If you’re a movie buff, you’ll recognize that famous line, sneered by Bette Davis as Margo Channing in the ’50s classic drama All About Eve.
If you’re a video buff, you’ll want to check out online video-sharing site Vimeo. Vimeo bills itself as “People connecting through video”: a thriving community for people to upload, store, and share video. You could say that our business, too, is people connecting through video–mobile video, that is.
Safety Vision’s first posting on Vimeo was provided by a police car video camera customer here in the great state of Texas. The video depicts a night-time ride that ends when the officer misjudges a turn and flips his vehicle. (This same clip had earlier been posted with other police video clips on policeone.com’s BLUtube.)
This police department uses our four-camera PatrolRecorder 4C in-car patrol video surveillance system. Listen closely, and you’ll note that the system’s audio is automatically triggered by the event. This combination of video and audio recording provides a comprehensive, accurate reconstruction of the scene–before, during, and after an accident or other incident under review. “Just the facts, ma’am,” as Sgt. Joe Friday was given to say.
