Motorola has unveiled its latest body camera that feeds content live to the cloud. The Motorola V700 LTE bodycam is designed for public safety agencies like the Police and other armed agencies. The V700 uses mobile broadband to connect to the Aware cloud platform. It is capable of transmitting live feeds into the cloud. The real-time supply of field intelligence is very important for the security and monitoring of officers.
The use of body cameras is increasingly
becoming very prevalent. A growing array of public officials and individuals
are using this accessory for greater safety and intelligence accumulation.
There are a slew of body cameras for different situations and the Motorola V700
is entering the market on a high. It targets large-scale use with a command and
control setup as seen with Police Departments and other security forces.
Motorola underscores the importance of

insights needed for better decision-making. The Motorola V700 LTE”s
connectivity to a wider technology ecosystem offers an agency an unprecedented

immediate action by incident managers.
The Motorola V700 also comes with a
Record-After-the-Fact technology for greater data gathering. This means that

a patent for this technology but a few other products have previously used such
technology. The camera offers 1080p videos with a frame rate of up to 30fps. It
features dual microphones and noise cancellation, as well as a swappable
battery that delivers up to 14 hours of recording. The Motorola V700 is rated
