Body-worn cameras have become an important tool in modern law enforcement, providing video and audio recordings of interactions between police officers and the public. In Summerville, city officials have approved a technology upgrade designed to better protect those recordings and preserve them as potential evidence in criminal investigations.

During its September meeting, the Summerville City Council unanimously approved a contract with Pro-Vision, the company that already provides body-worn cameras for the Summerville Police Department, to move camera footage from a local computer server to a cloud-based storage system.

The decision highlights an important part of body camera technology that often receives less attention than the cameras themselves: how recordings are stored, protected and retrieved after an incident.
