FLIR Launches Body Cameras Unified With VMS (TruWitness)
While FLIR is best known for their thermal cameras, now they have expanded into body cameras, launching TruWITNESS, a public safety focused body wearable camera 'unified' with their VMS offering.
In this note, based on a conversation with FLIR we look at:
- What is TruWitness?
- Does it integrate with 3rd Party Systems?
- How is it deployed and managed?
- How much does it cost?
- How is it sold?
- How does it compare to the competition?
