Safariland Announces Collaboration with Motorola Solutions to Deliver Real-Time Alerts to Law Enforcement Agencies Upon Gun Draw
Motorola Solutions Responder Alert now connects to Safariland's holster with CAS technology for automatic signal to command center
October 23, 2017, PRNewswire
ONTARIO, California – The Safariland Group ("Safariland"), a leading global provider of safety and survivability products for public safety, today announced a new product, developed in collaboration with Motorola Solutions, a global leader in mission-critical communications products, services and solutions. With this product, a Motorola Solutions radio or broadband device will automatically deliver an alert signal to an agency command center once an officer's firearm is drawn from a Safariland® 7TS™ duty holster equipped with CAS™ technology. This new partnered technology debuts at the 2017 International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference (IACP), in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, October 21-24, in Safariland booth #1515 and Motorola Solutions booth #3037.
"Every second is critical once a law enforcement professional draws a firearm, " said Sean McCarthy, who leads the wearable technologies and VIEVU® body-worn camera business for Safariland. "Our agencies and officers need real-time information to support, monitor, and respond immediately to issues in the field. Through our collaboration with Motorola Solutions we can deliver real-time alerts with mission-critical reliability to the thousands of agencies already using Motorola Solutions radios. This industry-first offering evolved from our collective focus to provide next generation life-saving solutions."
Motorola Solutions Responder Alert utilizes a Bluetooth® sensor mounted directly to the Safariland® CAS 7TS™ duty holster. Through its revolutionary design, the system detects when a firearm is away from the holster and will directly signal an officer's Motorola Solutions APX™ portable radio or a broadband device like the Motorola Solutions LEX L10 or LEX F10. Digital messages are then passed through Motorola Solutions software, sending an alert to the command center in real-time. With this system, officers can stay focused on the primary task at hand.
With connectivity to Motorola Solutions devices for real-time alerts, the CAS-enabled Safariland 7TS holster is an example of how Safariland embedded wearable technology will bring superior product capability to law enforcement. The CAS-enabled 7TS holster is constructed of SafariSeven™, a proprietary nylon blend material, non-abrasive to the firearm, and nearly impervious to the elements. A Level III Retention™ version features state-of-the-art ALS® (Automatic Locking System) retention, with a secondary SLS (Self-Locking System). The holster features a 30-day battery life with replaceable batteries.
Added McCarthy, "Not only does this system have best-in-class efficiencies without an officer ever having to stop to turn the system on, but by connecting the officer to dispatch, it also provides added security, support, and response without the officer having to change focus to make the call."

Safariland VIEVU Awarded Exclusive Distribution Agreement for Digital Ally’s VuLink Car-Based Camera Auto-Activation System
October 20, 2017, PRNewswire
ONTARIO, California – Safariland® VIEVU®, a leader in body-worn video, and a brand of The Safariland Group(“Safariland”), a leading global provider of safety and survivability products designed for the public safety, military, professional and outdoor markets, today announced a newly formed partnership with Digital Ally® for an exclusive distribution agreement of Digital Ally’s VuLink® car based auto-activation system, which includes Digital Ally’s patented activation technology. This system will allow Safariland VIEVU (“VIEVU”) and Digital Ally to implement a car-based auto-activation system that initiates recording of VIEVU’s LE4 and LE5™ body-worn cameras. By further automating the camera activation, it will result in greater efficiency and safety for law enforcement and the community.
“This partnership brings together years of proven expertise from the most respected brands in law enforcement,” said Stan Ross, CEO of Digital Ally. “We are pleased that others are recognizing the importance and value of our products and intellectual properties, especially our patented VuLink auto-activation technology. We are excited to partner with VIEVU to give them the products and technology they need to bring this capability to VIEVU’s customers.”
The Digital Ally VuLink system wirelessly sends a signal to automatically activate an officer’s body-worn camera based on various actions with the vehicle, such as a siren being activated, lights being turned on, or a door opening. The VuLink system, when connected to the VIEVU body-worn camera will improve consistency in camera activation by automatically turning on the officer’s camera based on agency-selected vehicle triggers. The automatic activation will significantly reduce situations where body-worn camera footage is not available because an officer forgot to activate the camera.
“This partnership with Digital Ally recognizes their patented auto-activation technology and demonstrates how innovation leaders such as Safariland, VIEVU, and Digital Ally can work together to deliver superior solutions for law enforcement,” said Sean McCarthy who leads VIEVU and Safariland’s wearable technology platform. “By gaining exclusive distribution rights to Digital Ally’s patented VuLink technology, we will complete a VIEVU platform of automatic triggers to activate a body-worn camera at the most critical moments: when an officer exits a vehicle and when an officer draws a firearm from the Safariland CAS™ auto-activation holster.”

SAFARILAND VIEVU Introduces the LE5 Body-Worn Camera with Industry-First Selectable Field of View and Auto-Activation Capabilities
Bluetooth, wi-fi and CAS auto-activation technology bring advanced connectivity efficiencies for law enforcement
October 18, 2017, PRNewswire
ONTARIO, California – Safariland® VIEVU®, a leader in body-worn camera and video evidence management, and a brand of The Safariland Group, will debut the LE5TM body-worn camera at the 2017 International Association of Chiefs of Police annual conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, October 21-24, 2017. The technological advances of the LE5 camera provide industry-leading connectivity and adaptability to integrate with radios, smart phones, holsters, vehicles, and other connected communication devices.
The Bluetooth® enabled LE5 camera boasts two industry firsts: a user-selectable field of view and USB-C connection. The LE5 camera is fully configurable to capture a classic 95 degrees, which replicates the human eye, a narrower 70 degrees for a focused view, or a wide-angle 120 degrees. The USB-C connection provides fast charging, high speed and its symmetrical and reversible design allows easy docking.
“I’m thrilled to bring to market our fifth-generation camera which reflects a decade of customer feedback, innovation, and the newest technology in optics. With cutting edge components, the LE5 delivers the functionality and flexibility requested through customer feedback,” said Sean McCarthy leader of VIEVU and Safariland’s Wearable Technology business. “We understand the needs of our users for a lightweight, compact camera design with a variety of easy-to-adjust mounting options and easy-to-use slide switch. The finishing touches and attention to detail is what our long-term customers will appreciate the most.”
The Safariland VIEVU LE5 camera works seamlessly with the Safariland® 7TSTM duty holster with CASTM technology, leveraging proprietary, market-leading chip technology to automatically activate the Safariland VIEVU camera any time a weapon is drawn from the holster.
Bluetooth and wi-fi streaming enhances possibilities for the connected officer with a camera that can record for over 12 continuous hours without having the battery recharged, enabling ample livestream videos and the addition of metadata in the field. With storage for over 50 hours of footage, it features a selectable pre-record of up to three minutes, and post-record for up to one minute with video and audio, ensuring that critical moments of an event are captured. Additional features include an easy to use on-off slide switch, an IP66 rating for water resistance and a user-selectable record indicator with either LED lights or a vibration-only Covert mode, all in a package weighing less than five ounces.
“At Safariland, we know officers like to customize their gear and make adjustments to get their system dialed in perfectly, so selectable options were core elements of this design. The LE5 body-worn camera and CAS technology are defining the way law enforcement agencies integrate connectivity and technology into policing,” McCarthy added. “This leading-edge wearable technology reinforces our commitment to provide the most innovative solutions for law enforcement.”
As with other Safariland VIEVU body-worn cameras, the LE5 camera integrates with their CJIS- compliant digital evidence management systems. Agencies may select either VIEVU® SolutionTM, the fully hosted cloud system built on Microsoft’s Azure Government cloud, or VERIPATROLTM, the onsite solution.
Product presentations of this new body-worn technology are on display throughout the 2017 IACP Conference at booth #1515. Agency Test and Evaluation opportunities will also be available. For more information, visit www.vievu.com.

SAFARILAND VIEVU Introduces the ClipLock Universal Body-Worn Camera Mounting System
Offers multiple options for switching body-worn cameras between various uniforms
October 18, 2017, PRNewswire
ONTARIO, California – Safariland® VIEVU®, a brand of The Safariland Group, will debut the ClipLockTM universal body-worn camera mounting system at the 2017 International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference (IACP) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This proprietary ClipLock design is integrated into a series of specialized mounting systems, providing officers multiple mounting options to quickly and easily transfer a camera between uniforms. This system will be on display during the October 21-24 conference at booth #1515, and will be available November 2017.
Based on input from law enforcement officers throughout the U.S., Safariland VIEVU designed the ClipLock mounting system to allow officers to switch body-camera mounts without having to use any tools. By using this improved attachment system, officers now have more options when mounting their Safariland VIEVU body-worn camera. The ClipLock system can be used on anything from lighter-weight uniform shirts, to external armor carriers and heavier winter coats.
“We’ve been outfitting officers with our protective gear for more than 50 years,” said Sean McCarthy, who leads VIEVU and Safariland’s wearable technology business. “Innovative accessories – from holster attachment systems to body armor pouches and other ballistic add-ons – have been integral to equipping officers with options for greater efficiency and safety. Cameras are no different. Officers need a variety of attachments that work with their uniform, outerwear, armor, or other special equipment. That’s what prompted our innovative ClipLock design,” explained Sean McCarthy.
The ClipLock Spring Slip is featured on the new Safariland VIEVU LE5TM body-worn camera, and both the LE5 LITETM and LE4 body-worn cameras may be retrofitted with ClipLock mounts. The ClipLock design is made of rugged and weatherproof metal and ABS plastic, with the male portion affixed to the body-worn camera. The interlocking female portion is integrated on a variety of mounting options. The system attaches by inserting the camera’s post into the slot on the specific mount, turning it 90 degrees and pushing the camera down to lock it in place.
“Our collection of mounts for the ClipLock system include our most popular clip attachments: a magnet, hook and loop, and an innovation called the Uniform Clamp. It simply clamps to the clothing fabric and holds stronger than a magnet. We believe this clip will set a new standard for camera attachments in the industry,” McCarthy added.
ClipLock Spring Clip
Compact and lightweight, this durable spring clip features a breakaway design for officer safety. Can be oriented in either horizontally or vertically. Comes standard with LE5 body-worn cameras.
ClipLock Hook & Loop Clip
This easy-to-use mount attaches to any clothing outfitted with hook and loop fabric. The female plate attaches to a patch of color-matched loop fabric, which has been sewn onto a carrier or other clothing. The user can then easily attach and detach the camera from the affixed mount.
ClipLock Uniform Clamp
This versatile mount is designed to securely attach to most clothing, including heavier-weight fabric such as jackets, without damaging fabric. This mount can be attached to outerwear and worn for an entire season. Metal adjustment screws ensure that, once installed, the Uniform Clamp is locked into a secure position providing a highly stable surface for Safariland VIEVU body-worn cameras to be attached.
ClipLock Magnet Clip
This universal magnetic body-worn camera mount easily attaches to most clothing without damaging fabrics. This ingenious design features a strong magnetic plate that slips into a pocket or on the body side of clothing. The female side of the ClipLock system plate connects to the camera, and this plate attaches through the clothing to the magnet for a secure hold.
Safariland VIEVU ClipLock mounting options will be available for sale online. For more information, please visit www.vievu.com.

Safariland VIEVU LE5 LITE – Law Enforcement’s First Price-Sensitive Integrated Body-Worn Camera and Digital Evidence Management Solution – Now Available
LE5 LITE camera has security and capabilities large agencies deploy but at lower cost with broad functionality
April 19th, 2017, PRNewswire
ONTARIO, California –Safariland®VIEVU®, a brand of The Safariland Group, today announces that its LE5 LITE™ body-worn camera, the industry’s first price-sensitive integrated body-worn camera and cloud-based digital evidence management solution, is now available. The LE5 LITE body-worn camera is a best-in-class, fully-integrated system enabling agencies to implement a comprehensive body-worn camera program at an affordable price.
“This LE5 LITE is a category changer that simplifies the purchase and implementation process for body-worn cameras,” said Scott O’Brien, president of Safariland. “We have removed the complexity while preserving the integrity of secure evidence. This changes the perception about body-worn cameras and storage being expensive, enabling agencies to easily implement a system at a very reasonable cost.”
