Further Research

Further research has been suggested so that future features of body-cameras may include automatic video recording enabled by certain triggers such as noise level, spiked heart rate of the equipped officer, or facial and voice recognition capabilities (Bakardjiev, 2016). Stanley also suggests that automated triggers be enabled on body-cameras similar to those of dashcams which are often activated simultaneously with the lights or sirens (2013, 2015). In addition to the possible automation of recording, further research should be sought in order to deal with the potential issue of mass amounts of data storage and the security issues that come along with it. Furthermore, data storage and security also incorporates issues of department budgets and/or grants and funding.
