Often, in-car cameras are just one aspect of a fully-integrated system that also links other cameras, like BWCs to the server. In order to send the video, some in-car cameras have wireless uploading capabilities and unlike body-worn cameras, batteries aren’t a concern. Getac Video keeps your force connected and protected by delivering trusted intelligence with reliable hardware. Learn more about our integrated technology solutions on our website.

Recognizing the value of in-car cameras in addressing these issues, yet realizing most departments wouldn’t have the budget for this technology, the Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) started the In-Car Camera Initiative Program. This program gave millions of dollars to agencies between 2000-2003 to purchase in-car cameras, and increased the number of state police and highway patrol vehicles with in-car cameras from 11% to 72%, according to the study.

As the technology continues to evolve, automation is playing a large part in executing some of the policies or procedures that agencies have implemented, or laws have required. Having an in-car camera that provides those solutions, allows officers to remain focused on their task without being concerned about remembering to hit the record button.

The in-car camera has many benefits for both law enforcement and the public. Similar to the benefits of the BWC which we outlined here, the in-car camera has been found to:

Technology has had a huge impact on policing over the last few decades. One of the biggest changes, is the use of cameras to record unbiased accounts of events. The in-car camera has been a staple for decades, yet, this law enforcement tool continues to evolve with the times.

In-car cameras have been part of policing since the 1980s, however, the original idea was featured decades before in a magazine article in “Popular Science.” According to the IACP study, in the late 1960s Connecticut State Police set a camera on a tripod in the passenger seat and filled the back seat with the recorder and cables. It wasn’t practical, but it did illustrate the role which video could play in policing.

By the 1980s improved technology, such as VHS tape, allowed law enforcement to respond to the issue of drinking and driving by putting dash cameras in police cars to document field sobriety tests.

Advancements continue to be made, including solving the problem of reduced visibility during night-shifts. Working at night comes with the disadvantage of reduced visibility, especially when it comes to cameras. Our ZeroDark HD In-Car Cameras offer infrared capabilities so the cameras will be able to capture footage even in low-light scenarios. The cameras are small and discreet, and with 60° and 120° wide-angle cameras, you can create a 180° view. High-tech sensors and low-light recording features capture detail in as little as .04 lux illumination, so you can work with confidence.

Safety signals and signs are essential because they alert individuals to safe practices and emergency procedures in a workplace or public area and act as a visual warning of potential hazards. By giving clear and concise instructions and warnings, raising awareness of potential hazards, and encouraging a safer environment for everyone, they contribute to the prevention of accidents and injuries.

In the late 1990s, the focus had changed again, due to allegations of racial bias or racial profiling by officers and an increase in officer assaults. In response to these issues, state and federal governments started enacting laws requiring agencies to “document details of every traffic stop.”

Today’s in-car cameras have come quite a long way from being attached to a tripod in the passenger seat. At Getac Video Solutions our in-car camera size has shrunk to just a few inches, weighing 0.4 lbs. High-definition (HD) is standard, providing agencies with crisper video, and wide-angle lenses supply a large field-of-view, while our backseat camera allows officers to be aware of their surroundings at all times. Additionally, our in-car cameras can be automatically turned on by a trigger system in our VR-X20 DVR, which might include opening the car door, turning on the lightbar or siren, or when exceeding a certain speed.
