Modular covert camera
Camera for documenting human rights abuse at a grassroots level
Miniature covert cameras to film human rights abuse and violence in their own communities. The footage has assisted a wide range of advocacy measures and seen the prosecution of many responsible for inciting political violence and other crimes around the world.
It has a variety of modules and functionalities that enabled users without significant technical knowledge to easily utilise different hardware features (such as various camera lenses and microphone options) for a variety of situational contexts. Easy to conceal and robust, it allows for remote control of the camera and adds a layer of security to both the audio and video, which represent our partner’s most valuable resources.
Not only is the monitoring and recording of injustices around the world a great disincentive to violence, corruption and abuse, but it is also a crucial step in helping to secure access to justice for many communities in conflict around the world.
