Agency-Owned Evidence Model

Police Body Cameras Without Monthly Fees

The Arsenal MK2 gives agencies a body-camera option built around equipment ownership, agency-controlled evidence storage, direct support, and no mandatory monthly cloud-storage subscription.

Own the Cameras

The department purchases and controls its deployed body-camera equipment.

Control the Evidence

Evidence remains under agency-defined access and retention policies.

Avoid Mandatory Cloud Fees

No required monthly per-camera cloud-storage contract.

Budget Honestly

Plan separately for hardware, storage, installation, accessories, and replacement cycles.

What the Arsenal MK2 Includes

  • 12+ hour shift capacity with a hot-swappable battery system
  • Built-in field review without requiring a mobile application
  • Remote-activation options for coordinated recording
  • Rugged body-worn design for patrol use
  • Local evidence workflow and agency-controlled storage options
  • Software and firmware update policy without a mandatory monthly subscription

What “No Monthly Fees” Does Not Mean

It does not mean the system has no future ownership cost. Batteries wear, cameras can be damaged, evidence storage may need expansion, and agencies may purchase installation, accessories, or replacement hardware.

It means the agency is not required to keep paying a monthly cloud-storage or software-access fee merely to retain access to its own evidence workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does 10-8 Video require a monthly body-camera subscription?

No. 10-8 Video does not require a mandatory monthly cloud-storage contract for the Arsenal MK2 body-camera system. Agencies purchase their equipment and select an agency-controlled evidence-storage configuration.

Where is body-camera evidence stored?

Evidence can be stored on an agency-controlled on-premises server sized for the department's camera count, recording volume, retention policy, and backup requirements.

Are there any costs after the initial purchase?

Agencies should still budget for normal ownership costs such as replacement batteries, damaged hardware, expanded storage, optional accessories, installation, and future equipment replacement. The distinction is that there is no mandatory per-camera monthly cloud-storage fee.

Can the body cameras work with 10-8 in-car video?

Yes. The Arsenal MK2 supports remote-activation options that can connect body-camera recording with vehicle events or the in-car video workflow.

Is on-premises storage automatically CJIS compliant?

No product by itself makes an agency compliant. CJIS compliance depends on configuration, networks, policies, access controls, personnel, and operating procedures. 10-8 Video supports CJIS-aligned deployment options and agency-controlled security.
