Contract clause, not a DEVB specification
BWVC contract specification: the items to check in your clause
DEVB's public papers set no body-worn video camera (BWVC) specification, so the clause in your public works contract governs (LC Paper No. CB(1)749/2026(02), paragraph 40). Contracts commonly set weight, recording hours, resolution, storage, encryption, retention, upload and time stamp. Kodifly answers each item for its 360 helmet camera and SpatialSense, against your clause.
DEVB gives no specification
Paragraph 40 of LC Paper No. CB(1)749/2026(02) and the Secretary for Development's reply of 24 June 2026 state the requirement and its four purposes. They give no weight, battery, storage, resolution or retention figure. Each contract sets its own.
The table lists items that BWVC clauses commonly set. They are prompts for you to check, not DEVB values, and no figure here comes from DEVB. Read your clause, mark which items it sets, and note the figure it gives.
Specification items to check in your clause
Check each item against the clause. The last column shows how Kodifly answers it.
| Item | What to check in your clause | Kodifly answer |
|---|---|---|
| Wear position | Whether the camera must be chest-mounted, or may be helmet-mounted | Worn on the helmet, hands-free, with a 360° view of the whole scene |
| Weight | Any maximum weight, or a comfort or fit requirement | Send us the figure and we confirm it against the helmet camera before the demo |
| Recording hours | Minimum continuous recording time and battery life | Send us the figure and we confirm it before the demo |
| Resolution | Minimum resolution, frame rate and field of view | 360° field of view. We confirm resolution against your figure before the demo |
| Storage | Where footage is held and the capacity required | Footage is part of the project record in SpatialSense, behind the project login |
| Encryption | Encryption of footage in transit and at rest | Built to DWSS Annex A security, which asks for encryption in transit and at rest (4.1) |
| Retention | How long footage is kept, and who deletes it | The retention period follows your contract |
| Upload | How and when footage reaches the system | After the walk, footage lands on the floor plan with its capture ID |
| Time stamp | Date and time embedded in the footage | Date, time, floor plan position and capture ID on every capture |
How to check your clause
Find the clause
Locate the BWVC requirement in the specification or the employer's requirements.
Mark each item
Tick the items in the table that the clause sets, and copy the figure it gives.
Ask for what is missing
Where the clause is silent, ask the project office before tender, and write the answer down.
Name the camera
Name the camera in your tender submission. Kodifly will help you word it.
What Kodifly delivers against the clause
The camera
The 360 helmet camera is worn on the body, hands-free, and records the whole scene of the inspection.
The record
SpatialSense dates the footage, places it on the floor plan and links it to the inspection request and site diary.
Contract specification questions
Does DEVB publish a body-worn camera specification?
Not in its public papers. LC Paper CB(1)749/2026(02), paragraph 40, states the requirement and its purposes without weight, battery, storage, resolution or retention figures. The clause in your contract governs.
Which items do BWVC clauses commonly set?
Weight, recording hours, resolution, storage, encryption, retention, upload method and time stamp. These are items to check in your clause. DEVB has not set values for them.
Can a helmet-mounted 360 camera satisfy a BWVC clause?
A helmet-mounted 360 camera is worn on the body, hands-free, and records the whole scene of the inspection. Check whether your clause names a mounting position, and name the camera in your tender submission.
How does SpatialSense answer the time stamp item?
Every capture carries its date, time, position on the floor plan and capture ID. The record links to the inspection request that approved the works.
How is footage protected?
SpatialSense is built to DWSS Annex A security, which asks for encryption in transit and at rest (4.1) and an audit trail of add, edit and delete actions (4.3.1). Footage sits behind the project login.
Who decides the retention period?
Your contract. SpatialSense follows it. The Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance asks that footage of identifiable people is not kept longer than the purpose needs (DPP 2(2)).
What if my clause sets a figure Kodifly has not confirmed?
Send the clause. Kodifly answers it point by point before the demo, so you know where each figure stands before you submit.
