technically advanced officer-worn body camera system on the market, according to the company, with features including:
It is the only body-worn video system that can be turned on automatically when emergency lights, etc. are activated on law enforcement vehicle and/or when in-car video system is manually actuated.
Enhances officer safety by eliminating distractions associated with having to turn on the body camera.
FirstVu HD

Longer pre-event recording time more effectively documents events leading up to incidents in the field.
Rechargeable battery can last up to 2.5 days while powered on.
User-replaceable battery allows unit to remain in service by eliminating need to send unit to manufacturer (often overseas) to have battery replaced.
Larger memory allows officer to record as much footage as needed, regardless of what he/she encounters during shift.
Cloud and local storage options
to meet the budget and policy requirements of any law enforcement department.
FirstVu HD
