Motorola Solutions launches bodycam subscription service

CHICAGO - Motorola Solutions Thursday announced a police bodycam subscription service that will allow departments to acquire this video technology with no upfront capital investment.

Motorola's new Video-as-a-Service combines body-worn cameras, digital evidence management software and cloud-based storage and support in a bundle for law enforcement agencies.

With no upfront costs, this service plays a vital role in helping law enforcement promote transparency and accountability within their agencies while also helping to keep officers and communities safe, Motorola said.

"We want every police department in the United States to have affordable access to a technology that provides transparency and an objective source of truth" said John Kedzierski, senior vice president, Video Security & Analytics at Motorola Solutions. "To that effect, we're offering our body-worn camera subscription for $49 a month."

Beyond body-worn cameras, Motorola Solutions has also launched two additional mobile Video-as-a-Service offerings, one bundle for in-car cameras with license plate recognition and a second bundle for an integrated system of body-worn and in-car cameras together.
