fi rst be stored on the bodycam and later offl oaded; it can also be livestreamed directly and centrally
viewed immediately. Both types of videos are then stored, reviewed, and managed on the central
server or cloud with the ZEPCAM Manager software, in accordance with all applicable privacy laws and
regulations. The T3 Live Bodycam is light, easy to use, ruggedised and has a long battery life.

Characteristics of the ZEPCAM T3 Live
The status of the T3 is shown on the LCD display.
The T3 Live Bodycam can be used for recording and livestreaming video. Recorded video is locally
stored on the bodycam. Livestreamed video is streamed in real time to the Zepcam server or Cloud
and can be viewed using ZEPCAM Manager. The video that is being livestreamed can be of lower
quality due to bandwidth limitations of the network. The ZEPCAM system has an automatic bandwidth
management system to ensure stream stability and low latency. The bandwidth management system
measures network congestion and automatically adjusts the video bitrate. The video that is recorded
on-device is always of the highest quality, to ensure the best possible evidence.
The T3 Live Bodycam connects to ZEPCAM Manager to run and manage all aspects of the bodycam
operation: devices, users, settings, authorisations, viewing, sharing, and managing videos as (legal)
evidence and actionable data for a range of purposes.
