WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HYTERA BODYCAMS?
The Hytera Bodycams are rugged, feature packed recordable body worn cameras which are available at an affordable price.
In today’s current workplace environment the need to protect your employees has become ever more prevalent, and as an employer it is your duty to protect the health, safety and welfare of your employees. By investing in Hytera’s VM body camera technology you can capture and record video evidence to ensure that you are adhering to your industry regulations and protecting employees.
Hytera Body-worn cameras are a market leading technology that can help prevent and/ de-escalate confrontational situations that lone workers and public facing employees often find themselves in. By recording and gathering video evidence during an altercation or emergency you are offering a quicker resolution to complaints, better organisational transparency and training opportunities for employees.

HOW CAN BODYCAMS PROTECT LONE WORKERS?
It is estimated that 6.8 million people in the United Kingdom are lone workers, which is 22% of the 31.2m Uk working population*
Hytera Recordable Bodycams can ensure there is always a line of communication open for lone workers when they are carrying out their duties in isolation, or within an environment where they are without supervision. The digital body worn body camera can be utilised as a standalone device or linked with a Hytera hand portable two-way radio.
Before even considering the cost of fines and litigation, the HSE estimates that it can cost between £17,000 and £19,000 on average just to investigate a physical assault. It can cost a lot less to prevent one. If an incident does occur, the courts will take the resources available to an organisation into consideration – the Sentencing Council guidelines state that a Corporate Manslaughter fine should be at least £500,000. But it is no defence for an employer to say that they did not have the time, money or resources to reduce risk. There is the possibility of courts imposing publicity orders which can tarnish reputations, and in the worst cases, prison sentences for seniors managers found to be negligent.

ARE THERE ANY LAWS IN PLACE REGARDING THE USE OF RECORDABLE BODYCAMS?
If you are concerned about any of the laws surrounding the use of bodycams and the data captured the SIA state:
‘If you view footage recorded by headcams/bodycams solely for the purpose of protecting property or identifying a trespasser, then a Security Guard or Door Supervisor licence would be sufficient. Due to licence integration, a Public Space Surveillance (CCTV) licence would also cover you for this activity.’

- Centralised data management – will collect and store the digital evidence on a secure network.
- Cloud based server – for centralised storage with RVM automatic data upload.
