Patrol video that holds up when it counts

Dash, cabin, and body-worn cameras, an in-car recorder, and CJIS-aware evidence management, built around the chain of custody and installed by the people who specced it.

THE PROBLEM

The footage is only as good as the chain behind it

Patrol video gets challenged. A defense attorney questions whether the file was altered, a public-records request lands with a deadline, an internal review needs the angle nobody captured, or the one stop that mattered never offloaded from the car. In-car video clears officers and closes cases, but only when the system captured the moment, proved its own integrity, and survived long enough to be produced. Too many agencies run cameras that record fine and fail everywhere else: no coordinated trigger, manual offload that does not happen, storage that cannot show who touched what. Sector builds the whole chain for law enforcement, from the lens to the retention policy, and installs it to patrol standards.

WHY SECTOR FOR THIS SOLUTION

We come from public safety

Sector's roots are in law enforcement and first response, where a lost recording is not a paperwork problem. That background shows up in how we handle chain of custody, CJIS-aligned practices, and the questions a prosecutor will ask later. We build the evidence system the way the people who rely on it need it built.

We install to patrol standards

Sector technicians do the upfit themselves, with power isolation, clean routing, proper mounting, and per-vehicle commissioning. The cameras sit where they need to sit, the recorder survives a hot cabin, and the install is logged for every car and backed by our workmanship guarantee for the life of the system.

We are not locked to one vendor

Sector deploys more than one proven patrol video platform and recommends based on your agency, not on a contract we are trying to fill. If your evidence lives better in the cloud or on a local server, if you need a specific integration or a particular retention policy, we spec to that. The goal is the right system for your agency, not the easy sale.

INSIDE THE PATROL SYSTEM

Capture

Dual 4K, ALPR, and low-light that actually works

The patrol front camera does more than record. Dual 4K resolution gives you a wide panoramic view that keeps the whole stop on camera alongside a second lens tuned for detail, and built-in AI license plate recognition reads plates from distance and flags hits as you drive. Low-light performance holds color and detail when there is almost no light, so the footage is usable at two in the morning, not just at noon. Cabin and rear cameras add prisoner-transport and back-seat coverage, all built to military environmental standards for the cabin of a working patrol vehicle.

Record

The recorder is the data hub

At the center of the vehicle is the in-car recorder, a compact, fanless unit that captures multiple camera feeds and vehicle data at the same time to solid-state, encrypted storage. It is the hub the rest of the system runs through, coordinating triggers, tagging events, and doing edge processing such as license plate recognition at the point of capture. Its small footprint preserves cabin legroom, and its solid-state design holds up to the heat and vibration of patrol while keeping evidence encrypted to 256-bit AES.

Record once, capture everywhere

In-car video does its best work tied to the officer's body-worn camera. Coordinated triggering means a light bar activation, a door opening, or a hard G-force event starts the in-car cameras and the body-worn camera at the same time, so the incident is captured from every angle without anyone reaching for a button. The body-worn camera doubles as the wireless microphone for the in-car system, which takes weight off the vest. The result is a multi-perspective record of the same event, captured automatically.

MOVE

Offload and tagging without the busywork

The step that fails most often is the human one. Sector configures automated offload, so that when the vehicle pulls into Wi-Fi range at the station, video moves to storage on its own, and body-worn cameras offload and charge in a multi-bay dock. Officers add case numbers and metadata to the video from the in-car display while it is fresh, so footage arrives at the evidence system already tagged and searchable instead of as a pile of nameless files someone has to sort later.

Evidence management that survives a challenge

Footage is only evidence if you can prove no one altered it. The management layer Sector deploys uses role-based access with optional multi-factor authentication, encryption in transit and at rest, and full audit logging of every view, edit, and share, so the chain of custody is traceable end to end. Redaction and transcription are built in for public-records work. Retention is configurable, with cloud access for fast sharing with prosecutors or an on-premise design for high-volume storage, and the whole backend follows CJIS-aligned practices.

The right platform, honestly recommended

There is no single right patrol video platform for every agency, so Sector deploys more than one and recommends based on what fits. We will walk you through the tradeoffs in camera lineup, evidence management, cloud versus on-premise retention, and integration with the systems you already run, then spec the platform that serves your agency rather than the one that is easiest to sell. Talk to us about your current setup and we will tell you straight which path makes sense.

HOW AN ENGAGEMENT WORKS

1

Tell us how your fleet runs

Tell us how many vehicles you run, what your evidence and retention requirements are, and what you already have in the cars.

2

Sector specs the patrol system

Sector recommends the platform and specs the cameras, recorder, offload, and evidence management as one system built for your agency.

3

You review before anything is ordered

You see the full design and pricing before any equipment is ordered, so there are no surprises at install.

4

We install, commission, and support

Sector technicians install and commission the system in each vehicle, then support it for the life of the system.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The evidence backend follows CJIS-aligned practices: secure storage, role-based access with optional multi-factor authentication, encryption in transit and at rest, and full auditability. We will walk through your agency's specific requirements as part of the design.

Either, and we help you decide. Cloud gives you fast sharing with prosecutors and offsite redundancy. An on-premise design suits high-volume retention and agencies that want footage on their own servers. Retention windows are configurable to your policy.

The in-car and body-worn cameras are designed to trigger together and share a record, and officers can tag footage from the in-car display. Integration with your existing computers and records systems depends on what you run, so tell us your current setup and we will confirm what connects.

No. Sector deploys more than one proven patrol video platform and recommends based on your agency rather than a single vendor. We will lay out the tradeoffs and spec the one that fits.

Sector technicians do the full upfit and commission each vehicle, backed by a workmanship guarantee. After deployment you get one point of contact for firmware, warranty, RMA handling, and reconfiguration as vehicles rotate.
