Balancing Connectivity and Battery: Power Optimization in Body Worn Cameras
8 PagesThis whitepaper explores how connectivity features impact the power consumption of body worn cameras. Live streaming over Wi-Fi or LTE, location tracking, and remote activation all influence battery life, with LTE consuming significantly more power than Wi-Fi. Testing shows operating time can drop from 15 hours (no connectivity) to as low as 7 hours under heavy LTE usage. Factors such as video resolution, motion, and hosting configuration also affect performance. The paper emphasizes choosing optimal settings and conducting real-world testing to ensure devices last through a full shift while maintaining reliable connectivity and real-time monitoring capabilities.
