Tight technology integration that automatically associates metadata and other pertinent information with video can provide the necessary context to a clip while also making it more efficient to find and share that video later. This integration could be a BWC that can automatically associate capture location data and officer ID from an integrated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorolasolutions.com\/en_us\/products\/apx-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">two-way radio<\/a>, or an incident type and number automatically integrated from a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorolasolutions.com\/en_us\/products\/command-center-software\/command-and-control\/premierone-cad.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">computer-aided dispatch<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorolasolutions.com\/en_us\/products\/smart-public-safety-solutions\/data-management\/premierone-records.html#tabproductinfo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">public safety records management system<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Automated controls over video footage tags and metadata can also ensure standardization for grouping, filtering and searching for content when it\u2019s needed later. This means that not only are your officers safer while in the field, but also waste less time before or after shifts on administrative tasks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned as we outline our next consideration for deploying the right BWCs for your officers.
