This new system, appropriately named “Watchguard,” digitally records police/citizen contacts, and then wirelessly transmits these events to a secure server. Along with the new HD video, this upgrade also includes new wireless microphones with a line of sight range of up to two miles, and it is capable of maintaining audio reception through buildings, greatly exceeding previous capabilities.
