Description

The two minutes before you press record are usually the two minutes that matter. The VIM-POLICECAM17 keeps a rolling buffer of them, so pressing the button, or drawing from a paired holster, writes those two minutes into the start of the file.

It records 4K at 30fps across a 140 degree frame to 128GB of sealed internal storage, with no card slot for anything to be removed from. Every file carries RSA and AES256 encryption and a User ID, date and time watermark, and nothing can be opened or edited on the camera itself. The 4400mAh battery runs over 16 hours at 1080p, two 850nm IR LEDs cover full darkness, and the whole thing is IP66 rated and drop tested to 2 metres. Footage comes off over the camera's own WiFi hotspot straight to a phone.

Features

Transfer footage over its own WiFi: The camera creates a hotspot and your phone joins it directly. No router, no external network. Browse recordings, play them back and download files without a cable or a computer.
Two minutes before you pressed record: The pre-record buffer is already running. Press the button, or draw from the holster, and the previous two minutes are written into the start of the file. Nobody reacts fast enough to catch the beginning of an incident manually.
128GB sealed internal storage: No removable media at all, which holds over 16 hours at 1080p. Nothing to insert, format or eject halfway through a shift, and nothing that can be quietly taken out.
4K across a 140 degree frame: Wide enough to hold both sides of a corridor in one shot, at a resolution that still gives you something when you zoom into a face, a badge or a plate afterwards.
Docking station charging: Set the camera on the dock between shifts and it charges through USB-C contacts, with no plug to line up in the dark.
Holster draw activation: With the optional Bluetooth holster, drawing the camera starts the recording. That matters when both hands are busy or a situation moves faster than a button press.
Files that cannot be edited on the device: RSA and AES256 dual encryption on every recording, with no way to open or alter a file on the camera itself. Chain of custody starts at the sensor.
Night shifts and weather: Two 850nm IR LEDs for footage in no light at all, IP66 against rain and dust, and a 2 metre drop rating for the concrete it will eventually meet.

Applications

Real-World Scenarios

Patrol and site rounds

Night patrol through a warehouse, a car park or a residential complex. The IR LEDs handle complete darkness without a torch announcing where you are, the 140 degree lens takes in the full width of a corridor or loading dock, and the pre-record buffer catches whatever it was that made you look twice.

Event security and crowd management

Festivals, concerts and public events run to hundreds of interactions a shift. 128GB of sealed storage records the whole event without running out, and if something needs review immediately, WiFi transfer puts the clip on a coordinator's phone in minutes rather than at the end of the night.

Law enforcement and evidence handling

Where footage may end up in a proceeding, how it was held matters as much as what it shows. Sealed storage with no removable card, RSA and AES256 encryption applied on the device, and a User ID, date and time watermark on every frame all speak to that. Over 16 hours of runtime covers a long shift and the paperwork after it.

How it Works

Wear it: Two clips are included, a belt clip for waistbands and a rotatable crocodile clip for shirt pockets, vests and MOLLE webbing. Set the angle for your height before the shift, not during it.
Capture: One press starts recording with date, time and User ID stamped on every frame, and the pre-record buffer adds the previous two minutes automatically.
Review: After the shift, switch on WiFi and connect a phone. Browse the recordings, play them back and download what is needed. No computer required.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the WiFi work, do I need a network?

No. The camera makes its own WiFi hotspot and your phone joins that directly. There is no router, no mobile data and no internet connection involved. Range is ordinary WiFi range, so the same room or nearby.

How much footage fits on 128GB?

Over 16 hours at 1080p, or roughly 8 to 10 hours at 4K. Loop recording overwrites the oldest unlocked files when the storage fills, so recording never simply stops.

Is it waterproof?

IP66 rated, which covers heavy rain, dust and water jets, and handles New Zealand outdoor work without trouble. It is not submersible.

Can I play footage back on the camera itself?

Yes. The 2 inch LCD browses and plays recordings on the device, with fast forward at 2, 4, 6 or 8 times speed. For anything you need to look at properly, WiFi transfer to a phone gives you a larger screen.

How long does it take to charge from flat?

About 5 hours on the docking station or over USB-C. The 4400mAh battery then runs over 16 hours at 1080p, which is beyond a standard shift.

What do I need to know about using one on duty in New Zealand?

Body worn cameras are used here by agencies such as Corrections and court and fisheries officers, and by security staff, and recording in a public place is lawful. Two things sit alongside that. Audio is treated more strictly than video: the Crimes Act 1961 limits recording conversations and the Privacy Commissioner regards audio as far more intrusive, so how and when you record conversations matters. And an organisation deploying cameras needs its own policy covering notification, retention, access and disclosure, because the Privacy Act applies to the footage once it exists. This is general information, not legal advice.
