All Others, We Monitor. Lately there have been many new companies popping up offering various wireless video products to law enforcement agencies. While the concept of wireless video transmission has been around for many years and there are indeed a number of genuinely useful products to help you do your job, we need to cover some basic technical, operational and legal information so you can decide if these products are suitable for you.

Normally coaxial cable is used to transfer the video signal generated by the camera to somewhere else where you can do something with it. Remote cameras also are used in hazmat and tactical situations where it may be dangerous to place an officer right at the scene. The newest applications now have a camera worn on an undercover operative's body, giving you a video body wire similar to the older audio-only units with which we're all familiar. In the cases mentioned above, a radio signal from a video transmitter is used to send the camera's video output to a companion receiver located in a friendly area. We'll assume you are familiar with the basics of working with video.
