TiVO and DV for 'COPS'

police_dv_camera.jpg

An AP story about the Tyler, TX police department, which recently replaced its tape-based in-car video systems with searchable, metadata-friendly hard drive-based DV. Using the system's cache, the "pre-event" feature also captures the 60 seconds before the officer hits the 'record' button.

The system is from IBM and uses Coban Research & Technologies, manufacturer of the TopCamĘ visor-mounted camera.
