SmartCOP and Utility Body Camera Integration: Improving Incident Response and Officer Safety
SmartCOP is excited to announce a new partnership with Utility, a trusted leader in body-worn camera technology. This collaboration delivers a real-time integration between SmartCOP’s Computer Aided Dispatch (SmartCAD) system and Utility’s BodyWorn™ camera solution. This provides public safety agencies with automatic video activation based on CAD activity.
When a dispatcher generates a call for service and assigns a responding unit through SmartCAD, the system sends an automatic command to activate the assigned officer’s body camera. Once the call is marked complete or the unit clears from the incident, SmartCAD sends another signal to deactivate the body camera recording.
This SmartCOP and Utility body camera integration offers several advantages for public safety agencies:
- Improved officer safety – Automatically capturing critical moments without relying on manual activation
- Documentation – Tied directly to CAD events, video footage is synchronized with incident records
- Enhanced transparency – Supports accountability and public trust with consistent video evidence
- Reduced administrative burden – Eliminates the need for officers to start and stop recordings manually
- Fewer missed recordings – Prevents gaps in incident documentation due to human error
For dispatchers, the integration requires no extra steps; everything happens in the background as part of their normal workflow. For officers, this means they can stay focused on the situation at hand. They know that the system has already captured the call’s timeline from the start.
This partnership underscores SmartCOP’s commitment to developing technology that meets the real-world needs of law enforcement. Our fully integrated public safety software suite is designed to make your job easier, safer, and more effective, whether in the field, at the dispatch center, or behind the scenes.
