   * Record and transmit events happening in the field.
   * Linked directly to the officer’s player ID.
3. **Saved Recordings**

   * Used for **evidence, reviews, or reports**.
4. **Control Panel (Police Department UI)**

### 🔹 Workflow Example

1. An officer goes on duty → body camera activates and starts recording.
2. Patrol vehicle → dash camera feed becomes available in the Police Department control panel.
3. If an incident occurs, supervisors or dispatchers can **watch live feeds** from either camera.
4. Recordings are automatically stored and appear under the **Saved Recordings** section.
5. Officers or investigators can later review the video evidence with timestamps and location data.
