Supply of Body Worn Cameras

Description

The Camera1. Durability and Robustness:- Cameras must be rugged and weather-resistant to withstand the challenging outdoor environments typical of rail networks and stations.- Must be shockproof and resistant to dust and moisture (IP67 rating or higher).2. Video and Audio Quality:- High-definition video recording (minimum 1080p) with clear audio capture.- Low-light performance and infrared capabilities for night-time or poorly lit environments.3. Battery Life:- Long-lasting battery capable of recording a full shift (minimum 10-12 hours) with quick charge capability.4. Data Storage and Management:- Secure storage of recorded footage with encryption.- Adequate onboard storage (e.g., 64GB) and/or cloud integration.- Automatic upload to secure servers when in a designated docking station.5. User Interface and Controls:- Simple, user-friendly operation with easy start/stop recording functions.- Visual/audible indicators for recording status and battery life.6. Mounting and Comfort:- Lightweight and easily mountable on various uniforms or safety vests.- Must not obstruct the wearer's movement or comfort during extended use.7. Compliance and Privacy:- Adherence to data protection regulations and privacy standards (e.g., GDPR).- Options for turning off audio/video recording in restricted areas or during private conversations.8. Connectivity:- Integration with wireless networks (e.g., Wi-Fi, LTE) for real-time streaming if needed.- GPS tagging for location-based recording and incident tracking.9. Resilience to Vibration:- Cameras should be capable of maintaining stable recording even in high-vibration environments common on rail networks.10. Incident Reporting and Documentation:- Integrated features for tagging incidents during recording, allowing for easier review and documentation.These requirements would ensure that body-worn cameras deployed in railway environments are reliable, secure, and effective in supporting safety and security operations.The Backroom Software1. Video and Audio Management:- High-Quality Playback: Support for smooth playback of high-definition video (minimum 1080p) with synchronized audio.- Frame-by-Frame Analysis: Ability to examine footage frame by frame for detailed investigation.- Audio Filtering and Enhancement: Tools for enhancing audio clarity, including noise reduction and voice isolation.2. Editing Capabilities- Non-Destructive Editing: Editing tools that allow trimming, redacting, and annotating footage without altering the original file.- Annotation Tools: Features for adding notes, highlighting areas of interest, and timestamping specific incidents within the video.- Redaction: Ability to blur faces, license plates, or other sensitive information to protect privacy when required.3. Metadata Handling- GPS and Timestamp Integration: Display of embedded metadata such as GPS coordinates, timestamps, and camera ID during playback.- Tagging and Bookmarking: Ability to tag and bookmark key events or moments in the footage for quick reference during investigations.4. Data Security and Integrity- Encryption: End-to-end encryption of footage during storage and transmission to prevent unauthorized access.- Audit Trail: Automatic logging of all access, views, edits, and exports, ensuring a clear audit trail for evidential purposes.- Watermarking: Ability to apply forensic watermarks to video exports to verify authenticity and deter tampering.5. Search and Retrieval- Advanced Search Capabilities: Ability to search footage by metadata (e.g., date, time, location, camera ID) or keywords added during tagging.- Efficient Retrieval: Fast retrieval of footage from large databases, with options for filtering by incidents or specific time frames.6. Export and Sharing- Format Compatibility: Support for exporting footage in various formats (e.g., MP4, AVI) with customizable resolution and quality settings.- Chain of Custody Documentation: Automated generation of reports detailing the chain of custody for each exported video file, essential for legal admissibility.- Secure Sharing: Secure methods for sharing footage with external stakeholders (e.g., police, accident investigators) via encrypted links or direct transfer.7. User Access and Permissions- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Fine-grained control over user permissions, ensuring only authorized personnel can view, edit, or export footage.- Multi-Level Authentication: Implementation of multi-factor authentication (MFA) for accessing sensitive footage, enhancing security.8. Compliance and Legal Requirements- Regulatory Compliance: Ensure the software complies with relevant data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR) and evidence-handling protocols.- Automatic Retention Policies: Ability to set and enforce retention schedules according to legal requirements, with automatic deletion or archiving after a set period.9. Integration with Other Systems- Case Management System (CMS) Integration: Seamless integration with existing case management systems used by police (BTP DEMs) and accident investigators.- Real-Time Alerts and Notifications: Integration with incident reporting systems to automatically flag footage of potential interest in real-time.10. Scalability and Performance- Scalability: The software should handle large volumes of footage from multiple sources across the network without performance degradation.- Cloud and On-Premises Options: Availability of both cloud-based and on-premises deployment options to suit different organizational needs.NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the Sell2Wales Web Site at https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=144803.
