Motorola Solutions V200 body camera

Motorola Solutions has released the V200 — a body camera designed specifically to help protect frontline workers in stores, hospitals, hotels, schools and stadiums. Workers in these settings regularly face safety concerns — from unwelcome behaviour to theft and medical emergencies — and the camera, with its GoLive Audio safety feature, offers a direct connection to help.

The body camera is a discreet, lightweight addition to a worker’s uniform. The recording feature can be activated with the push of a button to document a situation, which also serves as an effective deterrent for unwanted behaviour. In more serious scenarios, such as medical incidents or crime, activation of the GoLive Audio feature can engage security personnel or a supervisor, who can access live video and audio and interject via the camera’s speaker. This kind of immediate intervention allows the frontline worker to focus on the situation while directly getting support.

The camera was purpose-built to give frontline workers peace of mind on the job, offering proactive and immediate assistance when and where they need it. When people feel safe, they can be more focused and productive. A boost in employee safety and morale can therefore have a direct and positive impact on team efficiency and the overall work environment.
