EOD Helmet Live Video

EOD Helmet  Live Video gives Commanders and members of the support team the ability to see and hear what’s happening downrange in real time.  This significantly improves their situational awareness, ability to support the technician and allows the communications to focus on Render Safe Procedures instead of describing the scene. The system also records video and audio on-board the camera and on a laptop at the Command Post for analysis after the incident, as well as criminal prosecution and training.

EOD Helmet  Live Video gives Commanders and members of the support team the ability to see and hear what’s happening downrange in real time.  This significantly improves their situational awareness, ability to support the technician and allows the communications to focus on Render Safe Procedures instead of describing the scene. The system also records video and audio on-board the camera and on a laptop at the Command Post for analysis after the incident, as well as criminal prosecution and training.

The camera is integrated into the visor and set at an optimized angle that focuses on the operator’s hands and not directly ahead. It is far more secure and reliable than attaching an external camera elsewhere on the helmet or suit. Its low profile reduces the risk of snagging. The wireless radio link can be set to different channels within the 2.4 GHz band and the system includes a carry case to hold the encoder, radio and extra Shielded Power Supply (SPS). Command Post software application to control and display video stream is included, and is Windows 8.1, 7 and XP compatible.

The system consists of 3 main components:

  • Visor-mounted camera and encoder
  • Bomb suit module
    • Simplex communications transmitter back to the Command Post and Bomb Technician / EOD operator
  • Command Post module
    • Live Audio / Video streaming software application at the command post
    • Antenna deployed at the Command Post to receive and transmit signals
  • Wireless live-streaming High Definition (HD) Video and Audio transmission
  • Simultaneous recording in the encoder on-board the bomb suit and at the Command Post for mission support, training reviews and evidence collection
  • Camera is seamlessly integrated into the visor at an optimized viewing angle to capture the operator’s hands and minimize risk of snagging
  • Permanent mounting eliminates inconsistent angles and snags related to mounting consumer-grade cameras
  • No action required by the Bomb Technician or EOD Operator, which allows focus on the task, not the camera
  • Adjustable Radio Frequency to comply with local spectrum allocation
  • Adjustable video quality to prolong battery duration
  • Broadcast radius of up to 500m (1,640’) for Line Of Sight and up to 100m Non-Line Of Sight, depending upon the operational environment
  • Standalone add-on system (uses a Shielded Power Supply [SPS] battery pack) to avoid draining the helmet’s primary power supply
  • Works in a wide range of temperatures using MIL-STD-810G, methods 502.5 and 501.5
  • Dust and water protection (IP55-Rated)
  • Does not interfere with the visor’s ability to lock in the lowered or raised position
