Edesix at IFSEC 2017

by Mark Rowe

Edesix, the body worn camera company, is launching new products at IFSEC 2017. The firm’s VideoTag Series, the VT-100 and VT-50, are designed for less frequent use than Edesix’s VideoBadge body worn cameras. The VideoTag VT-100 and VT-50 are described as lightweight and unobtrusive. Both require no extra training, according to the company, stream live footage, and have a standby battery-life of up to three months; meaning users don’t need to worry about charging the device frequently. The VT Series also provides complementary audio and video capture of incidents when used as part of a larger body worn camera and CCTV security function.
The VT-50 has been designed mainly for indoor use, and is aimed at sectors such as airlines, indoor retail or education. The VT-100 is a more robust, weatherproof camera and has room for an ID badge. It is the makers say suitable for lone workers, debt collectors, and supermarket workers. The VT-50 can record up to one hour of footage, while the VT-100 records up to two hours.

Richie McBride, managing director of Edesix says: “The VideoTag Series provides another option in our armoury of body worn cameras, they are light-weight and completely unobtrusive, making them perfect for any uniform, and ideal for those looking to record on a less regular basis or to equip all staff with recording devices.

“The VideoTag will complement your current security function, providing additional body-worn protection to staff throughout any organisation. The VideoTag Series allows staff in public-facing roles, who are not part of the security team, to create a safer working environment for themselves and their colleagues.

“Body worn cameras are now making a real difference to the protection of staff, and the general public, across an ever-growing list of sectors, including security, retail, local authorities, and emergency services to name but a few.”

Also on show will be the X series; the X-100 head mounted camera and the X-200 torso mounted camera, are external camera accessories for the VB-300 VideoBadge. Both cameras allow for 1080p recording and are designed for tactical use. The X-100 is a side-mountable tactical head camera, for use on headwear as used by police firearms officers. The X-100 offers automatic rotation of footage, meaning it can be worn on either side of the head without requiring user configuration to rotate footage.

The X-200 is a torso-mountable camera for use on uniform vests, tactical body armour or all-weather clothing. Recording is triggered by a toggle push-button and haptic, audible and visual alerts will leave the operator and the public aware of recording beginning and ending.
