It's not just for cops anymore ‐ How this tiny body cam lets anyone record everything
2023-12-31
[FoxNews] Body cameras aren't just for law enforcement anymore.

Body cameras are usually associated with law enforcement, but what if you could have one for yourself?

Imagine being able to capture everything that happens around you and send a distress signal to your family or friends if you need help.

That’s what PhoneCam, a tiny, affordable and smart AI-powered device, can do for you.

PhoneCam connects to your smartphone and uses its microphone, CPU and connectivity (Wi-Fi, 4G/5G). It has an app that allows you to activate recording with a short press and instantly alert emergency contacts with a long press — providing additional security in critical situations.

You can also set up a pre-selected emergency contact who will receive an alarm call with your location and video feed.

PhoneCam uses the phone's powerful CUP and, therefore, is able to run advanced AI. PhoneCam plans to incorporate other AI in the future to recognize faces, objects and scenes, and provide useful information and suggestions.

IS YOUR DATA SECURE WITH THE BODY CAMERA?
Of course. Until it’s not.
PhoneCam says it adheres to the strictest data security and claims that it cannot access your stored videos and that your data will be stored locally on U.S. servers. As for privacy, the company says on its website that PhoneCam does not record without your activation.

THE COMPANY BEHIND THE HIGH-TECH BODY CAM DEVICE
PhoneCam was developed by SLIMDESIGN, a product design and development company. Its CEO and design director, Wouter Konings, says:

"Consumers and businesses have had limited access to a wearable camera that could help keep them safe — until now. We aimed to transform the way people perceive and utilize body cameras by introducing a compact, non-threatening alternative to the traditional model. PhoneCam’s sleek, lightweight design houses a powerful, AI-driven body camera, and the wide range of features keep users connected to resources that can help on short notice."

PhoneCam is expected to start production in 2024 and will be available for $69 on the company's website.
