What is it?

The TacDock V1 and V2 were created after hearing the gripes from local officers concerning having no where to safely store their BWC. Officers were tossing it on the counter at home to charge after a shift, a desk, or in their patrol vehicles. Furthermore, a lot of officers upload their videos from within their patrol vehicles and would be searching for their USB cable constantly.

We here at Blueline CNC being LEO's ourselves felt the same concerns after being issued our BWC. Do to this, we went to work 3D modeling two separate versions of a charging dock for BWC's. We wanted the concept to be simple: Be able to take off our BWC and place it in a charging dock where it was safe and we didn't have to mess with any cords. The idea was to build something that could sit next to your portable radio charger in your Cop Caddy...so when you got home you could take off your radio and body worn camera and place them both in chargers. The TacDock V1 was built due to this (see TacDock V1 product page). This also allowed covert officers, security personnel and others to place the TacDock V1 at their desk to charge during shift and upload footage via Axon View XL on their computers without having to go dock at the station/barracks/precinct. Bonus is we wanted to design something stylish that wasn't just a square piece of plastic. We wanted it to look good...and have some Tacti-cool Cop colors to choose from.

Furthermore, we wanted something for patrol vehicles and covert vehicles for officers who spend most of the day away from their duty stations. The TacDock V2 was built to house your body worn camera while you are out and about, keeping it safe, and charging it at the same time. The ability to take off your BWC and click it into a convenient charging dock within your vehicle to keep charged, especially when the battery is getting low. Another plus was being able to offload the videos from your BWC with ease and not have to worry about searching for a USB cable. Just click and go.

MULTIPLE mounting options come with the TacDock V2: 3M Stickers included and self tapping black screws for vertical or horizontal.

Lastly, we set out to make sure our TacDock V2 was above any others. We tested several different materials in different environments and had officers test them for us. Most 3D Printed products for vehicles are made out of PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol), which has a heat tolerance up to around 150 degrees. Around this temperature, the material starts to liquidate or get "mushy" and break down. When you combine hot summers in some states along with the sun through glass, this can easily break down this material, especially if left in the hot sun. We settled on a huge upgrade to this material and make our TacDock V2's out of ASA (acrylonitrile styrene acrylate). ASA is heat resistance up to approximately 200 degrees F, is UV resistant and chemical resistant. This material can only be printed with specialized 3D printers with upgraded parts, to which Blueline CNC has done. You won't have to worry about anything happening with the TacDock V2 in any environment you may be in, not matter how hot the summers!

We tested several USB-C adapters and choose a high speed adapter: utilizing USB C Gen 2 / 3.2 with 20 Gbps speeds and 100W charging capabilities to make sure there was no bottlenecking for the user. In easy cop terms: its fast and doesn't slow things down when utilizing the docking station (same as using direct connect with the cord).

FAQ

Do I need anything else to go with the TacDock V2?

All you need is a USB-C cord which likely came with your Body Worn Camera or you are using one already. If you would like an extra, or a longer 6 foot one, check under the accessory tab above to purchase one from us.

Can I just use the provided 3M tape to mount and not the screws?

You can. Utilizing just the two squares of provided 3M tape: space the squares out towards the outer left and right side and make sure to push down when mounting. We suggest utilizing the screws at all times when possible, however the 3M tape is strong enough to hold the TacDock on a flat surface. If mounting on the side of the center console, we highly suggest utilizing the self tapping screws supplied by us.

I can upload my BWC videos from inside my patrol vehicle?!

Yup! Familiarize your self with the Axon View XL software on your laptop. You can download it from Axon or Evidence.com to begin using. We are not affiliated with Axon or Axon View XL. We simply utilize the software ourselves and know a lot of police officers do the same for convenience and ease. Simple use the software in standalone mode and plug the docking station into your laptop. Dock your BWC and you're all set.
