ZEPCAM Highlights Bodycam Deployment with Dynamic User ID: Enhanced Flexibility and Cost Saving

Once authenticated, all recordings, GPS data, and metadata are linked to the user in ZEPCAM Manager.

ZEPCAM, a leading provider of body-worn camera solutions, announced the widespread availability of its innovative Dynamic User ID feature, transforming how organizations manage and deploy bodycams. Available on the ZEPCAM T2 Endura and T3 Live models, Dynamic User ID enables secure, session-based sharing of devices, significantly reducing hardware costs, streamlining operations, and maintaining full accountability for every recording.

Traditionally, assigning one bodycam per user has been standard practice. However, for today's dynamic teams, this often leads to unnecessary expenses, underutilized equipment, and increased administrative burden. ZEPCAM's Dynamic User ID offers a smarter, more scalable approach, allowing teams to operate with fewer cameras while ensuring every session is accurately attributed and securely logged within ZEPCAM Manager.

The process is seamless and intuitive. At the beginning of a shift, users authenticate themselves to claim a camera for that session. On the T3 Live, this is achieved by scanning a QR code on the device and then an RFID badge. For the T2 Endura, authentication occurs via a USB keyboard or RFID reader at the docking station. Once authenticated, all recordings, GPS data, and metadata are automatically linked to the specific user in ZEPCAM Manager, guaranteeing full traceability regardless of how frequently a device is shared.

This innovative solution delivers substantial benefits, including lower overall costs and a reduced total cost of ownership. By facilitating shared use, Dynamic User ID minimizes the number of devices an organization needs, leading to decreased capital investment and maintenance expenses. Operationally, it simplifies workflows; devices become "grab-and-go," allowing users to quickly pick up any available bodycam, log in, and begin their shift without manual reallocation or delays. Crucially, it ensures secure and transparent evidence management, as each session is recorded with a verified user identity, linking all data to the correct person and upholding evidential integrity.

Dynamic User ID is already proving invaluable across diverse sectors. In law enforcement and municipal policing, officers working shifts or across different areas can share bodycams without compromising accountability. Public transport operations benefit from shared camera pools, with every detail logged for full traceability. Private security and facility protection teams gain deployment flexibility while maintaining personal accountability for recordings. Healthcare and emergency response personnel ensure continuity of access and compliance with shared equipment. Even infrastructure and utilities field workers can track their sessions automatically, removing the need for permanent assignments.

Fully integrated with ZEPCAM Manager and supporting both cloud and on-premises deployments, Dynamic User ID offers organizations a practical and powerful way to enhance equipment efficiency, strengthen accountability, and achieve significant long-term cost savings.
