The Philippines BOC is in the process of modernizing and strengthening its enforcement and border protection capabilities, while at the same time further enhancing trade facilitation and improving the collection of the country’s lawful revenues.
Hytera was chosen to provide the body worn camera solution for a number of reasons. For a start, Hytera offers a complete solution from the BWC terminal itself to docking and charging stations and a full end-to-end digital evidence management (DEM) system. Another attraction is that the high-tier Hytera VM780 BWC offers many features which go well beyond the list of requirements set out by BOC.
Most notably, the Hytera VM780 supports live video streaming and dispatch features. The Hytera SmartEye live streaming solution enables users to securely transmit video and audio back to a control room. The live streaming and dispatch platform enables the central office to monitor actual scenarios in the field in real time by pulling multiple videos from the mobile BWC units.
The digital evidence collection management system provides an efficient way to oversee and record the security implementation in the different ports administered by the Bureau of Customs.
The DS-6501 docking station provides a very convenient way for users to automatically download videos, empty the data file storage and charge up the device, so it is ready and waiting for the next working shift to collect and use.
Furthermore, the videos collected by the docking stations are automatically uploaded to the DEM server without any intervention by the users to ensure the digital evidence is not tampered with. Uploaded videos are properly labeled with complete information on the date, time, location, ID of the user, case file and so on, thus making the search and review process a lot easier.
The Bureau of Customs now has access to a complete BWC solution for video recording, management, and dispatch, which has enhanced information gathering, as well as boosting staff productivity and efficiency.
The BOC head office can now monitor actual scenarios in real-time thanks to the live video streaming capability of the VM780, thereby greatly increasing situational awareness and improving the speed and quality of decision making.
The Hytera VM780 and BWC platform has also greatly improved the efficiency and quality of evidence collection, as well as providing BOC staff with the ability to easily review evidence for potential prosecutions and for training purposes.
