Panasonic, a leader in connected solutions to support law enforcement and public safety, is launching its newest software technology to collect, manage and protect digital evidence.
The new software “Unified Digital Evidence” (UDE) offers a unique and innovative platform to gather and store digital evidence from the Arbitrator™ In-Car and Body-Worn camera platforms, as well as other sources, including fixed surveillance and a variety of digital media devices.
UNIFY ALL OF YOUR EVIDENCE
SEE THE ENTIRE PICTURE
Unified Digital Evidence software captures and secures everything an Arbitrator system records, including audio and video plus critical telemetry like GPS position, vehicle speed, braking and emergency light status.
It even captures GPS and motion data from officers wearing Body Worn Cameras (BWC).
