WatchGuard Inc.'s Body Camera-as-a-Service program provides a pay-asyou- go option for law enforcement agencies looking to bypass the upfront camera costs of starting a bodyworn program and capture the budget predictability and all-inclusive nature of an as-a-service model.
In WatchGuard’s program, there’s no need for agencies to raise funds or secure grants to purchase cameras, evidence management software, data storage or on-going maintenance. Officers simply put the cameras on and pay as they go. The program makes use of WatchGuard’s VISTA® body-worn cameras, cloud-based EvidenceLibrary.com evidence management platform with unlimited HD video storage, unlimited users and unlimited video sharing, No-Fault Hardware Warranty and 24/7 Support Service.
The program is modeled after Software-as-a-Service offerings whereby the provider commits to delivering an expected experience and level of service to the customer for a fixed price. This should come as good news to agencies hesitating to start a body camera program, amidst recent stories of police departments dumping their programs due to the unexpectedly high cost of ongoing camera maintenance and video storage.
WatchGuard’s Body Camera-as-a-Service is immediately available to law enforcement agencies.
