Titan Body Camera Exceeds Expectations and Eliminates Monthly Fees

For the last year, the pros at Titan Body Camera have been demonstrating to Midwest Police Departments how to eliminate the need for monthly fees, manage their data and exceeding customer expectations.

 The need to outfit police officers with body worn cameras after the last few years has come to a screeching halt for many local governments.  This is due to steep costs associated with a need to store large amounts of data for months or years at a time.   

With well-known companies out there citing easy fixes to store and manage data, many departments neglected to incorporate the cost of the storage on a year to year basis.  Some storage costs as much as $100,000 a year for the larger departments. Many police management and administration are now scrambling for other solutions.

After a 2013 study conducted by the Police Executive Research Forum — or PERF — and supported by the Justice Department found that of the departments surveyed without body cameras, 39 percent cited cost as the primary reason.

Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake already has sounded the alarm over the long-term costs of police body cameras.

In December, she vetoed a proposal that would have required officers to wear cameras because she didn't believe the costs and other details were adequately considered. City officials estimated costs up to $2.6 million a year for storage and the extra staff needed to manage the video data.

"Knowing how we didn't have a lot of wiggle room with the budget constraints we face, we couldn't afford to get it wrong," said Rawlings-Blake, who intends to present another plan this spring. "Any time you do something on this scale, if you don't take the time up front, you are setting yourself up for failure and disappointment from the community."

Because of these costly reasons one company has developed a new product for local government to not only store and manage data at no extra cost. Titan Body Worn Camera has manufactured a type of "Kiosk", they refer to as K2 units, which are not only providing officers with a better bottom line but providing a full IT solution in a box.

TITAN, located in Minooka, IL recently provided information regarding their last installation in Berkeley, IL. The Police Chief there stated, "I truly believe that body cameras are the wave of the future for our police department. I had contacted twelve (12) different vendors that dealt with body cameras. Titan Body Camera proved to stand out above the competition. Those guys are the best, they are efficient and prompt to any concern we have and their turnaround time is phenomenal. Their camera met the needs of my department and complied with the new Illinois law."

Titan's new take towards body cameras and body camera storage has provided police with a new way to combat high monthly cost and makes sure that every officer has the equipment that is needed.  With this new technology it comes to only a matter of time before departments who are paying those high monthly cost jump ship to a friendlier and cost efficient method.

Video Data Storage and Monthly Fee Issues Solved for Police Body Cameras

Press Release - Sep 28, 2015 - updated: Sep 28, 2015

Titan Body Camera is the first of its kind to solve the issues and concerns regarding video storage and reoccurring monthly costs of body camera footage. Titans Data Acquisition terminal provides both body camera docking stations and self-standing storage for departments of all sizes. This completely eliminates any and all additional costs that come along with many other solutions on the market.

Minooka, IL, September 28, 2015 (Newswire) - ​​​​​Titan Body Camera located just outside of Chicago IL seems to have a solution that solves this problem. Titan provides a free standing Data Acquisition Terminal that charges the cameras, extracts the data, wipes the camera clean of the data and then stores the video onto a local secure server.

"Everybody is screaming, 'We need body cameras.' But nobody is saying, where is the money coming from? What are you going to do with all the data? Who is going to manage it?"

Jason Halifax, Sgt., Des Moines, Iowa, Police Dept.

The chart demonstrates how Titan Body Worn Camera Systems compares against leading competitors for a 50 officer department for a 5 year period. These numbers include the cameras, installation, monthly charges and any other hidden costs we could find.
In an example of these costs, in Birningham, Alabama, the City Council approved a five-year $889,000 contract with TASER International for police body cameras and a companion digital management system. The city will pay the company $238,000 for the first year of service. Birmingham police initially bought five terabytes of data, and already have used 2 ½ since the cameras went into use.” Which means they are going to need more storage which is going to cost more money every year down the road.
In SiliconeAngle Magazine, Mike Wheatley, a Senior Staff Writer, recently wrote an article about TASER, entitled.."Are the cops being cheated on cloud costs?"
This is one of many stories that make implementing these body camera systems costly . What we are finding is that all the cameras available on the market do what they promise to do and that is to record video. What agencies need to be concerned about is the longevity of the devices and how the costs will look in 4-5 years.
But, Titan Body Worn Camera Systems has solved this problem.  Titan offers an all inclusive cost that includes equipment, set up, training and storage which eliminates recurring and accumulating monthly fees. Because unless this data is managed and archived it accumulates storage fees.

BODY CAMERAS WITH NO MONTHLY FEES

We have been researching body cameras for over 2 years. There appear to be many solutions and many cameras on the market. Titan Body Camera from IL seems to be making a name for themselves. There solution appears to be the easiest most affordable and efficient device and solution on the market.

Many dash cam providers are trying to lure there current departments in by connecting there camera to there current dash cam device.  However at the end of the day it makes most sense to keep these videos completely separate. The laws for body cameras state that only "FLAGGED" footage be kept for more then 90 days. Any other footage can be deleted every 90 days. Keeping these videos together is just not logical as the dash cam footage is used more frequently and will still be used more often.

Titans Body Camera system simply only requires the officers to know how to work the camera. Once they have established this, they can simply dock there camera into the Data Acquisition unit and walk away. Titans Unit will extract the data, charge the device and prepare for next shift.

It will then store the data by camera model#. data and time, as well as officer name.

Titans solution seems to good to be true, but its a solution that is making its way across the United States.

We spoke to Titan regarding these Body Cameras and they stated.

" We know we have a lot of competition out there, but we believe that our device can go toe to toe with anyone. We beleive everyone is simply complicating things when they dont need to be. Our law enforcement agencies have enough to worry about, we should be making using these devices easy. Titan simply wants to provide the easiest form of Body Camera technology available at the most affordable price on the market."
