Lately there have been many new companies popping up offering various wireless video products to law enforcement agencies. While the concept of wireless video transmission has been around for many years and there are indeed a number of genuinely useful products to help you do your job, we need to cover some basic technical, operational and legal information so you can decide if these products are suitable for you. Video surveillance can be a potent tool for law enforcement. A very basic video system consists of a camera, a video monitor and/or recorder, and some sort of transmission media to connect the camera to the other stuff. Normally coaxial cable is used to transfer the video signal generated by the camera to somewhere else where you can do something with it. Many applications involve situations where it would be convenient (if not mandatory) to have the camera placed at some location where it's not practical to run a cable from the camera. This might be a camera inside a building monitored from the parking lot (or vice versa), a sting in a hotel room monitored from another room, video needing to be sent between buildings, from covert packages such as briefcases, or the like. Remote cameras also are used in hazmat and tactical situations where it may be dangerous to place an officer right at the scene.
