Description of the goods or services required
The Camera
1. Durability and Robustness:
- Cameras must be rugged and weather-resistant to withstand the challenging outdoor environments typical of rail networks and stations.
- Must be shockproof and resistant to dust and moisture (IP67 rating or higher).
2. Video and Audio Quality:
- High-definition video recording (minimum 1080p) with clear audio capture.
- Low-light performance and infrared capabilities for night-time or poorly lit environments.
3. Battery Life:
- Long-lasting battery capable of recording a full shift (minimum 10-12 hours) with quick charge capability.
4. Data Storage and Management:
- Secure storage of recorded footage with encryption.
- Adequate onboard storage (e.g., 64GB) and/or cloud integration.
- Automatic upload to secure servers when in a designated docking station.
5. User Interface and Controls:
- Simple, user-friendly operation with easy start/stop recording functions.
- Visual/audible indicators for recording status and battery life.
6. Mounting and Comfort:
- Lightweight and easily mountable on various uniforms or safety vests.
- Must not obstruct the wearer's movement or comfort during extended use.
7. Compliance and Privacy:
- Adherence to data protection regulations and privacy standards (e.g., GDPR).
- Options for turning off audio/video recording in restricted areas or during private conversations.
8. Connectivity:
- Integration with wireless networks (e.g., Wi-Fi, LTE) for real-time streaming if needed.
- GPS tagging for location-based recording and incident tracking.
9. Resilience to Vibration:
- Cameras should be capable of maintaining stable recording even in high-vibration environments common on rail networks.
10. Incident Reporting and Documentation:
- Integrated features for tagging incidents during recording, allowing for easier review and documentation.
These requirements would ensure that body-worn cameras deployed in railway environments are reliable, secure, and effective in supporting safety and security operations.
The Backroom Software
1. Video and Audio Management:
- High-Quality Playback: Support for smooth playback of high-definition video (minimum 1080p) with synchronized audio.
- Frame-by-Frame Analysis: Ability to examine footage frame by frame for detailed investigation.
- Audio Filtering and Enhancement: Tools for enhancing audio clarity, including noise reduction and voice isolation.
2. Editing Capabilities
- Non-Destructive Editing: Editing tools that allow trimming, redacting, and annotating footage without altering the original file.
- Annotation Tools: Features for adding notes, highlighting areas of interest, and timestamping specific incidents within the video.
- Redaction: Ability to blur faces, license plates, or other sensitive information to protect privacy when required.
3. Metadata Handling
- GPS and Timestamp Integration: Display of embedded metadata such as GPS coordinates, timestamps, and camera ID during playback.
- Tagging and Bookmarking: Ability to tag and bookmark key events or moments in the footage for quick reference during investigations.
4. Data Security and Integrity
- Encryption: End-to-end encryption of footage during storage and transmission to prevent unauthorized access.
- Audit Trail: Automatic logging of all access, views, edits, and exports, ensuring a clear audit trail for evidential purposes.
- Watermarking: Ability to apply forensic watermarks to video exports to verify authenticity and deter tampering.
5. Search and Retrieval
- Advanced Search Capabilities: Ability to search footage by metadata (e.g., date, time, location, camera ID) or keywords added during tagging.
- Efficient Retrieval: Fast retrieval of footage from large databases, with options for filtering by incidents or specific time frames.
6. Export and Sharing
- Format Compatibility: Support for exporting footage in various formats (e.g., MP4, AVI) with customizable resolution and quality settings.
- Chain of Custody Documentation: Automated generation of reports detailing the chain of custody for each exported video file, essential for legal admissibility.
- Secure Sharing: Secure methods for sharing footage with external stakeholders (e.g., police, accident investigators) via encrypted links or direct transfer.
7. User Access and Permissions
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Fine-grained control over user permissions, ensuring only authorized personnel can view, edit, or export footage.
- Multi-Level Authentication: Implementation of multi-factor authentication (MFA) for accessing sensitive footage, enhancing security.
8. Compliance and Legal Requirements
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensure the software complies with relevant data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR) and evidence-handling protocols.
- Automatic Retention Policies: Ability to set and enforce retention schedules according to legal requirements, with automatic deletion or archiving after a set period.
9. Integration with Other Systems
- Case Management System (CMS) Integration: Seamless integration with existing case management systems used by police (BTP DEMs) and accident investigators.
- Real-Time Alerts and Notifications: Integration with incident reporting systems to automatically flag footage of potential interest in real-time.
10. Scalability and Performance
- Scalability: The software should handle large volumes of footage from multiple sources across the network without performance degradation.
- Cloud and On-Premises Options: Availability of both cloud-based and on-premises deployment options to suit different organizational needs.
