Hytera's Bodycam: VM780

Hytera's latest bodycam; VM780 combines a bodycam and PoC radio in a single device, enabling real-time data and video streaming over 3G/4G/Wi-Fi, making this device an ideal companion for any demanding application.

Hytera's VM780 offers optimal position detection and field assessment within the shortest possible time with the 216-degree swivel HD camera delivering high-resolution images safely and directly back to the control room. This LTE-enabled bodycam with speaker microphone, supports all common broadband frequencies in Europe, and has been designed primarily to capture, store and share high-definition, 256-bit encrypted video, audio and image data.

To transmit real time HD video, the VM780 uses H.265 video compression technology to minimise transmission bandwidth and all the important functions such as video recording or voice recording are controlled with one button. Equipped with GPS/GLONASS positioning features, a powerful 3500mAh battery which allows up-to nine hours of active operation for video, picture and sound recordings/standby mode of up-to ten days and with users able to operate the VM780 comfortably and quickly via the robust 2.8-inch colour touch display; this device offers all the important functions of a radio via push-to-talk-over-cellular (PoC).

Using the new Hytera application solutions HyTalk (release scheduled for autumn 2019) and P-PoC6000, it is possible to receive and place individual and group calls. With the emergency button, an alarm can be triggered at the press of a button in critical situations. With its PTT over Cellular (PoC) compatibility, it enables PoC app solutions to be used for optimum operation.

In addition to bluetooth, the VM780 can be used with the NFC module in scenarios in which tags have to be read, for example, for information requests and more. The IP68 protection standard and the MIL-STD-810 G certification make this bodycam an extremely robust companion for everyday use even in harsh environments.

"The VM780 bodycam is the new attractive all-in-one device with a built-in body-worn camera, remote speaker microphone, a touch display, 4G powerful hardware platform, and high in security.

The PoC functionality in conjunction with the upcoming Hytalk and P-PoC6000 application solution is a real highlight."
