i-PRO Americas Inc. has revealed details of its new 4K Panoramic Front Camera specifically for police vehicles promising high resolution and wide angle recording, which captures more of the action.
iPRO is making much of its new front-facing camera specifically designed for police vehicles. As any viewer of arrest and car chase footage on YouTube – or any one of the many internet or cable channels showing cop car video – will know, most policer cruiser video captures a view only directly in front of the vehicle.
While frustrating for casual viewers, the real issue is the ability of police officers to show what actually happened, often in a court of law.
So, according to iPro, this new camera offers 150 degrees of visibility – almost double most front-facing cameras – meaning improved evidence gathering for law enforcement officers and more information for prosecutions and review of any incident. High definition ensures sections of the footage can be expanded for examination without loss of definition.
The cop-spec 4k Panoramic camera, which carries the designation WV-VCF41P, plugs straight into i-PRO’s ICV4000 in-car video (ICV) system, as part of full suite of onboard video monitoring equipment.

The ICV4000 is also new offering in-car video technology incorporating a powerful new video processing unit (VPU4000), wireless networking, new security features and improved image quality.
Itn employs MPEG-4 recording, eliminating the need for proprietary media devices, and making it easier to share video and audio content with other applications. “By eliminating the conversion processes and workflows associated with proprietary video formats, the ICV4000 provides a more streamlined approach to reviewing and sharing video,” says iPro.
Upgraded security ensure evidence – visual and audio – is preserved and its simpler controls “make sharing easier”.
