Modern Security Technology for Public Transport
Hamburg Hochbahn security has been utilizing bodycams in its inspection and security operations since August 18, 2025, with the capacity to equip up to 21 teams concurrently. NetCo Professional Services, the technology partner for this significant security initiative, expresses its satisfaction with Hamburg Hochbahn’s confidence in their product. The NetCo bodycams are known for their large front display with mirror function, lightweight design, and professional-grade recording capabilities.
“We are proud to contribute to enhanced public transport safety in Hamburg through our proven bodycam technology,” states Dr. Matthias Hagner, Managing Director of NetCo Professional Services GmbH. “Our devices are specifically engineered for professional use by authorities and organizations, providing exceptional reliability in crucial security applications.”
Sophisticated Approach to Data Protection and Transparency
The Hamburg pilot project is notable for its carefully considered design, which balances stringent data protection measures with practical advantages. The NetCo bodycams employ an intelligent pre-recording system that continuously captures footage but only permanently saves sequences when necessary, ensuring thorough documentation of critical events while upholding data protection standards.
“Our system ensures that only relevant incidents are recorded, avoiding permanent recording of routine passenger activity,” Dr. Matthias Hagner explains. “Access to stored recordings is granted only upon legitimate request and in accordance with all data protection regulations.”
Early feedback from the Hamburg pilot project indicates that the bodycams are having a positive impact, with their visible presence contributing to a noticeable reduction in conflict escalation, even before situations intensify.
