Why In-Car Video Matters More Than Ever
Today, law enforcement and public safety teams face more pressure than ever to document their work accurately and with integrity. That’s where in-car video systems come in.
These systems provide a second set of eyes. By providing an independent account of what happened, you are able to remove unintentional bias when recapping an incident. The ability to review tough calls and learn from real-world situations, provides valuable training opportunities that, over time, can help build stronger teams and more trust with the public.
The Right Camera for the Job
BUILT TO SEE WHAT MATTERS MOST
No two departments are alike, and neither are their camera needs. That’s why today’s in-car video systems come with flexible options. You can choose a basic setup, scale up to a complete multi-camera system, or integrate into your existing technology system.
Key components usually include the following
- Front-facing cameras that record the road and every interaction ahead
- Rear-seat cameras that capture what’s happening inside the vehicle
- Audio recording apps that sync with video for full context
- Mobile data terminals or control panels that playback and upload audio and video
- Secure storage options that can be either local or cloud-based
Everything is designed to work together, so footage is clear, accessible, and backed up without delays.
Motorola L5M Mobile Camera
The L5M is a rugged, in-car license plate recognition (LPR) camera built for public safety vehicles. It automatically captures and analyzes license plate data in real time, even at highway speeds and in low-light conditions. Designed for police and public safety fleets, the L5M integrates with Motorola Solutions’ Vigilant PlateSearch and backend systems, giving officers instant alerts on stolen vehicles, wanted suspects, or expired registrations. Compact and durable, it provides reliable performance in all weather while seamlessly connecting to in-car video and two-way radio systems for greater situational awareness.
More Vigilant When Connected
INTEGRATE YOUR IN-CAR VIDEO WITH THE TOOLS YOU ALREADY USE
In-car video is powerful on its own, but it’s even more effective when integrated with additional technology. For instance, today’s systems can seamlessly connect with dispatch software, body-worn cameras, and other tools your team depends on. That kind of integration gives you greater visibility and quicker access when needed. When systems are fully integrated, you can easily access the footage when you need it.
Here’s how an integration can help
Recording can start automatically when lights or sirens are triggered
Body cam and in-car video can sync together for a full view of an incident
Live video feeds can be shared with dispatch or command staff
Footage can be accessed remotely without pulling a unit off the road
Cloud-based platforms help store and manage everything in one place
Automatic redaction features
