Body-worn 4G cameras and Android phones now stream straight into your Nevtech VMS — live on the wall next to your fixed cameras, recorded to the cloud with the same retention, playback and clip tools. And it talks back: hold one button and your voice comes out of the wearer's speaker. Coverage is no longer bolted to a wall.
No gateway hardware, no IP addresses, no port forwarding. A mobile camera joins the platform the same way every Nevtech device does — with a one-time pairing and its own revocable credentials.
Cameras → Add camera. Pick Phone camera for Android, or create a mobile ingest for a body-worn unit. The platform mints credentials for that one device.
Phones scan a QR code and enter a one-time pairing code — that's the whole setup. Body-worn 4G cameras are pointed at your stream address with their per-device credentials, once.
Live view, cloud recording at your plan's retention, timeline playback, clip export, sharing, permissions — everything your fixed cameras have, because to the platform it is simply a camera.
Converged TETRA + LTE radios run Android — and Nevtech Bodycam runs on them. One device on the vest instead of two: TETRA voice stays exactly as your operations run it today, while the LTE side streams live video, uploads evidence as it happens, and answers whose camera was it at shift start. The app installs as a signed APK from your own deployment — no Google Play required — which is precisely what hardened, GMS-less fleet devices demand. Nothing new to buy, nothing new to carry, nothing new to charge.
Fixed cameras watch places. These watch work — and the footage lands in the same system of record either way.
Every patrol is a live stream and a recording. Supervisors watch rounds in real time; clients get clip-backed reports instead of checkbox logs.
Footage uploads as it happens — not at end of shift. A confiscated, damaged or "lost" device doesn't take the recording with it. Clip it, timestamp it, share it.
Staff on foot become roaming coverage across a venue with zero installation — and one held button reaches every unit within a mile at once. When the event ends, so does the deployment; nothing to un-mount.
Walk the site, narrate as you go, and the walkthrough is recorded, replayable and shareable next to the site's fixed cameras. Disputes end with a timestamp.
Maintenance techs, night staff and remote crews stream while they work — the operator has live eyes and sound the moment something goes wrong, and can answer back through the wearer's speaker without a phone call.
A phone on a tripod is a fully recording camera in five minutes — cover a vacant unit, a temporary lot, or a hot corner while the permanent install is scheduled.
Standalone bodycam platforms are another login, another retention policy, another export ritual with an SD card at end of shift. Here, footage from people and footage from places live in the same timeline — governed by the same permissions, retention and audit story your organization already runs.
Recording is what a bodycam owes the courtroom. These three are what it owes the officer wearing it — while the incident is still happening.
See every unit. Everyone in your organization sees every mobile unit's live position — on the map page, and as small named dots right on the video tile while you watch an officer's feed. Who's nearby is a glance, not a radio question. (Locations are shared with everyone; watching a unit's video still follows each user's camera permissions.)
Talk to one. Hold the Talk button on any bodycam's tile and your voice plays on the wearer's loudspeaker. Half-duplex, like a radio: while you speak, their microphone mutes itself, then returns the moment you release. No phone call, no second app, no number to dial.
Broadcast to a mile. Watching one officer and need everyone around them? Hold Broadcast: the system takes that unit's live GPS position and sends your voice to every unit within a mile of it — chosen at the moment you press, from live positions, with an on-screen count of exactly how many units are receiving.
Cellular coverage is not a promise anyone can keep — stairwells, basements, steel structures and rural roads all take a bodycam off the network. The question is never whether the signal drops. It is what the footage can prove afterwards.
When the network goes, the Bodycam app keeps recording locally and uploads the moment signal returns. That much is table stakes. What matters in a hearing is the arithmetic that comes with it: every segment carries a hash calculated on the device, and the segments are numbered contiguously.
So a missing segment is visible as a missing number. A recording that stopped and never mentioned it is the failure mode that loses cases, and it is the one thing this design refuses to allow. This is a buffer that uploads itself — not an end-of-shift card pull that depends on someone remembering to dock the unit.
Officers check in at the beginning of a shift with their name and badge as declared on the device. Everything that camera captures for that shift is attributed to the officer who was wearing it — recorded at the time, not reconstructed from a duty roster months later when someone asks who held the camera. Attribution is a field on the footage, not an argument.
Chain of custody, tamper-evident audit, redaction, legal holds and exports that opposing counsel can verify offline are the Evidence Management add-on — built for the courtroom, and it treats body-worn footage as a first-class source.
Built for the courtroom — see Evidence ManagementThis mode doesn't wait for a button. The camera listens on the device — and the phrases that trigger it are the ones that come out of your mouth anyway when something goes wrong.
Nobody under stress remembers a code word. "SOS" and "mark incident" are the built-in phrases — the recognizer's vocabulary is locked to exactly those two, so it physically cannot transcribe anything else you say. Saying them IS pressing the button: the moment is marked, recording is triggered, and an SOS phrase raises the same alert as holding the SOS button — operator screen, webhook, email. (Custom organization phrases — "I need backup," "call 911" — are next on the roadmap.)
Behind the voice cues sits an event-driven recording mode: the camera runs armed but silent, holding the last two minutes in a rolling buffer. A gunshot-like bang, breaking glass, shouting, a door forced open, a fall or violent shake — any of these trips it. The two minutes before the trigger and two minutes after upload immediately; recording continues until an operator stands it down or the scene goes quiet. All detection runs on the phone — no audio leaves the device except as recorded evidence, and a visible notification shows whenever the camera is armed.
