International audience ; This article presents the story of a recent and unstabilized technological object: Zepcam-a type of body camera, worn by the police in the Netherlands. By examining the various inscriptions and translations that took place during its conception and introduction, the paper traces the extent to which the objectives, actions and ultimately the meaning of this technological object are formed and transformed when coming into contact with the various actors who appropriate it: policy-makers, designers and users. In doing so, it contributes to the shaping of a technical culture, which is essential for understanding the meaning of technological objects. ; Cet article construit la biographie d'un objet technologique récent et non stabilisé : un type de caméra portée par la police aux Pays-Bas appelé Zepcam. En examinant les différentes inscriptions et traductions auxquelles sa conception et son introduction ont donné lieu, il retrace dans quelle mesure les finalités, les actions et finalement la signification de cet objet technologique se forment et se transforment au contact des différents acteurs qui s'en saisissent : responsables politiques, concepteurs et utilisateurs. Ce faisant, il participe au façonnement d'une culture technique, indispensable pour comprendre le sens des objets technologiques.
