BT Body Worn Video – Innovative crime-fighting technology

BT Body Worn Video (BWV) has been chosen as CCTV Product of the Year at the IFSEC Security Awards 2008.

Already being used by many of the UK’s police forces, BWV is currently being deployed for a range of security applications because of its ability to record what its wearer sees and hears in a secure, auditable way suitable for presentation in court. BT Body Worn Video is currently in use by a number of UK police forces, as well as by council and housing association wardens and door supervisors.

Benefits of BT Body Worn Video include:

• Supports victims of domestic abuse, as courts can see the reaction of the offender at the time of police attendance

• Provides evidence in support of Anti-social Behaviour Orders (for example by Local Authority warden teams)

• For Street Wardens and Traffic Wardens use of the unit can help to reduce risk of assault, as well as providing a record of the vehicle or the individual being issued with a penalty ticket.