And the part your data plan will notice: in this mode the camera streams nothing. Mobile data is spent only on event footage — live view comes up only when an operator actually opens the camera, and tears itself down when they look away. The same discipline our edge recorders already run, applied to a camera that walks.
The gunshot classifier is trained on real recordings, and every trigger family is tuned per deployment with us during onboarding — your building, your street, your sound floor, rather than a lab's. Book a demo and we'll set it up on a real device in front of you.
The free Nevtech Camera app turns any Android 8.0+ phone into a cloud camera — pair with a QR code, tap Go Live. Streams with the screen off and reconnects through network drops.
Download the app →Body cameras with an LTE radio that can push an RTSP stream connect with per-device credentials over TLS — most current 4G bodycam models can. Send us your model and we'll verify it before you buy a fleet.
Ask about your model →Fixed Axis cameras have their own on-camera app — no gateway, no recorder, direct to the cloud with two-way audio and PTZ.
The Axis camera app →Mission-critical TETRA + LTE hybrid radios run Android under the hood — which means the radio your officers already carry can be the bodycam. The app installs as a signed APK from your own deployment's downloads page, so it works on hardened builds without Google Play; TETRA voice is untouched, and the LTE side carries the video. Check-in at shift start still answers "whose camera was it," and the SOS cue raises the same alert as the radio's own emergency button.
Converged TETRA + 4G LTE Android portable: 5" glove-usable Gorilla Glass, dual cameras, a 3-microphone noise-suppressed audio front end, IP68, MIL-STD-810H. Chest-worn with the rear camera out, the officer's primary radio doubles as an evidence camera — and its noise-mitigated mics are exactly what voice cues want.
Dual-mode TETRA + LTE rugged Android radio with dual HD cameras, IP68, and a 1.5 m all-angle drop rating at 325 g. Built for patrol and industrial security fleets: capture and stream from the same handset that carries the site's radio traffic.
Hytera's multi-mode advanced radio — TETRA + LTE on Android with 13 MP front and rear cameras. Fleet note: this line has shipped across several Android generations, so we verify your units' firmware meets the app's Android 8.0 floor before rollout.
The first full TETRA radio and smartphone in one device — 4.7" screen, front and rear cameras, IP65/67, and designed by Airbus to be worn on the lapel capturing video. That is this app's use case in hardware form. Early units run older Android; per-unit verification applies.
A tri-mode TETRA + LTE emergency handheld aimed at emergency management, rail transit and airports, with external sensor interfaces. Compact enough to be carried as a dedicated wearable camera-radio where a full-size portable is too much.
The rule is simple: Android 8.0 or newer, a camera, a microphone and an LTE data path. We verify every model against a real account before you commit a fleet — the same promise we make for third-party body cameras. Our current pick, mapped line-by-line to the platform: the reference handset.
Ask about your radios →Ingest is RTSP over TLS (RTSPS) with per-device credentials. Streams are encrypted in transit; every device can be revoked individually.
A mobile camera counts like any other camera — per camera, per month, published pricing, your plan's retention. No bodycam platform fee, no per-officer licensing. And because a body camera records in episodes rather than continuously, the video quality bands don't apply to it — record at whatever quality your evidence rules require, no uplift charged, with a fair-use allowance of 150 recorded hours per device per month (a full shift pattern with room to spare).

Any body-worn camera with a 4G/LTE radio that can push an RTSP stream with a username and password — a capability most current 4G models advertise. We don't sell hardware and we don't lock you to a brand: tell us the model you're considering and we'll verify it against a real account before you commit to a fleet.
The app is Android, free, and runs on any Android 8.0+ phone — including the rugged handsets and TETRA radios above. If iOS matters to your deployment, tell us when you book a demo: the roadmap is shaped by exactly that kind of signal.
Encrypted in transit (TLS), authenticated with credentials minted for that one device, revocable per device without touching the rest of your fleet. Once footage lands, it's governed by the same permissions, retention and audit trail as every other camera in your account.
Nothing extra — it's a mode of the same Bodycam app, on the same per-camera price. No separate SKU for using less data. Trigger sensitivity is tuned with us per deployment during onboarding, so the detectors match your environment instead of a lab's — the gunshot head arrives already trained on real recordings. Book a demo and we'll show it live.
Yes — hold the Talk button on the camera's tile and your voice plays on the wearer's loudspeaker (Bodycam app v1.2.0+, a free update). It's half-duplex like a radio: while you speak, the wearer's microphone mutes itself, then returns when you release. The wearer needs their media volume up — worth adding to your shift checklist. Administrators also get Broadcast: hold it and every unit within a mile of the officer you're watching hears you at once, chosen from live GPS at the moment you press.
Yes — every mobile unit's live position shows on the map and as named dots on the video tile, visible to everyone in your organization, not just supervisors. A position older than three minutes goes grey rather than pretending to be live, and movement trails are kept for seven days. One deliberate rule: locations are shared org-wide, but watching a unit's video still follows each user's camera permissions — the dot shares where a colleague is, never their footage.
Physically, yes — it's their device and the law in many places requires that ability. What the platform gives you is visibility: a mobile camera shows online/offline on the wall like any camera, gaps are visible in the timeline, and everything streamed up to that moment is already in the cloud and can't be deleted from the device.
The Nevtech bodycam runs on a rugged Android handset with its own 4G connection: on shift it streams live video and GPS position to the console, an operator can talk back through the wearer’s speaker, and SOS reaches the control room instantly with location. In dead zones the camera keeps recording locally and uploads fingerprinted footage when signal returns — a coverage gap is a pause in streaming, never a hole in the record.
Fifteen minutes, a phone, and your own eyes on the wall — that's the demo.
