Calla Body Worn Cameras
Calla is a small, secure body camera with a front facing screen and cloud based video management software service for people working in healthcare, education and retail.
Studies show that when people can see they are being recorded it can help calm them down and avoid conflict, and that’s just what Calla does by de-escalating situations, reducing disruption and recording an independent account of what happened.
