In particular, law enforcement organizations, city governments, and branches of state and federal governments around the globe are turning to the Observer as the antidote to the inefficiencies, inferior recording quality, inflexibility, and high storage costs of videotape. The Observer provides a superior means of recording aired content and making it easy to access and share with colleagues and customers.
