command center where the video can be viewed
live as it is happening.
This helps off-site command center operators
make critical decisions that can save officers and
citizens lives.
The camera is equipped with 4G LTE communi-
cations, and works with any of the carriers pro-
viding that capability.
It also provides live GPS location of the incident,
day or night, and other data that can be analyzed
for additional situational awareness and critical
decision support.
The timing of the introduction of the Sentinel
Camera Systems could not be better.
The use of public cell phone video at public
events when an unfortunate terrorist event or
hate crime happens is growing rapidly as should
be expected.
The use of law enforcement body cameras has
grown tremendously over the last few years, but
the time delay in downloading and analyzing is
still a drawback.
While citizens video is impor-
tant and helpful, the officers are
generally in the middle of the
action and their body cameras
are essential to effective critical
decision making.
What we are seeing now is the
growth of multi-agency law en-
forcement interaction where the
evaluation of live video, GPS
locations, other sensor data
and city surveillance cameras,
are being fused into a joint situ-
ational awareness command
function where intelligent deci-
sions are being made to help
our law enforcement and first
responders in the field.

This can only be a “live” function if the body cam-
era video from the officer’s camera is immedi-
ately available.
The Protector eliminates this last step.
This camera’s video and supporting
data is LIVE!
The Protector body camera is also designed
to record the video and supporting data on the
camera as well.
The officer who is wearing and operating the
camera has complete control of the functional
operations.
They can choose to stream live, record local or
select video and audio together, or either one
separately.
