The Maharashtra Transport Department has distributed approximately 600 body cameras to Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) across the state. These cameras are intended to be used by Motor Vehicle Inspectors during vehicle inspections, roadside checks, licence and permit-related actions, and other official proceedings. The cameras are equipped with high-quality recording, dual front and rear cameras, an in-built 4G network with GPS support, and various other features such as live video streaming, Bluetooth connectivity, instant playback, and video compression support.
Each device can record continuously for up to 12 hours on a single battery backup and is designed to withstand harsh conditions, including being waterproof, dustproof, and capable of withstanding a fall from a height of up to two metres. The move aims to create a documented record of enforcement activities and bring greater transparency to interactions between RTO officials and motorists.
