Motorola Solutions unveiled the LTE-enabled V500 body camera, the newest addition to the company’s mobile video portfolio that brings critical real-time field intelligence to emergency response.
V500 body camera
The V500 body camera enables first responders to stream live video and location to the control room, giving incident managers a better understanding of events and helping them respond quickly and efficiently.
After an incident has been resolved, the V500 also streamlines evidential workflows through LTE-based footage offload and simplifies administration via remote maintenance over mobile networks.
Eyes-on-scene
The V500 gives control room staff ‘eyes-on-scene’ so they have clarity on what's unfolding"
“Frontline teams face high-stress situations where their attention needs to be entirely focused on the scene,” said Jeremiah Nelson, corporate vice president of response, Reporting, and evidence at Motorola Solutions.
“The V500 gives control room staff ‘eyes-on-scene’ so they have clarity on what's unfolding, to not only dispatch the appropriate help but capture a record of critical events."
High-quality video and audio capture
"And now, everyone from IT technicians to evidence handlers can also benefit from this advanced LTE connectivity, by gaining access to the footage as soon as it has been recorded and managing cameras from anywhere.”
The new body camera offers high-quality video and audio capture and is equipped with an optional pre- and post-recording capability, helping to ensure there is a record of every interaction from start to finish.
VideoManager evidence management software
Along with the rest of the Motorola Solutions mobile video portfolio, the V500 body camera uses the VideoManager evidence management software to enable the secure handling, storage, and sharing of evidence, either on-premises or in the cloud.
Additionally, the V500 integrates with Motorola Solutions’ ecosystem of technologies, from radio and in-car video systems to control room solutions, as well as Holster Aware Bluetooth sensors which can activate video recording and live-streaming if an officer draws a weapon.
