Mic’d Up
Protect referee’s without the challenges associated with body cameras.
Putting a microphone on your officials offers a practical alternative to body cams. This system not only serves as an effective deterrent but also delivers valuable analytics that help referees, mentors and associations analyze trends and build awareness based on unbiased feedback. It’s a cost-efficient option that supports your referees while maintaining the integrity of the game.
Valuable Feedback
Give your referees a breakdown of call distributions for each game to highlight trends they might overlook. Referee stats can be viewed on a dashboard and analyzed by game, week, month, or season.
Always prepared
Many popular body cams aren’t always recording and miss what people shout from the stands, which often includes abuse towards referees. Our system addresses "he said, she said" issues and captures these abusive comments..
Affordable
There are no expensive cameras that can get lost or damaged. Because we have built our own technology tools, we are able to collect and analyze data at a fraction of the cost your typical research or consulting firm would charge.
Easy
The Mic’d Up audio recorder easily connects to a lanyard, whistle, or belt loop. Officials just turn it on at the game’s start and are ready to go, without needing to activate it when an incident may occur.
