The radio integration provides officers with a
more intuitive way to capture evidence easily in emergency
situations, enhancing transparency throughout communities
Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI), today announced a new
integration between its V300 body-worn cameras and mission-critical
APX® Project 25 (P25) two-way radios. Video serves as a crucial
piece of evidence for law enforcement while also serving as an
essential ingredient for building trust and transparency with the
communities they protect. The integration is designed to automate
officer tasks and capture evidence in their most critical moments
by activating a body-worn camera recording when an officer triggers
the emergency mode on their radio.

For example, an officer who may come under attack will need to
call for backup, but will also need to keep their full focus on
their assailant. By pressing the emergency button on their radio,
the officer is able to alert the dispatcher of their situation and,
simultaneously, begin recording on the body-worn camera so that a
real-time, unbiased perspective into the evolving situation is
captured. If the body-worn camera is connected to the officer’s
4RE® In-Car Video Camera System, or their partners’ body-worn
cameras, these will also start recording.
“When your life is in danger, it’s not the time to have to go
through a checklist. Officers are frequently put in stressful
positions where they need to have absolute focus,” said John
Kedzierski, senior vice president, Video Security & Analytics
at Motorola Solutions. “We believe that technology should help
automate officer tasks, like activating a body-worn camera
recording when certain triggers are received, so that critical
moments are not missed during these high-stress situations.”
Two-way radios are universally deployed devices that are
foundational to officer safety, allowing law enforcement to
communicate effectively and efficiently with their teams. By
integrating APX radios with body-worn cameras, Motorola Solutions
is breaking down system silos and enabling officers to rely on the
technology and workflows that they instinctively use as incidents
unfold.
This integration is one of many introduced by the company to
automate officer tasks and capture critical evidence. Other
automated tasks include activating the V300 body-worn camera and
4RE In-Car Video Camera System when an officer steps out of the
vehicle, when the vehicle exceeds a certain speed or when the
lights and sirens on a vehicle are turned on. These integrations
continue to make it easier for officers to gather information in
the field while remaining focused on the tasks in front of
them.
Motorola Solutions is dedicated to bringing law-enforcement
technologies together so that the devices, systems and software
that public safety uses are complementary and seamlessly
integrated. The new feature will be available on Motorola
Solutions' industry-leading radios, including APX NEXT, APX 8000,
7000, 6000, and 4000 series.
