Hytera latest Body Worn Camera supports workplace transparency, personnel safety

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 13 (Bernama) -- Hytera Communications, a global communications technologies and solutions provider, has released its latest Body Worn Camera (BWC) model, GC550 2K Mini Body Camera, a great tool to promote workplace transparency and personnel safety for law enforcement and security.

Designed with intensive attention to ergonomics, the compact and lightweight GC550 captures every incident in a 150° super-wide field of view and is equipped with the most powerful processor in the market which can deliver ultra-clear 2K videos at 30 frames per second (fps).

The starlight night vision technology makes it possible to shoot sharp and colourful footage under extremely low light conditions especially at night.

“Body cameras are vital tools for a lot of mission and business critical scenarios. Sharper, clearer, and smoother footage improve the authenticity of the record for the purpose of reviewing work and collecting evidence.

“GC550 is designed to capture fine details as evidence for legal investigations and court proceedings while still excels in terms of ease of wearing and carrying,” said Hytera vice president, Ke Wang in a statement.

The model comes with a built-in backup battery that gives users an additional five minutes to swap the main battery in the field which allows uninterrupted recording.

It will automatically save the ongoing recordings and keep what is already recorded safe and sound if the body camera detects a drop or sudden impact while recording.

As light as 115 gram, the GC550 can be worn on the epaulet or the front pocket with a 360° rotatable clip whereby users can easily rotate the bodycam and find the best recording angle without having to remove it.

ZENAS BIOPHARMA ANNOUNCES FIRST PATIENT DOSED IN PHASE 3 CLINICAL STUDY OF OBEXELIMAB FOR THE TREATMENT OF IMMUNOGLOBULIN G4-RELATED DISEASE (IGG4-RD)

Global Phase 3 INDIGO study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of obexelimab in patients with IgG4-RD, a chronic and serious fibroinflammatory disease typically affecting multiple organs

IgG4-RD is the first of several potential disease indications to be pursued for obexelimab given its unique non-depleting, B-cell inhibition

WALTHAM, Mass., Jan 12 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zenas BioPharma, a global biopharmaceutical company committed to becoming a leader in the development and commercialization of immune-based therapies, today announced that the first patient has been dosed in the INDIGO Phase 3 registrational study of obexelimab. The INDIGO study will evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of obexelimab treatment in the prevention of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) flare. Obexelimab is a high-affinity bifunctional antibody that inhibits B-cell lineages by simultaneously binding to CD19 and Fc_үRIIB, thereby downregulating B-cell activity in patients with autoimmune diseases associated with autoantibodies, such as IgG4-RD.

“IgG4-RD is a chronic and serious fibroinflammatory condition that can affect nearly any organ system and can have a profound impact on many patients, leading to severe organ damage or death,” said Hua Mu, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer at Zenas. “There are no currently approved treatments for patients living with IgG4-RD. Based upon the promising data from a Phase 2 study of obexelimab in IgG4-RD patients, we are excited to continue to evaluate the potential of obexelimab in the INDIGO study.”
