will have a dash cam up front pointed out of the windscreen, with a wide three-lane field of view. An additional interior camera will be fitted in the cabin, pointed at the backseat. This camera can capture a “knee-to-head occupant view” and features enhanced night view capabilities with infrared. The forward-facing dash cam is automatically activated when an officer switches their light bar on.
The camera system is the Fleet 3 from Axom, a company that already has a contract with the LAPD for its Body 3 body cameras and Taser devices. Although not mentioned in the official release from the LAPD, according tothe Fleet 3 can also act as an Automated License Plate Reader with AI that are able to read eight times more number plates than other units. In addition, the data can be monitored via a central network.
What we do know, though, is that the new camera system has other neat tricks. For instance, the Fleet 3 can pair with officer’s Axom bodycams to capture sound, eliminating the need for separate mics that could get dislodged in altercations. And, with the installation of new routers from Cradlepoint, videos from the Fleet 3 and the bodycams can be instantly uploaded to the system’s cloud for review by commanders. The routers use both FirstNet and Verizon Wireless networks to ensure connectivity.
