Subject: “Long Way Round” cameras to be introduced for motorcycle police?

Author: Bob

[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:23:29 02/11/08 Mon Plans are in place to introduce the camera technology used in the “Long Way Round” and “Long Way Down” series to police forces across Britain. The helmet-mounted cameras are being adopted by police forces across Britain to capture instances of bad riding and identify potential accident black spots from the rider’s perspective. The camera sends an image to a small recorder on the riders waistband, which can be downloaded onto a laptop at the side of the road. Simon Jones, head of design and marketing for Birmingham-based Sonic Communications – the company that devised the system - said: "The idea involves a helmet-mounted camera attached by Velcro. This means it can be transferred from helmet to helmet at the end of officers' shifts." "By being mounted on the helmet and not on the bike itself, it provides precisely the same view of the road that the rider would see.” [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
