The experiment also came up with other results, but the main conclusion was that bodycam's can be of use for the police in other fields and systems are not yet fit for nation-wide introduction. The experiment will continue to explore the other fields of usage and must also produce a list of mandatory requirements for bodycam's, a video/multi media management system and adaptions to the (new)police uniform at the end of 2012. User friendlyness, less cables , data security, robustness, low light capabilities are also to be on the list of requirements.
