Enforcement officers in the Philippines are using body cameras to improve traffic safety. 3558 Digital Barriers' bodyworn devices send live streaming footage back to a control centre to enable faster response times for road accidents and emergencies in the City of Makati, part of the Manila metropolitan area.


The company's EdgeVis Live solution is powering the live-streaming capability. Digital Barriers claims the platform creates live streaming from any location, including over wireless networks. The bodyworn cameras can operate for eight hours and are equipped with a panic button to provide traffic officers additional protection.

EdgeVis is based on patented transport video interface (TVI) video compression technology.

    The adaptation of machine vision to transport applications continues apace. That the machine vision industry is taking traffic installations seriously is evident by the amount of hardware and software products tailor-made for ITS applications that are now available on the market. A good example comes from US-based Gridsmart Technologies which has developed a single wire fisheye camera that provides a horizon to horizon view for use at intersections. Not only does the single camera replace four or more in a
