ATLANTA — The Atlanta Department of Corrections has deployed police body cameras for corrections offers. Atlanta will deploy Utility’s BodyWorn camera technology.
The Atlanta Department of Corrections purchased 130 BodyWorn units. Utility’s technology includes triggers such as a built-in accelerometer and voice-activated recording. Police departments will be able to configure the cameras according to their own internal privacy policies. BodyWorn’s Wi-Fi and 4G LTE service automatically uploads recorded video to a police department’s cloud-based storage system for video management. The service also enables real-time communication between corrections officers and Central Dispatch so officers are aware of alerts.
The cameras also have an interesting feature that automatically redacts faces, body parts and other objects in a video to protect inmate and officer privacy. The software can selectively blur or “unblur” images based on need; users’ specific privacy-policy restrictions; and local, state and federal laws.
