Hutto ISD's experience with VB400 body cameras
Classed as one of the fastest-growing towns in Texas and ranked among the best places to live in the United States, Hutto is an exciting place to be for young families. The district's large student population and numerous campuses presented the challenge of needing a scalable body camera solution to ensure staff and student protection.
The VB400 and its backend software were a great fit for Hutto ISD. Because the solution was straightforward to deploy and completely customizable, officers could start using the technology immediately with minimal training.
Customizable buttons
Hutto ISD configured the VB400's buttons to suit the needs of different officers, making it even easier to start recording in stressful situations.
Flexible purchase options
While the VB400 can be bought as-a-service, the ISD decided to purchase their body cameras outright, along with perpetual on-premises software, to better fit their budgetary requirements.
Powerful backend software
The officers configured the granular retention policy to automatically delete old, non-evidential footage; this keeps storage costs low and ensures the ISD obeys all local regulations.
