To ensure data integrity and maintain the chain of custody for potential evidence, all recorded files, such as video, photo, and audio, cannot be deleted, edited, or altered using the device's onboard controls.
Deletion and management of files can only be performed when the BWC is connected to a PC or laptop.
The process is simple and secure:
- Connect the BWC to a PC/laptop via USB.
- The camera's memory will appear as a locked drive.
- The user must enter the pre-set administrator password on the camera's screen to unlock the drive.
- No proprietary management software is required on the PC. The drive can be accessed, and files can be managed like a standard external storage device.
This strict protocol prevents unauthorised deletion or tampering and ensures all footage is protected from the point of capture until it is securely transferred.
(Note: Loop recording is an available option that, when enabled, allows the camera to automatically overwrite the oldest non-essential footage when storage is full.)
