Wearable cameras, real-time audio/video/location/SOS, and group calling technologies help reduce risk and optimize deployment for military personnel, police officers, security personnel, and emergency responders
Military personnel, police officers, security personnel, and emergency responders often require assistance during missions and may even face the risk of personal injury, especially when working alone in remote areas. Wearable cameras, real-time audio/video/location/SOS, and group calling technologies help reduce risk and optimize deployment. However, in real-world scenarios, personnel typically need to carry multiple devices and operate independently under high-pressure conditions, with minimal margin for error, complex operation, and independent, unconnected systems.
Therefore, AsiaRF is committed to providing the best integrated solution, combining video recording, real-time audio/video/location, and emergency alert functions into a single wearable camera device.
WiBRAVO is more than a conventional body-worn camera. It is an integrated mobile security solution built around four essential capabilities: video recording, real-time communication, GPS tracking, and emergency response. By connecting frontline personnel with command centers, it helps organizations gain better visibility into field operations, improve communication, and enhance personnel safety.
“Military personnel, police officers, firefighters, Coast Guard members, industrial workers, and even hospital emergency room doctors and nurses are already carrying a large amount of equipment,” said Eric Chang, Camera BU Head at AsiaRF. “Using multiple separate devices increases their workload and can lead to critical information being scattered across different systems.”
Specifically, AsiaRF’s solution is to offer the WiBRAVO series of integrated solutions, currently including the WiB-N01 for recording only and the WiB-B01 for both recording and transmission. The WiB-B01 can transmit video, audio, SOS, and location information in real time to AsiaRF’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) software via 4G and Wi-Fi, integrating real-time video and audio, personnel location, AI-detected events, geofencing, and communication into a single web-based interface. The main value of the WiB-B01 + EOC software lies in shortening the time between the command center and field commanders, enabling rapid and accurate command on the ground and minimizing casualties. It also offers WiB-D01/D04, which can automatically charge B01 and N01, and provides backup and transfer of 2K@30fps video stored in WiB-edge-8 NVR to Backup Server to overwrite real-time video files, so as to provide the best video quality and frames per second.
Designed for demanding professional environments, WiBRAVO supports a broad range of applications, including police and law enforcement patrols and incident documentation; fire and emergency services requiring on-site visibility and response coordination; Coast Guard and maritime security operations; and industrial and facility security for workforce safety, site monitoring, and incident management. By extending security monitoring beyond fixed surveillance systems, WiBRAVO brings a mobile, frontline perspective to security operations.
"For example, when a user sends an SOS distress signal, the command center and officers' mobile WhatsApp/Telegram accounts can receive an alert, view the user's location and live video feed, and communicate with them to assess the situation. This visual communication helps shorten the time required to confirm the incident and dispatch rescue. The Push To Talk (PTT) feature also provides a backup plan in case the walkie-talkie fails," said Eric Chang.
This single B01 device integrates live video, communication, and alarm functions with a connection to the Emergency Command Center (EOC). AsiaRF users can report and respond to incidents and command on-site responses, including requesting assistance, with minimal steps. Simultaneously, commanders can combine live video, personnel location, and multi-party two-way communication to coordinate the response and support of multiple personnel equipped with WiBRAVO devices, effectively executing missions and saving people lives.
Extending Existing VMS Infrastructure
WiBRAVO is designed to complement existing video surveillance infrastructure rather than replace it. Through ONVIF, RTSP, and EOC API integration, organizations can extend their existing Video Management Systems (VMS) with mobile video monitoring capabilities. Fixed cameras provide continuous coverage of facilities and designated areas, while body-worn cameras add the perspective of personnel in the field. Used together, they help organizations build a more comprehensive view of security operations while maximizing their existing infrastructure investments.
From Wireless Components to BWC EOC total Solutions
Founded in Taiwan in 1997, AsiaRF believes that wearable devices for professional security and emergency scenarios are a natural application of its expertise: wireless modules, antennas, and IoT devices.
"WiBRAVO devices can accompany users into sensitive environments, capturing video, audio, and location data, enabling them to see, hear, and immediately command actions," Chang stated. "For public safety and critical infrastructure operators, trust in these devices and their supply chain is crucial to ensuring mission success and minimizing casualties."
The PCB manufacturing, PCBA production, final assembly, and testing of the WiBRAVO devices are all completed in Taiwan. The B01 firmware, EOC server, and web client software were developed by AsiaRF's R&D and engineering team in Taiwan.
The company's procurement policies are more stringent.
"Our component selection policy excludes key active components and communication modules manufactured in China," Ms. Zhang explained, adding that the policy covers image processing chips, 4G/5G network/Wi-Fi and Bluetooth/GPS chips and modules. Image processing technology is provided by suppliers such as Ambarella. Memory cards and lithium batteries are also included in the procurement controls, with suppliers from Europe, North America, South Korea, and Taiwan.
For customers with specific procurement requirements, AsiaRF provides publicly available component and origin information for relevant models and shipping configurations to support their supply chain audits.
By combining Taiwan manufacturing, supply chain transparency, and in-house R&D, AsiaRF brings manufacturing oversight and software engineering capabilities together in one solution. These strengths are particularly relevant to government agencies, public safety organizations, and critical infrastructure operators that value product traceability, reliable manufacturing, and long-term technical support.
Performance First For professional wearable devices, superior performance, reliability, and ease of use are paramount—AsiaRF is committed to providing the best in all of these areas.
This philosophy runs through all three WiBRAVO devices, each tailored to different mission scenarios. The WiB-N01 is suitable for applications where video/audio recording, evidence preservation, and post-event review are primary tasks. The WiB-B01 is designed to meet the needs of patrolling, inspection, command and dispatch, and field operations requiring real-time coordination with the command center. The WiB-A01, currently under development, will feature broader wireless connectivity and run more powerful edge computing and AI capabilities on the device itself rather than on the EOC server.
AI-based features available to WiB-B01 users include event alerts, geofencing, and advanced analytics such as AI detection of people, faces, license plates, flames and smoke, safety cloth, and weapons (knives/guns). In deployment environments where AI workloads run on field edge servers, WiBRAVO devices enable low-latency deployment and provide users with real-time analytics and alerts.
The EOC Server separates real-time and stored-playback services. The Live Server, as the sole entry point, is lightweight enough to be easily deployed on public or private clouds, eliminating the most expensive storage and playback costs. The Backup Server offers 8/32/64/128/256/512CH versions, allowing for flexible deployment and distributed storage, reducing storage device failures and network congestion and latency issues, centralized backups can also be performed on public or private clouds.. Backup Servers can be deployed on various Intranets and the Internet, interconnecting via their built-in P2P technology. Clients can directly access and play content from their respective Backup Servers without going through the Live Server. A Mac mini M6 computer is configured to provide the aforementioned six AI detection functions.
