Résumé
The Bodi-Cam system was developed by KIOSS, based in Richmond Hill, Ontario. The system’s development was supported by the National Research Council of Canada’s Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP) and the Canadian Police Research Centre (CPRC). The Bodi-Cam system is a tiny wireless camera and transmitter that clips onto the police officers uniform. The video camera’s image is transmitted, along with the audio, to another location, up to % of a mile away, where it is recorded on a VCR tape. This allows the officer to play back or review the situation that was captured. The Bodi-Cam personal video system was evaluated by the Service de Police Communaté Urbaine de Montréal and the York Regional Police Service. The concept was found to be an excellent idea; however, the police evaluators found that the unit required modifications before it could be deployed for use.
