In November 2025, the law enforcement recorder industry once again witnessed a wave of technological innovation. With the deep integration of 5G, AI large models and the high-precision positioning of Beidou, many domestic manufacturers have released the new generation of "smart law enforcement" terminals, promoting the law enforcement scenarios to shift from "post-event evidence collection" to "real-time decision-making".
AI enables body cameras to "think"
The DCW AI body-worn camera, which made its debut at the 12th Police Expo, is regarded by the industry as a "decision-level" device. The device is equipped with a ChatGPT-like large language model that can automatically generate complete law enforcement documents within 3 minutes. It processes an average of 12,000 pieces of data per day, with a false judgment rate of only 0.37%. Its "pre-event warning" algorithm can issue a prompt 8 seconds before a physical conflict occurs. It has achieved a 40% increase in the efficiency of handling individual cases in places like Shanxi and Guangzhou, and the number of public complaints has significantly decreased.
5G+ Beidou, building a "zero-latency" command link
This month, ZECN Zhiye released the DSJ-ZEC1NA1 5G law enforcement recorder, which supports real-time 4K image transmission back to the command center. Combined with the single Beidou positioning system, it still maintains centimeter-level accuracy in signal blind spots, achieving the synchronous generation of visual combat maps through "video + trajectory". AI intelligent recognition can automatically compare license plates and faces, bringing traffic inspection and floating population management into the "data-driven" era.
The camp of full domestic production is on the rise
Yunling Intelligent has launched a purely domestic law enforcement recorder, which adopts dual-mode transmission of Beidou short message and 5G. It can return key data within seconds in environments without ground networks such as earthquakes and oceans. Equipped with a lightweight AI chip, it can automatically identify over 20 potential hazards such as equipment cracks and personnel not wearing protective gear, reducing the missed detection rate by 90%. It is hailed by the industry as a "new benchmark for independent control".
The market has entered a "high growth rate" range
The latest report from Research Nester shows that the global market size of body cameras exceeded 2.12 billion US dollars in 2025 and is expected to exceed 8.2 billion US dollars in 2035, with a compound annual growth rate of 14.5%. Among them, the share of full HD models will account for more than 66%, and real-time streaming media and AI analysis will become the biggest premium points.
Industry insiders point out that with the continuous increase in public security expenditure and the downward deployment of "smart policing" construction, body cameras are upgrading from single recording tools to "on-site decision-making hubs". In the next three years, domestic 5G law enforcement recorders with the capabilities of AI-generated documents, real-time bilingual translation, and high-precision positioning with the Beidou system are expected to achieve a penetration rate of over 60% in the domestic market and accelerate their expansion overseas.
