Dear Officer
From time to time we will receive e-mails from people who care about the Police Officers who are keeping us safe. This is one of those. Dear Officer I want you to know that I see you. I see you choose the booth in the restaurant that allows you to have your back against the wall. I see you walking to your next traffic stop while you hope that it isn’t your last. I see you pulled over, two hours past your shift, as you finish you reports under a street light. I see you as you direct traffic in the scorching heat, the gusting snow, and the downpour of rain. I see you as you watch mainstream media crucify your character while minimizing your cause. I see that you are tired. I see that you are frustrated and misunderstood. I see that you are hurting as the world watches you bury your brothers and sisters that died because they were guilty of one thing; wearing a uniform with a badge. I see you. I see that you are flesh and bones just like me. I see that you are a human being who has a heart that beats for your calling to serve and protect. I see your cause and I want you to know that I appreciate it. Signed…autonomous
How Will You Use Wi-Fi?
In our last blog we discussed the various merits of a stand-alone DVR hidden camera versus a Wi-Fi hidden camera. As we noted in that blog Wi-Fi hidden cameras come with two options for their remote connectivity: peer to peer (referred to as P2P) and peer to internet (referred to as P2I.) Let’s dive a little deeper into these two kind of Wi-Fi connections. For Peer to Peer there is no internet protocol (IP) channeling the data between your hidden camera and the viewing device. The hidden camera itself acts as a Wi-Fi transmitter and sends live video to your phone as long as it’s within range of the camera. On the plus side: Makes setting up the hidden camera easy, just check your smart device to see what the camera sees. No need to access your IP address. No connection over the internet means your video is more secure. Things to consider: • Less remote capability as the video will stream only when your smart phone is in range of the camera. For Peer to Internet the user connects a smart phone to the hidden camera through a router and network SSID. Add the app to as many devices as necessary so that more than one person can monitor the video feed. Users with long term hidden surveillance needs can really benefit from a Peer to Internet connection. On the plus side: Very little limitation to remote access of the data. Easy for more than one person to monitor the hidden camera remotely. Things to consider: Set-up is more complicated as access to the user’s IP settings is necessary. Bandwidth is a consideration as narrow bandwidth, or several devices using the same router, can affect the video’s clarity.
Police Officer – Wet Floor
A police officer called the station on his radio. “I have an interesting case here. An old lady shot her husband for stepping on the floor she just mopped.” “Have you arrested the woman?” —— “Not yet. The floor’s still wet!”
Police Officers – Most Dangerous Jobs
Police officers have taken on one of the most dangerous jobs in our society Police officers protect citizens from other citizens, and they face the delicate task of balancing the rights of the aggrieved with the rights of the accused. Of course, we could make a blanket change to the laws and tell cops not to make arrests over misdemeanors. But if you own a business, you may quickly find that this means open season for your stock. And we could tell cops not to chase fleeing felons. But if burglars simply have to run from police to escape justice, then there will be a lot of criminals on the loose. Finally, we can tell our police officers never to draw their weapon unless drawn upon. Yet then we would be telling them to put their lives at even greater risk even as they are out there trying to protect ours. Constrain police too much, and remove their ability to exercise good judgment, and the about a dozen cops left willing to do the job will be ineffective — and every criminal will know it.

Our camera and software via VeriPic® meets and exceeds these requirements. We are also the first company to build into a Body Camera an audio announcement feature. When the camera first starts to record an announcement clearly states: ‘ATTENTION AUDIO AND VIDEO RECORDING HAS STARTED.’ When the cameras recording mode is stopped, it clearly states: ‘ATTENTION AUDIO AND VIDEO RECORDING HAS STOPPED.’ Our studies show when someone is made aware of a recording taking place their attitude and demeanor tend to turn more positive and less aggressive towards police officers,” said Paul Feldman of Force Protection Video Equipment. “The LE50 uses white diode lighting in our design. The reason mainly relies on a safety issue. Cameras that utilize IR lighting can be harmful due the brightness of the IR light and the fact that the human eye does not react to this source of light, there is a high probability of whomever looks at these lights can possible damage or injure their sight.” VeriPic® is a leading supplier of enterprise photo and evidence management software to Law Enforcement Agencies.
