The frame and bit rate should be definable by the department. 2.3Digital Video Sub-System, Microphones and Audio 1.The Digital Video Sub-System shall support up to two identical 900MHz Digital Spread Spectrum bi-directional wireless microphones and one in-car covert microphone. All wireless microphones must be identical. For maintenance and inventory considerations, systems requiring the department to track and support two different microphone types will not be considered. 2.To minimize cordless phone and other wireless interferences, the wireless microphones shall use 900 MHz frequency. Systems using 2.4Ghz will not be considered. 3.The digital recorder shall be able to record up to 3 independent audio tracks simultaneously. 4.To ensure audio evidences are recorded, the wireless microphone shall be in standby mode all the time, even when it is being charged. The wireless microphone shall have no on/off switch, and no charging/operation switch. To prevent accidentally loss of audio evidence because hardware switches were in the wrong position, microphones that rely on hardware switches to change between on/off and charging/operation modes shall not be considered. 5.Video recording shall have the ability to be activated from outside the vehicle using the wireless microphone. 6.The wireless microphone shall have at least two programmable buttons to be used to perform department specific functions, such as mute, auto-zoom, bookmark, snapshot, activating backseat camera in covert mode, etc. The functions to each of the wireless microphones can be changed dynamically based on the in-car unit's assigned tasks (such as traffic, DUI cars, gang squad, etc). 7.The wireless microphone shall not be capable of being turned off in the field other than by the officer stopping the recorder in the vehicle. The wireless microphone shall provide a mute function. The department shall, based on policy, be able to enable or disable the mute function on the microphone. When the mute function on the microphone is initiated by the officer, an event log entry shall be added to the video metadata. When the mute button is enabled, it must not require the officer to hold it down to remain mute. 8.The in-car covert microphone shall have the ability to be turned on or off manually by the officer. However, to comply with current or future regulation, the function to turn in-car microphone on and off shall be able to be disabled by administrator. 9.Live audio should be able to be turned on and off by the officer as situation requires. 10.The wireless microphone shall have a minimum range of 1,000 feet and a minimum of 20 channels that are auto-switched. 11.The wireless microphone shall be weather resistant and shall remain operable during inclement weather conditions. The microphone shall be sealed internally to reduce the possibilities of water / condensation from entering the microphone and damaging it. 12.The wireless microphone shall have a covert mode, under which all the audio and visual indicators are turned off and the microphone shall use vibration as status indicator. The covert mode shall be easy enough to enter and exit by pressing certain buttons on the microphone. 13.The wireless microphone shall be able to be activated when recording starts. The officer should not have to activate the wireless microphone manually when the recorder is activated. However, to comply with current or future regulations, the microphone should be able to be set to use manual activation only. 14.The wireless microphone shall use a lithium Ion rechargeable battery. The microphone should be able to be charged in the car, in the office or in a utility room. When charged in the utility room, to conserve space and power outlets needed, a multi-charger shall be provided by the vendor. 15.Replacement of the battery shall not require any special tool or disassembly of the microphone itself to remove the battery. 16.An external lapel microphone shall be optional and have no effect on or limit the range of the microphone. The lapel wired microphone shall not employ the lapel wire as an antenna. The external lapel microphone shall be able to be detached / attached to the microphone by the officer in the field at their discretion with no re-configuration of the system or loss of audio. 17.The wireless microphone shall have the ability to synchronize frequency with the recording unit; this allows the department to provide each officer with their own microphone to use with any of the vehicles equipped with the digital recording unit. This also eliminates the issue of other officers' microphones activating or interfering with another video recorder that is on the same scene. 18.The wireless microphone, once fully charged, shall have an 8 to 10 hour talk time and 48 hour standby time. 2.4Digital Video Sub-System, Storage and Security 1.The Digital Video Sub-System shall utilize ruggedized removable 32GB (minimum) Solid State Drive as a video storage media. The recording times achievable on the removable media for any video format should be a minimum of 25 hours. 2.To prevent damage to the video storage media when it is removed from the recording unit, if the media does not have ruggedized chassis it shall not be considered. 3.There shall be an internal Solid State fail-safe storage device to serve as backup storage of the videos on the car unit. To ensure highest availability, at any given time during a shift, videos recorded shall have two redundant copies. Systems that do not provide redundant copies of recorded videos will not be considered. 4.Video storage media shall be locked in the system and require a physical key to remove the media from the system. 5.To prevent recording video being stopped by accident, the video recording shall only be stopped by manually pressing the stop button on the control interface in the vehicle. 6.Recording time left on video storage media shall be displayed upon officer login to the system and shall prompt the officer when the media is near full capacity. 7.Recorded videos shall never be erased before they are uploaded to the server. To prevent videos from being accidentally erased, systems that rely on a manual "lock" or overwrite protect switch on them shall not be considered. 8.A unique digital signature shall provide video authentication and shall be created for each individual file at the time of recording using an MD5 hash (minimum) algorithm technology. If a different method of authenticating the recorded videos is developed in the future, the software upgrade shall be easily accomplished through an automatic server "push" to all servers and in car units. Digital Video Management software designed to authenticate, detect and reveal alterations to video files shall be provided. The digital signature for each individual file shall be created at the time that the original video file is captured, not at the end of the shift or after the file(s) have been uploaded to storage.
