1. Introduction
Transcend’s DrivePro™Body 70 is an easy-to-operate wearable video camera that is tailor-made for
police officers, security guards, military personnel, and other professionals to capture real time
videos and photos of events. The DrivePro Body 70 features a camera unit connected to the main
unit by a flexible cable, allowing for a wide variety of attachment options and best recording
perspective. The Sony sensor can capture high-resolution images even in low light conditions. The
built-in GPS receiver allows for GPS coordinates to be embedded on footage, enabling accurate
retracing to the site of an incident. Paired with Transcend’s exclusive DrivePro Body App, the Wi-Fi
network and Bluetooth allows live streaming to smartphones and adjusting the function settings.
The DrivePro Body 70 features a 140° wide angle lens and records videos in QHD 1440P (30FPS)
with a F2.0 aperture. The handy snapshot function allows for taking photos while recording. The
high-capacity built-in Li-Polymer battery can record up to 10 hours of recording on a single charge.
The internal 64GB storage allows users to store up to 13 hours of QHD 1440P video. In addition, the
camera is IP68 water and dust resistant, and meets rigorous US military drop-test standards for
shock resistance.
The DrivePro Body Toolbox provides a password protection mechanism to protect the recorded data.
For enterprises or departments that purchase multiple DrivePro Body cameras, Transcend’s optional
6-port Docking Station offers the best solution as each port can simultaneously charge and upload
the recorded data to your database.
