Why 68% of Agencies Overpay for Cameras That Fail in Chases, Court & Chaos – RECODA's Field Survival Guide

The Hidden $83k Cost of "Good Enough" Body Cameras

When evidence gets thrown out over pixelated footage or dead batteries during a critical arrest, your $300 camera just cost your department:

$50,000+ in wasted officer hours & litigation
Case dismissals when evidence chain breaks
Headlines like "Bodycam Fails During Fatal Shooting"

*Fact: 42% of US agencies replace body cams within 2 years due to poor durability/data gaps (FBI Tech Survey 2023).*

RECODA Fix: Deployed 500 units with rapid-dock stations. Result: 0 evidence losses during 18-day crisis.

Case 2: Border Patrol Unit (Arizona)
Problem: Dust clogged mic ports, killing audio in 79% of drug busts.
RECODA Fix: IP68 sealed mics + ultrasonic self-cleaning. Result: 100% audio integrity in sandstorms.
