ER:LC Bodycam

Stay connected to in-game units with live bodycam video feeds integrated directly into the CAD.

Configuring the Bodycam

1. Optional: Download the App

While the bodycam system works inside of a web browser, you can also download the Windows or OSX desktop application for the best experience.

2. Select the Roblox Game

Once inside of the police, fire, EMS, or dispatch panel users can open the bodycam configuration via

  • Clicking the Bodycam icon in the bottom right of the taskbar

  • Clicking the unit header to open the unit editor

Once opened, select Bodycam Source > Roblox > Start

Once configured and started, if using the desktop application, your bodycam will automatically select the same window and start the next time you use the application.

Do to graphics settings and drivers, some users may experience white flashing in the Roblox app when using window share mode.

To resolve this, share the entire screen instead of just the Roblox application.

3. Bodycam Options

Shadow Recording

Shadow recording continuously buffers the last 0–60 seconds of footage. When you activate recording, that buffered footage is automatically included at the beginning of the clip.

By default, this is set to 30 seconds.

Additionally, you can configure the total recording length with a maximum of 120 seconds (two minutes).

Sound Effects

Users can also enable or disable sound effects. When enabled, a long tone will play when the bodycam is turned on or off. Additionally, a short tone will repeat periodically to remind the user that their camera is on.
