The Project

Now over a decade on air, NBC’s Chicago P.D. is the second entry in Dick Wolf’s “One Chicago” franchise, following the Intelligence Unit of a fictional Chicago police district. Shot almost entirely on real Chicago streets rather than a backlot, the show runs on a tight network schedule, with multiple units often rolling at once across foot chases, raids, and vehicle pursuits. That pace, and the city’s dense, obstruction-heavy RF environment, made a dependable wireless video link essential — which is where the Vaxis Storm system came in.

Product: Vaxis Storm  

Built for fast-moving, location-driven shoots, the Storm series equips the camera department with:

• Zero-delay, broadcast-grade HD image quality, keeping video village in sync with handheld and vehicle-mounted cameras frame-for-frame
• Long-range, obstruction-resistant signal that holds steady through brick buildings, alleyways, and open streets alike
• Multiple selectable channels with strong anti-interference performance, built to cut through a congested urban RF environment
• Fast, tool-free mounting, matching the pace of a tight network shooting day
• Rugged, field-tested build designed to hold up across seasons of continuous production use

In Summary

On a show that lives and dies by the energy of real Chicago streets, a wireless video link that just works lets the camera department stay focused on the action instead of the signal. That reliability, take after take and season after season, is what the Vaxis Storm system brings to Chicago P.D.
