Digital Evidence Management
The focus on Digital Evidence Management (DEM) in 2025 was about finding and managing evidence faster and more intelligently.
- Advanced Filtering: The new filter for the Recordings page in ZEPCAM Manager allows users to find specific evidence videos quickly and easily.
- T3 Tagging Function: Officers can now place tags in the field during recording, making it simple to locate important moments of an incident during later review.
- Smart Categorization: Users can assign categories to recordings in ZEPCAM Manager that automatically determine the appropriate retention time.
- Visual Customization: We introduced configurable video overlays for T3 Live videos to enhance situational clarity.
- Polish Language Support: We expanded our international reach by providing full support for the Polish language across the platform.
Real-Time Insights
For command centers, 2025 brought tools that bridge the gap between field operations and central oversight.
- Alarm/Panic Function on ZEPCAM T3: The T3’s alarm behavior is now fully configurable via device profiles. Crucially, these alarm events can be shared with third-party systems using webhooks.
- Remote Start/Stop Live Stream on ZEPCAM T3 Live: Command centers can now remotely start or stop a live stream on the T3 Live. This is vital for situations where an officer is unable to initiate the stream manually; the officer is always notified when a remote start occurs.
- Live Notifications in ZEPCAM Manager: Operators in ZEPCAM Manager now receive immediate visual and audio alerts the moment a bodycam begins live streaming, ensuring no critical event goes unnoticed.
Operational Flexibility and Ease of Use
Hardware is only as good as its usability. In 2025, we removed friction from the daily workflow of frontline professionals.
- Wireless Offload Videos via 4G or Wi-Fi with ZEPCAM T3: T3 videos can now be offloaded via 4G or Wi-Fi. This removes the dependency on physical docking stations, making data transfer automatic, fast, and easy.
- Bluetooth Trigger for ZEPCAM T3: This holster-mounted device automatically triggers the bodycam to record or stream the moment a gun, Taser, pepper spray, or baton is drawn.
- ZEPCAM Smart Scanner: This tool simplifies the link between device and user. By scanning a QR code or NFC tag—or entering a User ID on the touchscreen—bodycams are assigned in seconds.
- Configurable Live Button on ZEPCAM T3: The T3’s Live button is now programmable, allowing organizations to assign specific functionalities directly to the hardware.
3rd Party Integrations
To support complex enterprise environments, ZEPCAM matured its integration capabilities significantly.
- V2 API Development: Our new API includes rate limiting, pagination, and fine-grained rights management, following the OAuth specification (Client Secret) for professional-grade security.
- API Users in ZEPCAM Manager 2: Dedicated API users, giving administrators tailored control over how third-party applications access the system without compromising overall governance.
- Genetec Security Center and Clearance Integration: Full support for both platforms, enabling:
- Genetec Security Center offload functionality
- Genetec Clearance offload functionality
- Milestone Multi-Server Support: Enhanced enterprise capabilities with the introduction of multi-server support for Milestone XProtect integrations.
Enterprise-Grade Security and Functionalities
Trust and compliance were at the heart of our 2025 roadmap.
- Single Sign-On via Entra ID (OpenID Connect): We introduced this robust identity management solution, which includes a customizable ZEPCAM Manager login page with full support for role and group mapping.
- Service Status Page in ZEPCAM Manager: This new feature enables real-time monitoring of all system services directly within the platform to ensure maximum uptime.
- Storage Flexibility: Support for Multi-Storage and Local Storage allows clients to configure data residency based on their specific needs, complemented by a new National Cloud in Germany (hosted by StackIT).
- Compliance & Standards: In 2025, ZEPCAM achieved a major expansion of its ISO certifications to meet the highest international standards:
