SCHAUMBURG, Ill. – Oct. 20, 2015 – Responding to law enforcement demand, #motorolasolutions (http://www.motorolasolutions.com/) (NYSE: MSI) is transforming bodyworn cameras and digital evidence management with the debut of its firstever, threeinone combination bodyworn video camera, radio speaker and microphone along with a new, cloudbased content management system.
The importance of capturing, storing and properly managing video evidence has never been greater for law enforcement agencies of all sizes. While use of bodyworn cameras has widespread and growing acceptance with public safety agencies and the citizens they protect, the massive amounts of data cameras create needs to be managed and stored, at significant costs.
Motorola Solutions’ innovative endtoend solution, the “Smart Interface (http://www.motorolasolutions.com/Si) ” (Si) Si500 (http://www.motorolasolutions.com/Si500) and Si300 (http://www.motorolasolutions.com/Si300) Video Speaker Microphone (VSM) reduces the equipment officers carry by combining a stateoftheart video camera and highquality radio speaker microphone into one easytouse device. Using the Si500 or Si300 VSM in combination with “CommandCentral Vault (http://www.motorolasolutions.com/commandcentralvault) ,” a new cloudbased storage solution that meets Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) standards, will make evidence management significantly easier while lowering costs.
“A picture says a thousand words, and it’s true in our industry,” said Waukegan, Illinois, Police Sgt. David DeBaufer, whose officers recently experienced the new Si500 and Si300 models. “Having a bodyworn camera combined with a radio microphone would be a benefit to the officer because it’s one less item that they are going to have to carry."
“After an incident that is not on video there are multiple people that have multiple perspectives of how an incident took place,” Waukegan Deputy Chief Keith Zupec said. “Now we will have that recorded and officers will be able to complete their reports after viewing that video, which will refresh their memory on how things occurred. It will be a more accurately and truthfully documented incident.”
Motorola Solutions’ Si500 and Si300 VSMs integrate voice communications, realtime video, still images and emergency alerting into one innovative design.
“We’re transforming bodyworn cameras by integrating our best microphone into a video camera, and combining that with a content management system that’s unmatched in its ease of use,” said Bruce Brda, executive vice president of Systems and Products for #motorolasolutions. “This innovative solution consolidates the equipment law enforcement uses to carry out its mission while employing the latest technology to improve digital evidence management at a lower cost.”

The lightweight compact design includes a number of innovative features to meet the needs of first responders:
The Si500 VSM is equipped with a 210degree rangeofmotion camera lens that provides optimal field of view and flexible wearing positions. Users can wear the VSM with the display facing in or out.
The Si500 VSM features the new adaptive audio engine that automatically adjusts audio settings based on the user’s wearing position and environment. With five integrated microphones and a loud 0.5watt rated speaker, it provides the same high audio quality of the APXTM 6000 portable radio.
Integrated WiFi dramatically improves the speed of uploading multimedia. It also makes overthe air VSM feature updates quick and seamless.
The Si500 VSM offers a fullscreen temperedglass display with an intuitive user interface that presents only vital information within three panels. Users have the ability to control radio channels and talk groups, view recorded video and photos, tag videos and listen to audio recordings.
Evidence Management Revolutionized
CommandCentral Vault is a cloudbased application to securely store, review, manage and share digital evidence. It completes a digital evidence management solution when paired with the Si Series VSMs but can also stand alone and accept evidence gathered from any device. The system ensures endtoend security that reduces any challenge to chain of custody for agencies. CommandCentral Vault also:
Provides a highly streamlined ability to search, review, annotate and perform other evidence management, reducing administrative time and expense.
Provides an industryleading autoredaction feature to help public safety agencies remove identities of individuals in videos seamlessly. Instead of having to painstakingly invest the time to review and possibly edit each video frame, technicians will be able to automatically mark objects such as faces, addresses or license plates and let the new technology blur them out automatically throughout the video, saving hours of administrative time.
Creates greater engagement with and transparency with communities. The system enables agencies to improve evidence management and more easily respond to content requests. #motorolasolutions is partnering with Adobe to use its industryleading solutions in CommandCentral Vault. Adobe’s content management, workflow management and digital rights management capabilities in Adobe Marketing Cloud as well as creative tools in Adobe Creative Cloud combined with #motorola Solutions' deep knowledge of public safety will set a new standard for reducing administration costs.
