Kevin Young, the recipient of the prestigious R&D 100 award, states, "the Hazmat Cam wireless video system, commercially known as the Visual First Responder, is a lightweight wireless video camera system that is taken to incident scenes by emergency first responders. What makes this system unique is that it combines a triple antenna and true-diversity receiver with a low frequency transmitter, video encryption, and waterproof housing. These features allow the system to deliver a clear, secure picture, and it’s submersible for decontamination purposes." Kevin Young is a principal investigator at the Idaho National Laboratory and developer of the Hazmat Cam technology.
