Redefining body worn cameras' data transmission for Mission Critical Operations

SElink-Powered Body cameras

At Thailand Roadshow 2025, hosted by the Defence Technology Institute (Public Organization)-Ministry of Defense in Bangkok (27-29 May), Blu5 unveiled a groundbreaking integration: SElink's Zero Trust Networking (ZTN) technology embedded in next-gen body cameras.

Body-worn cameras (BWCs) are becoming more prevalent in law enforcement and private security, but their adoption has also sparked cybersecurity concerns. Issues such as data breaches, unauthorised access, and the potential tampering with recorded footage highlight the risks involved. Key considerations include the rising number of BWCs in operation, the highly sensitive nature of the data they collect, and the importance of implementing strong security measures to safeguard footage from cyber threats and misuse.

Every body cam represents both an opportunity and liability. SElink transforms BWCs from potential vulnerabilities into protected assets - ensuring chain of custody, preventing data leaks, and automatically enforcing retention policies.

SElink is positioned as a critical enabler for secure, compliant, and efficient Body-Worn Cameras (BWC) deployments by addressing cybersecurity risks, bandwidth constraints, and regulatory hurdles.

Here's how SElink aligns with the key pain points:

1. Evidence Integrity & Chain of Custody

BWCs footage cannot be altered, lost, or accessed improperly by fake endpoints without compromising situational awareness.

SElink's Role
  • End-To-End Encryption: SElink can provide military-grade encryption for BWC footage, ensuring secure transmission from the device to VMS/cloud storage, mitigating risks of interception or tampering.
  • Zero trust Access Controls: SElink's continuous multi-dimensional authentication mechanisms can restrict access to sensitive footage, preventing unauthorised viewing or manipulation.
  • Audit Trails & Chain of Custody: SElink's logging capabilities can maintain records of who accessed footage and when, crucial for legal defensibility

2. Real-Time Operations & Bandwidth Constraints

Officers need live streaming for situational awareness, but poor networks zones are unreliable, and high-resolution video consumes excessive bandwidth.

SElink's Role
  • Zero Overhead and Low Latency: SElink ZTN protocols are optimised to eliminate any bandwidth overhead, enabling faster, more efficient data transmission - making them perfect for real-time services.
  • Maximised Bandwidth Usage: SElink employs anti-shaping techniques, distributing data across multiple parallel sockets without any disruption to the user experience. This allows the network to handle increased traffic loads, maintain high throughput, and avoid throttling imposed by ISP.

3. Strict Compliance

BWCs must comply with international and local laws and regulations

SElink's Role
  • Legal Adherence: SElink is a compliance facilitator that helps meet the most stringent international and local compliance laws and regulations without modifying the existing infrastructure and even across outdated or non-compliant assets. With SElink compliance becomes a secure, integrated strategy that respects existing investments.

4. Interagency Sharing & Interoperability

Police departments, courts, and prosecutors need secure sharing—but legacy systems often can’t communicate securely

SElink's Role
  • Cross-Platform secure links: Allows role-based access without exposing raw files
  • VMS/Access Control Integration: Can be embedded or work with the most multi-vendor law enforcement ecosystems