The LE5 LITE body-worn camera utilizes the fifth generation Safariland VIEVU camera platform and the VIEVU Solution™ software. This cloud-based digital evidence management solution was built on the Microsoft® Azure Government Cloud and is the first enterprise cloud to directly support the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division. The system benefits from the same security features and much of the storage capacity that large agencies require, while also meeting the demands of smaller budgets. In addition, VIEVU Solution software is user-friendly and quick to deploy, requiring only a website interface and an efficient registration process that enables deployment into the field in as little as 24 hours.
“With agencies today being tasked to do more with less, this technology is multi-functional, going beyond patrol duty and can be utilized by detectives as well as parking enforcement and school resource officers,” said Jason Wine, vice president of engineering and technology at VIEVU. The LE5 LITE camera combines performance, ease of use and convenience, with a secure, cost-effective approach to storing video data.”
Compact and extremely light, the LE5 LITE body-worn camera weighs only 2.7 ounces, less than half the weight of the most common body-worn cameras, yet is tough enough to withstand the everyday rigors of patrol. Durable and robust, the LE5 LITE camera is operable in all weather conditions, including temperatures ranging from minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit to 122 degrees Fahrenheit. The undistorted field of view of its precision 95-degree lens accurately represents an officer’s maximum field of view and distance to ensure the integrity of recorded evidence. Further, the LE5 LITE camera has a battery life of six hours and features Safariland’s proprietary, simple slide on/off switch that covers the lens when the camera is off.
In the field, officers are able to livestream videos and add metadata via WiFi using the Safariland VIEVU smartphone application at any time. For officers who prefer to wait until returning to the office, they can dock their camera in a ten-unit docking station (optional purchase) for simultaneous hassle-free upload and battery recharge.
After the digital evidence has been uploaded to the cloud, the officer is able to add metadata and event details to the case using the system’s browser-based interface.
The LE5 LITE body-worn camera is available at an MSRP of $199, with two options for storage: $20.00 per camera for 50 GB per month and $30.00 per camera for unlimited storage.

VIEVU and Veritone to Bring Multi-Dimensional Artificial Intelligence to Law Enforcement Audio and Video Data
April 4th, 2017, PRNewswire
ONTARIO, Calif. and NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., April 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — The Safariland Group (“Safariland”), the parent company of VIEVU® and a leading global provider of safety and survivability products designed for the public safety, military, professional and outdoor markets, and Veritone®, a leading provider of artificial intelligence solutions, today announced their intent to enter into an agreement to integrate their product offerings to apply artificial intelligence to uniquely extract and process crucial data from police body-worn camera footage. The Veritone Platform will be available to Safariland’s law enforcement agency customers as a complement to VIEVU’s body-worn cameras, accessories and software, later this year.
The integration will allow VIEVU’s customers to upload large volumes of video and audio recordings into the Veritone Platform and process them in near real-time, enabling law enforcement personnel to rapidly extract actionable information for use in investigations, monitoring and training, as well as to respond more quickly and efficiently to public record requests.
“The Veritone Platform will enable law enforcement agencies to save thousands of hours of manual searching by using intelligent audio and video analysis, allowing them to focus time and resources on more mission-critical tasks,” said Chad Steelberg, chief executive officer of Veritone. “The Veritone Platform uses more than 40 best-of-breed cognitive engines, ranging from transcription and face recognition to sentiment analysis to object recognition, which will provide VIEVU’s users the ability to derive comprehensive, actionable insights from their body camera footage in near real-time. Importantly, we have long admired VIEVU’s products and its dedication to innovation, and we look forward to working together to advance public safety with artificial intelligence technology.”
“Joining Veritone’s best-in-class artificial intelligence capabilities with VIEVU’s leading body-worn camera and video solutions has the potential to bring critical, world-class technology into the hands of thousands of law enforcement personnel,” said Terry O’Shea, chief technology officer of Safariland. “The combined offering of the two companies allows law enforcement agencies to sift through data with never before seen accuracy, security, and reliability, greatly reducing the number of hours needed to review footage. Using the Veritone Platform, VIEVU customers will be able to choose various cognitive engines, empowering them to select the best fit for their region or agency.”
The Veritone solution stores users’ private audio and video files securely within the platform, which is run on the Microsoft Azure Government Cloud, the first enterprise cloud to directly support the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division. The Veritone Platform also can operate in closed, localized on-premise implementations and on a wide range of client server configurations.
