VIEVU LE3 Body Worn Camera Review
Almost five years ago I was introduced to a wearable body camera for law enforcement manufactured by a company called VIEVU. The small camera clipped or pinned on to your uniform (or other clothing) and also came with a windshield mount so it could be used as a dashcam if you so desired. At that time, all the body-worn cameras I was familiar with were either too bulky to be comfortable, required a separate microphone to be worn as well, or were fragile. Yes, I can think of one or two examples those descriptive phrases wouldn't fit, but those held their own challenges like not being compatible with protective equipment or short battery lives. I was impressed with the VIEVU PVR Pro-2 way back in November of 2009 and now, having been introduced to the VIEVU LE3, I continue to be impressed. The technology is simple to use, rugged enough to perform and versatile enough to fulfill more than one mission. Let's take a look...
The VIEVU LE3 Overview
(Excerpt from their published material re: this product):
"The LE3 is the first high-performance, wearable HD video camera that is the ideal device to capture and provide compelling, forensic video evidence. Cops and other law enforcement personnel will love its combination of speed/functionality, ease-of-use, and security," said Steve Ward, VIEVU CEO and founder.
Designed "by cops, for cops", the LE3 is a small, lightweight, self-contained video recorder, about the size of a pager, that can easily be worn on the uniform. The LE3 was built to make operation simple, such as its simple lens slide cover that acts as an on/off switch for easy activation in stressful situations.
With its advanced SDK, the LE3 is easily integrated into existing video systems or other video management platforms (i.e. Dash cams, interview room cameras, et al); with its highly secured VERIPATROL software, all video evidence can be accessed/stored locally or in a cloud location for ongoing cases/trials.
Additional key feature/specs include:
* HD or Widescreen SD video resolution
* H.264 video compression
* 16GB non removable internal storage
