End-to-End Intelligence Without Hardware Limits
Public safety agencies rely on video evidence to understand events, support investigations and protect personnel. But many still operate separate recording systems that function in isolation, adding workflow complexity and limiting visibility until after an incident has already ended.
Versaterm Visual Labs turns the smartphones officers already carry into body-worn, in-vehicle and interview room cameras, reducing hardware dependency while improving access to operational intelligence.
Immediate Tactical Awareness
Critical incidents evolve quickly, but supervisors are often forced to make decisions with limited visibility until officers provide updates or footage is reviewed later. That delay can create gaps in situational awareness when timing matters most.
Versaterm Visual Labs provides live video and audio streams that give supervisors real-time situational awareness as incidents unfold. This enables faster decision-making, stronger oversight and a clearer understanding of what is happening in the moment, not after the fact.
Persistent Officer Safety
When officers move beyond their patrol vehicles, maintaining accurate location awareness becomes more difficult. In fast-moving or high-risk situations, incomplete location data can delay support and increase risk to personnel.
Versaterm Visual Labs uses continuous GPS and cellular triangulation to provide exact officer location at all times, even when personnel are away from their vehicles. This ensures leadership and supporting units always have a clear picture of officer positioning in the field.
Automatic Evidence Upload
Manual evidence transfer at the end of a shift can slow down casework, introduce unnecessary steps and create opportunities for delay or mishandling. Traditional upload workflows also pull officers away from higher-value work.
Versaterm Visual Labs uploads all footage securely to the cloud directly from the field, eliminating the need for docking stations, kiosks or manual transfers. This accelerates evidence availability while reducing hardware dependencies and administrative burden.
Screen-Free Recording Control
During high-pressure incidents, interacting with a screen to manage recordings can create unnecessary distraction and slow response. Manual tagging after the fact also adds administrative work and increases the chance of incomplete records.
Versaterm Visual Labs uses dedicated physical buttons to start and stop recordings without requiring screen interaction. Items can also be automatically tagged from CAD, reducing manual entry and helping maintain accurate records with less officer effort.
Authenticated Chain of Custody
Evidence integrity depends on clear, documented accountability from the moment it is captured. Gaps in chain of custody can create unnecessary challenges during review, investigation and prosecution.
Versaterm Visual Labs creates a digital fingerprint for every recording, tracking and timestamping each file from the moment of capture. Location data is included automatically and made available instantly for authorized review, strengthening evidence integrity from the start.
Evidence Capture and Annotation
Capturing evidence in the field often involves switching between tools, creating fragmented workflows and increasing the risk of missing critical context. This can slow documentation and complicate case preparation later.
Versaterm Visual Labs enables officers to record video and audio, take evidentiary photos and add notes, tags and bookmarks directly from the device. All content syncs automatically to the evidence management platform, creating a more complete and connected record from the field.
The Body-Worn Camera. Reinvented.
Simplified Deployment
Deploying in-car video often requires proprietary hardware installs that add complexity, extend vehicle downtime and create another system for agencies to maintain. Over time, running separate dash camera and body-worn camera programs increases both cost and operational overhead.
Versaterm Visual Labs uses existing vehicle ports and wiring, eliminating the need for proprietary installation and helping fleets return to service faster. By consolidating in-car video into the same ecosystem as body-worn cameras, agencies reduce total cost of ownership and simplify long-term fleet management.
Lightbar Synchronization
Critical incidents often begin the moment emergency equipment is activated, but manual recording leaves room for delay or missed footage. Those first moments are often some of the most important for context and accountability.
Versaterm Visual Labs automatically starts recording when the lightbar activates, ensuring immediate capture as incidents begin and preserving a complete record from the first point of response.
Speed-Threshold Detection
Not every high-risk event begins with lights or sirens. Vehicle pursuits, urgent responses and other fast-moving situations can escalate quickly, creating gaps in footage if recording depends solely on manual activation.
Versaterm Visual Labs uses speed-threshold detection to begin recording automatically when a vehicle exceeds a defined speed. This ensures critical moments are captured during high-risk movement, even when other triggers are not engaged.
Linked Body-Worn Camera Activation
When in-car and body-worn cameras operate separately, evidence can become fragmented across timelines and devices. This can make review more difficult and limit the full picture of an incident.
Versaterm Visual Labs links body-worn camera activation directly to the in-car camera, triggering vehicle recording the moment an officer’s body-worn recording begins. This creates synchronized footage across perspectives for stronger context and evidence continuity.
Manual Activation Control
Automation improves consistency, but not every incident follows a predictable path. Officers still need flexibility to start recording when conditions call for it.
Versaterm Visual Labs gives officers full manual activation control when automatic triggers are not appropriate. This ensures flexibility in the field without compromising evidence capture.
This is exciting, exciting technology. We've gone away from the commonplace technology that's out there and we will be utilizing a smart device. We eliminate three devices and utilize one piece of equipment to better serve our community.
