The Partner MK4 is built with the latest in video and audio recording technology while being highly robust and having one of the lowest body camera price points for a device of its calibre. While not as flashy as some of the police models, The Partner MK4 matches or even surpasses them in technical specifications and video & audio quality. The Partner MK4 is fully encrypted and matches all of the requirements that most teams will need out of a body worn camera.

Yes, The Partner MK4 is a UK GDPR compliant body camera. Under GDPR, all lengths need to be taken to secure any footage that you have recorded. In most cases this is interpreted to mean that the footage needs to be encrypted on the camera. Not only does The Partner MK4 have full AES256 encryption, it is also password protected through the DEMS and Cam Manger software. The Partner MK4 does not have a screen and as such can only be accessed via its proprietary software. It will not even be recognised as a drive by a PC until it has been unlocked which prevents tampering and secures the footage further.

The Partner MK4 sells for £220 ex VAT, which is a one-off price with no ongoing fees or licenses. This makes The Partner MK4 body camera price, the lowest for AES256 encrypted models in the UK at the time of writing. Its accompanying DEMS software also does not have any ongoing fees, after the initial license, and can be used for multiple cameras on a single PC.

Lots of superfluous features have been introduced into the body camera market in recent years. Some companies will argue that a front facing screen helps deescalate situations (the is equal evidence to that it increases conflicts) or that an articulated lens is somehow important. These tend to be more important for sales than for operations. The Partner Body Cameras did away with screens because they are the first thing to break. They also allow access to the footage which can be exploited. We care about the longevity of our cameras and the budgets of our clients than the flashiness of our sales material. A good point of reference is world leader in body cameras, Axon, who do not employ these kinds of gimmicks.

The Partner MK4 Body Camera comes with a KlickFast compatible stud as standard which means that it can be used with your existing equipment right out of the box.

Absolutely, this body camera can be used in dark environments ranging from poorly lit indoor areas down to pitch black night time locales. The Partner MK4 uses both an advanced CMOS sensor as well as infra-red lamps dynamically. As light levels drop, the CMOS sensor will continue to aid in the capture of clear footage until lux levels drop below your chosen threshold. At this point, the Infra-red lamps will engage and begin recording in greyscale.

Yes, it can. The Partner MK4 Body Camera is IP67 rated and can be used in a wide range of weather conditions including during torrential downpours. The MK4 has an external layer of glass that protects the lens and helps prevent the build up of moisture which may interfere with recording.

Yes, The Partner MK4 does come equipped with a GPS module that will take a record of the GPS coordinates of where footage is filmed and burn it on to the footage as a watermark. Like with most GPS modules, this works best outdoors.

We have deliberately made the decision to not include WIFI or cellular connectivity in this body camera UK model. The reason for this is so that the device cannot be accessed remotely and that not connectivity is required to download a camera. All downloads require a direct cable connection by way of the USB port, solo dock or 10-port multi-dock. The Partner DEMS is a locally-installed solution with no

The Partner DEMS is not essential to use the MK4 but it is recommended. The Partner DEMS allows for automatic downloading, footage management, playing encrypted footage as well as exporting unencrypted footage for transfer to the police. It also has an audit log that helps preserve the chain of custody.

Encryption can be activated or deactivated through the use of the Camera Manager software. You can still use the MK4 with encryption through the use of a decrypter but it is more laboursome. You can also use the MK4 as a plug and play camera without the DEMS by just using Cam Manager.

No, The Partner DEMS software license is a life-time license per PC. If you only need to run one instance of the DEMS software, you only need one license. You can use as many The Partner MK4 Body Cameras with a single license as you wish.

All The Partner MK4 Body Camera UK models come with a one-year manufacturer’s warranty on labour and parts.
